A-man who is deeply and sincerely devoted to his dog is rarely found in the toils of the law, and people who love flowers are not often criminally inclined, . People who are unkind to domestic pets and beasts of burden may almost invariably be depended“upon to have the same feeling for humanity not far beneath the surface. A dog instinctively knows bis friends, and a number of noted people have been known to say that. they would have no con- fidence in a man who is disliked by .a .dog. April 11 was Humane Sunday, and'this week, April 12-17, marks the twelfth annual national ob- servance of Be Kind to Animals Week as desig- nated by Our Dumb Animals, a humane publication known the world over. # tes Deut We sincerely hope that the time will come when we will have 52 “Be Kind to Animal Weeks” in every year, and that societies for the. prevention of cruelty to animals will be unnecessary in any part of the civilized world. GOLD IN PANAMA The newest gold strike is in Panama and the lucky. strikers are British. If their accounts are true, they are incredibly lucky. No find so rich has occurred since the dis- covery of the Rand gold field in South Africa. And this, say the British financiers ‘who. have. or- @anized a syndicate to exploit.the Panama’ deposits, ig greater than the Rand field. : Moreover, it is all theirs. A rush of. pros- pectors might prove futile. .The syndicate of 50 thembers has concessions to more than’ 10,000 Square miles, including all the known deposits.

Con- stant attendance at games and reading the base- ball news every day would seem to them a waste of valuable time, The present generation regards baseball as a normal interest. Many of the men and boys who devote much time to following the game, would spend the same time, if there was no such sport, in. aimless loafing or something worse. People need an outlet. They can not spend all their time in dull routine. Baseball gives the raasséd one of the most healthful outlets ever de- vised for them, one that does not depend upon any vice for its interest, which leads them to admire & certain form of achievement and skill.
