Georgetown, Conn., pack+ THE MARTYRS “Incredible” HE exposure in a Philadelphia Court of cruelties secretly prac- ticed by “investigators” seems to be opening the public cye. Among the many means of inflicting torture on innocent victims is a device for breaking the backs of dogs. “There is nothing too severe for a person who would devise or use such an apparatus ag this,” said Magistrate Haggerty. “It is almost incredible to believe that a civilized human being would use an apparatus of this sort.” Much to his credit are those words. But they sound as if Magistrate Haggerty was not familiar with the vivisector and his habits. He may discover, before this trial is over, that cruelties yet riore useless and more in- credible are constantly practiced in this country to an incredible extent by in- credible men, and regarded with incred- ible indifference by a civilized people. Grocers GROCER is a man who spends his time in exchanging adult- crated food for unadulterated money. The best time to visit any grocer is after you have had a large, square meal; the worst time to visit him is in the afternoon about five o'clock, when you are half starved and every- thing in his place looks more or less real. But after you have given him an order under these famished con- ditions do not go home to your wife. It is better to give her a few days in which to recover, and incidentally get even with you by ordering two new Paris hats and rhododendron kimonas. To be a successful grocer, one must ave sand, a rich oriental vocabulary that can describe the same tea as if it were in cach case really different, and a complete knowledge of aniline dyes. Also, every grocer should be mar- ried. He can then explain to his cus- tomer when he is trying to sell her some combination of wood pulp and asbestos for nourishment: “My wife has tried this for three weeks and still lives.” Alabama Up To Date M ANY of the statements published in Lire about the condition of the children in Alabama were taken from the census of 1900, and their truthfulness has been _ passionately disputed by many of our Alabama friends. The census of 1910, how- ever, is now before us, and what does it say? In Alabama there are 5.1 per cent of children under sixteen years of uge who are wage earners, This per- centage is exceeded only by, three other states in the Union, namely: Maryland, North Carolina and South Carolina.
