MOVED BY SCHOOL TALKS

HOMESTEAD, N. J., Feb. "a
The teachers of the public school
here have been pouring into the
minds Of their pupils many noble
and beautiful thoughts about kind.
ness to dumb animals. Several of
the teachers feel very deeply on
the subject and the word pictures
they painted of the sufferings Of
dumb beats imprisoned by man
made a deep impression on the
pupils.
Six small boys were especially
impressed: so much so, in fact,
that they formed a club the sole
purpose of which was to be good
to dumb animals. At first they
worked in a small way. One re-
leased a sparrow which had got
caught in a clothesline and an
other went home and set free three
rats which he found in a trap in
the basement and which his father
had been trying to catch for many
months. The lad did not quite
understand his fathers attitude
when he told what he had done,
but he let it pass. rejecting that
the elder generation had queer
ideas. anyway.
The club recently decided that
It would be better to go in for
kindness on large scale, and to
do good to q lot of animals at
once. So, after supper the other
night they went to four farm
houses, all they could get to in
the time at their disposal, opened
the bars and let the cattle out OF
the pastures. Then they opened
wide the chicken yards and rum
ways and the hens and ROSTERS
ran cllicking and Growing to liberty
and their pursuit of happiness.
The boys then went home and
slept the blissful sleep that comes
with the consciousness of a
righteous deed. The next morning,
when Homestead awakened, the
Inhabitants thought that cows and
horses, and chickens must have
rained. Cows strolled along the
streets and nibbled the grass on
the lawns. horses galloped along
the thoroughfares and jumped
back yard in the town had its
ing to find breakfast. The animals,
had not taken to the wilds as the
six small boys had hoped; they
merely found some other human
habitation and looked for some
thing TO eat.
Nobody knew what to make Of
the mystery until the four farmers
telephoned that thieves had broken
into their barns and pastures and
chicken houses and stolen every
thing in sight. Then they came to
town. and with the help of the
police and many volunteers man
aged to corral their missing prop
erty.
