An important work of such an organ- ization is the humane education of children, many if not most of whom have an ap- parent tendency to make life miserable for helpless animals, particularly those not their own. In some cases the mistreatment of animals is merely the result of thought- lessness and may be checked by kindly ad- monition, in others there appears to be a tendency toward wanton cruelty, which sterner measures are necessary to repress. The teaching of kindness to animals should have a place in the training of every child and it can be taught better by per- sonal example than in any other way. To befriend a stray cat or dog isto teach a lesson in humaneness to all who observe the } act. And such lessons are worth while. A $120,000 BIBLE An idea of the amazing amount of ‘money represented by literary and art treasures brought to America during the recent years may be suggested by the price of $120,000 paid by an American collector for a Gutenberg bible, printed at Mainz, Germany, on the world’s first printing press. This is said to be the highest price ever paid for a single book, but within a few years it may bring a great deal more. A similar bible sold for only $2,500 about 80 years ago. When J. P. Morgan, the elder, died in 1913, his art treasures were valued at close to $100,000,000. His manuscripts included the originals of nine novels by Sir Walter Seott, Dickens’ “The Christmas Carol,” Thackeray’s “Vanity Fair’ and many works by Keats, Poe, Whittier, Longfellow and others. A single purchase of 700 books by Mr. Morgan in 1902 cost him a million and a quarter dollars. The late Henry Huntington left a col- lection fot which he had paid about twenty millions. The finest collection of Shake- speare’s works in existence is in the Folger library in Brooklyn. Europeans have long deplored the ac- quisition of their library and art treasures by Americans, but so long as they are highly prized by our wealthy men, they will continue to come to our shores. city OF FIVE FLAGS The distinction of having been under five different flags belongs to Mobile, Ala. In fact, it has changed flags seven times, as a brief account of its strange record will show. Founded by d’Iberville in 1702, Mobile was in French possession until 1763, when it passed to England by the Treaty of Paris. It was taken by Spain in 1780, captured by the United States in 1813, taken by the English in the same year, and restored to the United States by the Treaty of Ghent in 1815. It flew the Stars and Bars of the} Confederacy during the Civil War, after which it again came under the Stars and Stripes. The Battle of Mobile Bay, on August | 5, 1864, in which Admiral Farragut de-| feated the Confederates, was one of the costing the Federals 385 men, while the, Confederate loss was 10 killed, 16 wounded and 280 taken prisoners. Mobile was in serious financial diffi- | culties during reconstruction days and lost | its charter in 1876, when a commissice wee) established to liquidate its debt of two and | a half million dollars. A new charter was obtained in 1886.

Mrs. Hardin and Mrs. Chester Sawyer were the hostesses serving delicious refreshments. One of the events scheduled for the week is the American Legion ball to be given Saturday night. This is the celebration of Armistice Day that has been planned by the post. A number of artistic fea- tures will be introduced and one of the main features will be the radio concert. Five more alleged local dispen- sers of liquid refreshment were given hearings before the U. S. commissioner this morning. Their eases were considered as being im-| portant enough to warrant their being held for trial at the next term in U. S. court. Bond of $100 was fixed for each.
