Ge\rge Angell Was the Good
Friend of All Dumb Animals
f_
—NK IltTNDRRD AND ONE years
I 1 mm a very, very long time If
on# has only a few years be
hind and the rest ahead, ss have all
of you. It was just that many years
ago, on June 6, a baby boy was born
who many years later was to prove
himself one of the most wonderful
friends In all the world to dumb anl
fnsls. His name was George Angell
and It was he who founded the Mas
saohusetts Society for the Prevention
of Cruelly to Animals, In 1868. Two years before such a society had been
formed In New York, and earlier still one In England. Since part of oun Go
Hawk pledge is to he kind to all dumb animals, each one of you will want
to read more about Mr. Angell, whose work for dumb animals became known
>11 over the world.
Do you wonder how It started? Mr. Angell was a lawyer In Boston In
1S6S. It was the morning after Washington's birthday when he happened
to read In the paper of the horse race the day before, between Boston and
pit* Worcester. The two fine horses forced to run that winter day both lost
their lives.
Mr. Angell, filled with horror at the thought of such cruelty, at once
Issued a call to all others Interested In the welfare of dumb animals to join
with him to form an organization to stop such cruelty. Pnomlnent men,
who felt as he did, answered and In March their society was Incorporated.
On April 15 the city of Boston assigned 17 policemen, dressed in their best
Uniforms, to canvass the city and raise money to help carry on the work.
Afteti awhile, Mr. Angell gave up his law that he might spend his whole
time In carrying on his work for dumb jinlmals. He traveled all over the
United States and In other countries working for them, lie started the
little magazine, “Our Dumb Animals,” the first of the kind in the world. In
those early days there wene no laws to protect dumb animals, and now
there are many.
In 1882 bands of mercy were formed among the children and they
bavs been of much help. Nowhere In the world Is greater kindness shown
to horses than In Boston. In the country nearby a place Is provided where
many tired horses are sent every summer for a two weeks' vacation. Isn't
that a wonderful thing to know and think about? You will wish that every
city In this great land of ours might provide the same sort of place In the
pearhy country for tired horses to have a little vacation each year.
And now, wherever you may be on June 5, why not make an extra
Effort to be kind to all dumb animals near you, your own and your nelgli
bor’s? Give a few lumps of sugar to the horses you . _
pass. No better thing could he done in memory of
who devoted his life to proving himself M
of all dumb animals. * *

It 1* always good to hear how
many Go-Hawks ara working to
make tha birds about them more
comfortable all the year around.
James Worth, an Iowa boy, who
lives near Davenport, has sent to
me the picture of a food house he
has just finished building for the
birds and of which he is very proud.
He has made it to last throughout

Remember, everything you can do
to make life easy and comfortable for
birds the more eager they ara to live
near your home. So ita well Ito build
food houses as well as bird houses
for them. PETHR.

Dear Cousin FI: Your letter sur
i prised me very much, ns I did not
expect an answer so soon. Indeed,
I did not hardly expect sn answer at
all, for I know you must be very
busy, winning blue ribbons at dog
shows, etc. I had a very narrow
escape last night and as a result am
in exile today until my mistress Joan
musters courage to give me a hath,
as she expressed It. You see, I was
bringing the cows up from the lower
meadow and was coming rather fast
as It was getting dark. Well, I head
ed them into the feed lot and then
tl.ought I would take a short cut
through a patch of limber to the
house, as it was almost supper time
and I was hungry. I was running
along when something warned me to
stop. I did. but couldn't se« or hear
anything, so I started on. Well,
believe you me, In a few minutes I
stopped again, and mighty sudden,
too. There, Just a few paces ahead
of me. Ills eyes blazing in the dark,
was Old White Streak. Who was Old
IVhite Streak? Well, I’ll tell you. He
was a skunk, polecat or whatever
you want to call him, and had been
In that timber for several years, Jim
r.or Mr. Grey had been able to catch
him, although he had been In their
traps several times, always managing
to escape. Now, I didn't care for a
tussle with him, being hungry and not
■ arlng for the brand of perfume he
uses, hut I thought It my duty to
get him. If possible. Well, I don't
know how It happened, but a few
minutea lat»r I felt as Boh must have
felt when he was fighting Germans
In France and they let loose a lot
of that poison gas. Oh, man! But,
anyway, I got Old White Streak and
tcok him home. The cat had eaten
most of my supper, but I didn't care,
as I didn’t feel In the mood for eat
ing and don't feel much better yet.
Mother Grey almost fainted when she
found Old White Streak on the door
step this morning; but, boy! I had
steak, mashed potatoes and gravy
for breakfast and Jim slipped me a
piece of pie. So I felt amply reward
ed. What on earth la this queer crea
ttire coming down the walk? Ha! It's
Joan, and she has Bob's gas mask on!
So I suppose I am to have a hath.
Write me another letter and te|| me
about that strange place where you
live. Your country cousin.

THE PARTY.
Dear Happy: I would like you to
send me my button, for I want to
join the Happy Hand. Iam wrltting
a story about a little boy and his
dog.
One* upon a time there was a lit
tle boy, whose name was Roy. One
day while he was playing out in the
yard, his mother railed to him and,
asked if he wanted to have a birth
day party. The little hoy said yes.
He asked hie mother when It was
going to be. His mother said the
4th of October. The little hoy
could hardly wait until the 4th of
October for the days seemed like
weeks, and the weeks like months.
Rut the day finally came, # Before
the party they were eating dinner.
He could hardly wait until they were
through with dinner. In a little
while after dinner a knock came to
the door. And the little boy rushed
to see who It was. It was one of
his little friends who came to the
party. He had a great big present
in his hand. It was a big, big box
of candy. More of hi."* friends came,
soon there were *o many presents
that he didn't know which one to
open first. He had opened all but
one. And the last one was a great
big box, he could hardly wait to open
it. At last he got it open. And it
was a dog. They had lot* of fun.
when the clock struck five and all
Ids friend* had to go home. They
iaPd him that they had a nice
time. Roy thanked them all for his
presents, and bid them goodbye.
After they had gone he showed his
mother sll hi* presents, and *aid,
"He liked the dog best." Hi* mother
asked him what he was going to
name the dog. Roy said he was go
ing to name it Rover. They had lot*
of fun together, until on* day Rover
got sick and died. Roy felt very
sorry snd wept for the rest of the
day. Rut it wa* soon forgotten in
a week or eo. Roy was happy again.

ner and Invite the Go-Hawk* and three
or four otlirr gue»t*. Piggy tell* the glad
news to the tribe and that they may
ask three estra guest*.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
(Continued from Last Sunday).
"Why not invite folks who won't
have a good chance at a Thanks
giving dinner?’’ asked Patience Tre
vellyn. and her sister. Prudence,
nodded her approval. •
"All the kids we know’ll get filled
up at noon, unless we could find
some way of shutting them off be
fore they get clear filled." Tinker'*
tone suggested that he felt equal to
inventing gome kind of a human
stopper.
Piggy hastened to ensure them
that the Squaw Lady did not caxe
whether they Invited children or not,
and that they might ask grown ups
If they wished.
"Let us think hard." advised jack.
“Who is the dreariest one any ct
you know?"
"I guees the undertaker la the
drearlst one I know, and he hasn't
any wife to cook him a dinner.
"How do you know, Pat?"
"Because wh»n we tried to get
Aunt Bailie some beaux there wasn't
anyone gave us a dollar quicker for
her, ao, of course, he must have
wanted a girl. I don't think an un
dertaker would make a very cheer
ful beau, only I hated to disappoint
him, and he looks so mourmful. If
w* asksd him to dinner it would eort
of square that up, for this dinner
will be worth a dollar, and then
most Ukely he could forget about
auntie. Don't you thing so. Jack?"
"If that Is the reason we ask the
undertaker, then I think we ought to
ask the minister. He gave us a dol
lar, too. That Aunt Bailie business
seemed to have discouraged him,
too, for he ha# stopped going with
girls and he just boards around.
Hasn t any wife either."
"I think those two will be about
enough of Aunt Bailie's old beaux
for a Thanksgiving dinner, but I
would like to even up that dollar
business with them. I wish we
could find a cripple or somebody
starving for the other one.” Pa
tience was much In earnest.
"tVhen we see the undertaker, we
might ask him If he know* of a crip
pie, Rnd then he could bring him.”
• The Squaw Lady expects us moEt
likely to invite kids, and she will be
surprised when the minister and the
undertaker walk in, won’t she? '
Tinker addressed his question to no
one in particular. "I’m going to try
to Invent something for that dinner.
You wait and see’”
Just then the Squaw Lady entered
the room, hearing ». great plate of
cookies. "Perhaps these will taste
good to you, dearies So one can
h»lp being hungry after a long af
ternoon In school." If she had doubt
ed the fact, see would have needed
no greater proof than the manner In
Which the plate waa emptied. "Have
you made your plans, and when are
you going to invite your guests?"
"Anybody w» ask will be all right
with you?" Jack thought he might
as well have this point settled first
as last.
"Whoever you can make happy
and will make you happy Is all that
I ask. Let us try to have this
Thanksgiving dinner one always to
be remembered. We may never all
be together again.”
"Anyway, well make this the
thankfulleet dinner anybody ever
had." Patience slipped her arm
around the Squaw Lady: "Were
going to put-our things on now and
go invite our guest*, and, oh, I can
hardly wait.”
"Oh, Jack!” began Prudence a*
soon as they had left the house,
“what fun It would be to dree* up
as Indians. Since this dinner Is to
he given In honor of the Go-Hawks,
let’s all meet at your house and
dress up, and you know It will be
about dark when we go over, and
well paint our faces, and it will be
such fun. When the others come
we II give a regular war whoop. Will
you?”
"We can wear our Indian blankets,
and I still have the old feathers we
us-3 to put on.” Before Jack could
add mor* Tinker Interrupted him.

Field and Forest
V_
No better time could be found in
which to »tudy the leaves of trees
| than in the early summer when they
are fresh and green. Tou have
noticed that every spring the trees
ars busy putting out their young
shoots with row* of leaves along the
sides These branches are held as
far aj possible from the trunk. Leaf
stems and twigs kend so that the leaf
blades may ha turned toward the
sun. They do this because the life
of the tr»e is in the green layer that
may be seen on th# surface of all
green shoots and inside the black hark
of twigs that has turned brown.
If you follow the twig hack from
th* tip you will find that all the
leafy part is green and behind it the
smooth twig is no longer green The
further hack you go tha thicker ‘s
the outer bark. When tha friendly
sun cannot reach th* green layer the
color fades cut. That soft, juicy
layer between th* hark and wood is
the Using part of th# trunk of a tree.
It is through this portion of the tree
that the sap rises from the roots and f
finally reaches the leaves
Before a tree finds th# sap useful
for food it has to he changed and it
is in the leaves where this charge
takes place. Aa the air passe*
through the tiny doorways in the
underside of the leaf it takes the
needed carbonic acid gas with it.
On these lovely, sunshiny day*,
when you are playing out of doors,
the soft green leaf pulp is very busy
making starch. This is the food for
the branches and twigs. This starch
i* in the sugar sap that flows stead
11V from tha leaves to the farthest
root tips Remember it is mads in
the leaves out of the sap brought up
from the roots and the carbonic aoid
gas that th# leaves absorb from tb*
air. Next Sunday I will tell you a
little more of the busy life of tho
leaves. T*NCLE JOHN.
