Show Temperate Humanity. The driver of a brewery wagon stopped at a restaurant where he delivered de-livered beer and prepared to water his horses. He had filled a pail from the street hydrant and was about to offer it to the near horse when the command "Put that down" caused him to drop the bucket with a splash. Then a woman plunged a thermometer thermome-ter into the water. "Too cold by several degrees," she said. "Get a pail of hot water from the resaurant." The driver mumbled "What for?" but he was awed by the woman's commanding manenr and he fetched the hot water as directed. "Now," she said, "pour some of that cold water out and pour hot water wa-ter into the pail until it registers about 57 degrees. Then water your horses. It is cruel to make a horse drink water colder than that, and every ev-ery member of the S. P. C. A. that I have any influence with is going to keep' an eye on you drivers and see that you temper the water you give to your horses." |
