A Few Cases Cited. Below we will give a few of the fmany incidents of the daily routine iof our office, some cases with encouraging results: , Mrs. M- , a widow with one child, tout of food and work, came to office ito find help a place was secured for Jher, and she was able to care for herteelf and child. Ethel W was placed in a good Tiome, and protected from drinking 'parents. John and Mary taken from parents, who were habitual drunkards. Widowler left with five small children. Two 'were sent to White's Institute, the kather paying for his children's board iand keep.
. One little girl Nancy, adopted by
iher aunt.
One young family, strangers in Jtichmond, sick and in distress, were feared for, by a class of girls from
North Side Mission Sunday school, un hil the wife was able to do her work.
-i ; So the story conld go on indefinitely.
L Discouraging cases are such as
these:
Husband and wife both habitual drinkers, with no prospect for change jln condition. One man deserts wife with two tsmall children going away with another woman who leaves three children. When we put into effect the law passed by General Assembly of 1907 Chapter 29, Section 1 ; - also Acts of 1907 Chapter 25, Section 1 then will there be fewer wife desertions, and .fewer forsaken children and the Problem of nauDerism will be in a
measure be solved. Missionary's Work. A short summary in figures will show perhaps better than a more lengthy account, the work that has engaged the time and attention of our most worthy missionary during the znpnths Just passed. Children placed in families 10 Children placed in White's Institute 18 Children placed in Indianapolis .... 2 Children placed in Ft. Wayne Feeble Minded School 3 Children sent to Plainfield School. . 1 Children adopted 5 Children to Home For Friendless. . .15 Total children cared for 54 Six women and two men sent to their homes out of the state. Seven sent to hospital for treatment. 48 white and 25 colored families ihelped financially and in many other ways. We deem it worthy of mention, that a. number of our business men, such us coal dealers, grocers, liverymen, dry goods merchants, deliverymen, printers, and the newspapers have contributed to the work in addition to their regular subscriptions by discounting or not submitting any bills, for which we assure them- of our ap- ' preciation of their generosity, and therewith express our thanks. May we not again ask the citizens of Richmond to take more attentive Interest in and for the work of associated charities, giving of themselves, and also money. Get better acquainted with the work this year. It will be easier for you to give your money, and it may lead to what is still more valuable, the giving of yourself.
with its abuse by ignorant or brutal
drivers.
How often do you see the protest of
a horse who is being jerked hither and yon, beaten because he goes in the wrong direction when he is being sys
tematically pulled in that direction.
How indignant you get when you see
a man leaning over a aasnDoara ana lashing an animal which is doing its best to interpret the contradictory sig
nals from the driver?
Attention has been frequently called
to the barbarous custom of checking
and of permitting horses to stand hours at a time with their heads cruelly pulled back by the check-rein.
If the habit of reining is practiced, at least when you hitch your horse to a rack and go down street to enjoy yourself for the day remember to make your horse a little comfortable and permit him to hold his head in a natural position. Anyone in town can walk down street on any day, but especially Saturday, and see horses thus fiendishly punished. "Our Dumb Animals," the well known publication which has an international circulation and which says on its cover "We speak for those that cannot speak for themselves," says relative to the establishment of a school for drivers: "Few things irritate more a good driver than to see the stupid, ignorant, utterly Irrational methods pursued by many boys, and even men, who have been entrusted with horses, and who know no more about driving than they
do about steering a boat. The yanking, the sawing of the mouth, the jerking of the head, the constant nagging of the horse by reins and whip, the urging the horse forward and then pulling him back at the same time these and other evidences of total lack of knowledge of how to guide and control a horse through the sensitive organ of its mouth, or by the voice, force upon us the desire to see such a school for drivers established as we can make possible when our new Hospital is built. This is a d ream which we expect to see realized. A certificate from such a school would be worth some
thing to a young man looking lor a driver's position. The June number of "Our Dumb Animals," is full of interesting matter relative to animals and birds and has many effective illustrations. Among other things it says, apropos of the wide-spread interest being taken in the protection of song birds: "Urge upon your congressman the great need of adequate protection of migratory birds and the further need of international agreements for the conservation of bird life." And, apropos of what was said here a few days since with regard to the slaughter of robins in the South, the following account of the actual deed in South Carolina is of interest: "The robins were found after we had been in the cane-brake about thirty minutes, and then the slaughter began.
They were blinded by the glare of the
torches and also cold and numb after their long flight and it was an easy matter to pick them off the brake.
Those that roosted too high were knocked off with the paddle. We did
not enjoy it very much. It seemed too much like murder. We killed 132 robins, 3 blackbirds and 2 bluebirds." It may be interesting to note, just now, the convention of the American Humane Association, which will be held on October 14th, 15th and 16th, in Indianapolis, and which is the thirty-sixth annual meeting of this organization.

"Indiana," is one of her best known poems and is given herewith: Though many laud Italia's clime .

(National Kewi Association) SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 1. After the most involved and complicated campaign in the history of South Dakota, the state-wide primary election will be held Tuesday. At that time the voters will record their preferences
for nominees for the presidency, for
the United States senatorship, for the
governorship, for full state party tick
ets, for nominees for representatives Congress and for minor offices. South Dakota will be the last State in the presidential campaign to have
a preferential primary. Taft, Roose-I
velt and La Follette are entered in the Republican contest. There is no reason to believe that the situation here differs materially from that in Nebraska, Minnesota and other near-by States and the results are expected to be about the same. South Dakota was one of the original La Follette states and it is considered possible that the Wisconsin senator may still muster sufficient strength to cut down the Roosevelt vote. On the Democratic side it is a fight between the supporters of Wilson and Clark, with the
chanceB of the Speaker materially strengthened by his recent successes elsewhere. Unlike the most of the other States the presidential fight in South Dakota has been relegated to second place in
public interest by the spirited contests for the United States senatorship and state offices, some of which have been running for months. The Republicans are wrought up over bitter factional
quarrels, which at the same time have encouraged the Democrats to get into
the fight in earnest and with the great
est hope for success that they have ev
er entertained. To Name a Senator.
Robert J. Gamble, whose successor
in the senate will be named by the next legislature is a candidate for reelection. His opponents in the Republican. party are Col. Melvin Grigsby of
Sioux Falls, R. O. Richards of Huron
and Judge Thomas Sterling. The presidential questiaon has been injected
into the senatorial fight. Senator Gam ble stands with the Taft Republicans
Col. Grigsby is the leader of the Roose
velt forces in South Dakota, while
Richards and Sterling lent their sup
port to La Follette.
Richard F. Pettigrew, who was el
ected to the United States seate some twenty years ago on the Republican
ticket, but who later left the Republi
can party on account of its attitude on
finance and trusts, is the unanimous
choice of the Democrats for the seat; of Senator-Gamble.
Th center of th Democratic fight revolves around the rival candidacies of Edwin S. Johnson of Yankton, the South Dakota member of the Democratic National Committee, and P. F. Wickhem of Alexandria, who are seeking the nomination for governor. Both men are strong among the Democrats of the state and the contest has become the keener with the brightening
prospects that the Democratc may el
ect the governor next; fall. Loomls S Cull, Frank M. Byrne and George W
Egan are -contesting for the honor of
heading the Republican state ticket.
