Show SOCIETY SEEKS TO PROTECT HORSES Humane Organization Officials Offi-cials Urge Placing of Orders Or-ders Early During' Rush. Here is an excellent Xowt Year's resolution ir householders ami all others oth-ers who have occasion to order nuy Hoods to he delivered. It is offered by tho L'luh llumauo society. Aud it will uot be Mec.otjs.'iry to wait until .January .!. to put it into effect as it will work well during tho holiday rush. It a this: IT you havo any' thing to order, coal, groceries, or anything- else, put your order in far enough ahead so that delivery men will not have lo overwork their horses to bring the goods to you. Almost every day. it is asserted, there are instances of overworking ol tired horses by. drivers, who do not mean to be cruel, but who are anxious anx-ious to satisfy their emptors by delivering de-livering goods as rapidly us possible. (This is especially true of those who order coal iu the morning that "must be delivered in (ho afternoon." An otllecr of the society recently reported a ease where three coal wagon teams were stalled with overjoads on a steep incline on Thirteenth "Kast street. The officer insisted 011 the drivers doubling their teams aud in I his way thy difficulty diffi-culty was disposed of without over-burdening over-burdening the exhausted animate, Tho soeietv urges that drivers observe sucli thoughtfulness and ussisl one another in cases of like character. But there aro undoubted!" a great, inanv cases of the rush order type which inif'ht be avoided. If the housekeeper, house-keeper, who would be the frrst one to resent anv seeming crueltv to animals, would only remember that sho could do her part to -prevent it bv sending in her orders .iusl a little earlier, much of, the overwork could bo avoided, pays the human soeietv ofliciale. So there is a resolution which will mean kindness kind-ness to dumb animals, and can well bo put into effect while tho holiday rush is on. 1 |
