a • widow. ' Then 1 married a
younger man; I thought 1 tovecl
him, or perhaps I was just lone-

a mistake; he promised to love
me always, but he agrees we
were hasty and he is in favor
of a divorce.
"Before I met him I knew a
fine man my own age; he fell
in love with me, and when. I
married the first time he said
he was heartbroken. Since my
present husband feels as he
does, shall I give him his free,

when we married). And shall 1
look up the other man? 't am

Thank you, Mrs. F. . . ., for
your nice letter. After reading
of your experience with 60 cy-
cle conversion I feel that our
little set-to was as nothing in
comparison. Imagine your being
left out altogether. That is real-
ly one for the book! However,
I suppose with such a tremen-
dous undertaking we must ex-
pect mistakes and faulty work-
manship occasionally. That, I
presume, we must overlook.
What I.do object to is the prac-
tise of the Hydro Commission
of sending these men out on a
conversion late at night. A wo-
man alone in an out-of-the-way
farm house might be frightened
to death to have someone come
rapping at the door. How is she
to know it is only one of the
Hydro men? She cannot know
who it is unless she opens the
door — and that she may be
afraid to do. If the superinten-
dent in charge of the job in-
tends sending men late at night
then the occupants of the house
should be notified in advance.
This same correspondent de-
plores the fact that so many peo-
ple think dropping a clog or cat.
off on the highway is a good
way of getting rid of it. She has
reason to object as one of each
has come to her home this win-
ter. She wishes I would say
something about it. Believe me,
Mrs. F. . , I could say plenty.
To me that is a callous and des-
picable trick. And yet, strange-
ly enough, I don't beleive these
pet -droppers have any intention
of being unkind, or would abuse
an animal in their own home.
They just think by this method
the little creature 'will find a
new home, knowing full well
that few country people can re-
sist giving shelter to the lost and
friendless.
Some of these abandoned pets
are the result of parents having
given in when children have
begged for a' cat or a dog of
their own. Afterward mother
finds it isn't such a good idea
after a11. She may not know
enough about cats to house-
train a kitten properly. In the

event of a puppy she finds
neighbours object to having
their flower beds ruined by a
frisky little dog. So she appeals
to father, unbeknown to the
children — to destroy the poor
little creature. But father is too
chicken-hearted to give it a
merciful death, and he hasn't
the sense to take it to the Hu -
inane Society. Instead, some
Sunday while the children are
at Sunday School, he goes for a
drive in the country; stops the
car Pear a farmhouse or a coun-
try.' home, drops the unwanted
cat er puppy on the side of the
road and drives off with never a
backward glance. Quite a manly
fellow, isn't he?
The poor deserted little _crea-
ture 'crouches for awhile in the
ditch, but eventually moves
away, wandering from house to
house, or hiding in farm build-
ings, ,hungry, lonely and fright-
• enerl, an easy prey to unfriend-
ly dogs. When found nobody
really wants it —. most people
in the country have a cat or
dog of their. own. If a child finds
it, the little animal is lucky.
Then someone out of pity feeds
the "stray" — and then it is
theirs to keep. We have one
such cat at the barn right now.
We think there is something ab-
normal about it, as all it does
is drink milk and sleep. Partner
nevek sees it watching for mice
as We . ,''other cats do, And I
neveirsaw 'anything as hungry
as that cat when itfirst came
off the- o puppies,
in road. Dogs r p pp ,
we are not bothered with at all,
be' cruse Honey has such a jeal-
ous,' disposition, she chases
every dog away that comes any-
where near the place. Of course
we have visiting cats — cats
that come and go -- but visiting
eats`' are different from strays.
"i'hey know where they belong, .
they don't expect to be fed or
Betted, and eventually they go
;:irk home.
Mothers, will you please
:hink twice before you consent
to let John or Mary have a cute
little puppy or kitten of their
own? Nothing could be more
desirable for your wee son or
daughter — children should
have pets — but a pet needs
food, training and kindness. It
will look to you for protection.
If you are not prepared to give
it the care it requires, then
don't adopt a pet in the first
place. If, in all good faith, you
do allow Johnny dr Mary to
have a kitten or a pup, and then
unforseen "circumstances arise
which makes it impossible for
'you to keep it, do remember the
Humane Society or your local
'vet' is ready to help you in just
such an emergency. We, as hu-
mans, were created higher than
the animals.Don't let us betray
that trust by dropping helpless
little creatures off on the road,
leaving them to an uncertain
fate.
And now .. - oh, for goodness'
sakel While I have been hold-
ing forth on kindness to ani-
mals, here's our cat—our Mit-
chie-White—has got himself all
tangled up with my. knitting
wool. "Mitchie—drop it—if you
don't leave that wool I'll .
so help me, I'll drop you off on
the side of the road!" What a
threat .. . I could no more do
it than take my own life.

Even Quakers can be crachety,
and Uncle William, during a long
and cantankerous lifetime, had
abused the privilege. Now he was
being laid to rest, and an atmos-
phere of strain pervaded the
gathering. At last an elderly
mourner spoke up: "Well, there'll
one good thing ' thee can say
about William. He wasn't always
as mean as he was sometimes."

Asked why she had never mar-
ried, a Quaker spinster explain-

A wealthy landowner, 'passing
by a fine-looking farm, was
startled to see a sign on it: "1
will give this land to anyone
who is truly content." Recov-
ering from his surprise, he
thought, "Well, I have every-
thing I need, so I ought to be
well qualified. I think I'll apply."
Accordingly; he knocked on the
door of the owner of the tract,
an elderly Quaker, and explained
his presence.
"And thee is truly content?"
queried the Quaker.
"Indeed I am. There is nothing
more that I desire."
"In that case, Friend," count-
ered the Quaker, "what does thee
want• with my land?"

A CANADIAN CITY HAc'
During the past 20 years, automobile aooidents have taken the lives of
37,000 Canadians —the entire population of a fair-sized city. A half million more
have been injured. •
To meet the staggering cost of traffic accidents, the automobile insurance
business this year will pay out more than 880,000,000. Beyond this, insurance
compardoe will do everything possible to stem the rising toll of automobile
accidents --- by offerbsg the safer driving incentive of lower insurance premiums
for accident -free car owners and through safety work and public educatott aimed
at making drivers more aware of the perils of modern-day motoring.
