The knowledge, that poor little chil- dren. sometimes cruelly worked, starved 'and beaten, and helpless dumb animals, subjected to barbarous abuse. had legal- ized rights and could be rescued and protected from ill-treatment, made' an instant appeal to the justicealoving small boy; The idea that there was a strong arm of the Law that would reach out andlgather up these unfortunate. little children and animals when there were no bring human arms to enfold them or were 32' than», was. a ‘wmfortim thought which the small boy cherished in his heart and communicated to some of his school friends. ‘ 'When he paid his next visit to his grew up friend, he brought three other gmall boys with him and the suggestion that they start a humane society The suggestion was as welcome as were the boys and it was quickly. arranged that more children should be ,inirited to join them in carrying out their plans. ,A «peek. later a little. group of boys gathered when The .meeting was named to order, its burpose explained, _a chairman m'metary pm te'm elected, a resolution to form a society, to be known“ the Young People's‘Humane Society of Highland 'Park, adopted, and pfficcrs for the next 'six'months ’elected.

The society holds ‘meetihgs ' every other Thursday, it '3 o'clock p. m. =1: has'as its chief obiezt, at the present time, the erectfon of a drinking flountain. which shall minister to the wants of man and beast and gladden and comfort every passing, thirsty creature. The accompanying picture shows the. fountain the, children are planning to‘ erect. It is simple in design and eon-I struction, economical, serviceable and thoroughly practical in evety way. It is equipped with an aluminum drinking cup, which is stationary, two tin cups. fastened by a chain, and brass rods and strainers. The Illinois Humane Way owns the pattern from which these founâ€" tains are made and furnishes them at the mist price of casting“ 'The cost of the casting and equipment amounts to $65.00. and the erection and putting in commission of the fountain costs $60.90 more, making the entire" cost‘ of in- stalling the fountain $125.(X). This sum includes the brick masons' and plumbers’ bills. A mason’s services are required in digging. a pit, four feet deep (‘4 ft. by ‘4‘ ft. 6 in., inside measurements), and building walls around this pit of hard burned sewer brick,,.eight inches thick, laid in Portland cement; the top of the pit beingjcovered with two-inch plank and finished with six-inch concrete; an opening being made into the pit, 'twenty inches “in diameter, which is covered with and iron frame and lid. A plumber makes the necessary pipe co ections, the pipes leading to and from he fountain being controlled by stop ‘and waste édcka. a stop cock to b; qud solely for regulating (he flow of water into the fountain. and the stop and waste cock for shutting of the water during the freezing weather. ' The children have ulected the place immediately in from of the City Hall. as their chosen spot for the placement of their fonntaht They are confident of interesting the'Mayor and the Council. :3 they already have interested the Po- lite Magistrate, the Town Marshal and the fiditor of the North Shore News Lem-{1‘0 IL; Dorsey, Mr. Nelson and #4:. Burgess, the children are flcafly lndclued for sympathetic and prmical help, as well as to many gener- ous townspoople who are making contri- hu‘floiié to tho Fountain Fund. The Earnefl‘neu and deep aincerity of these little people in their undertaking, as evidenced by their self-imposed wil- lingness {to deny themselves personal pleasure, for the ,sake of putting their money into a fund for the comfort of others. has been the means of saving many :pennies. The children have prac- ticed self-denial, and selfishness is su- prenie service. Theirs is a good exam- ple for emulation, by other children of oxher places. Thanks to their stout hearts and their kind friends, the‘ money will soon be raised and "the fountain a. reality-41 liv- ing entity 'and monument of love and usefulness. m A Great Industryâ€"According to William E. Curtis, “three-fourths of all the calicoes and one-quarter of all the cotton made 'in the United States” are produced at Fall River, Mass, a city of 120,000 population.
