The "Right Now" Period We nit) it people who wunt what wo want when we want it. Every moment brings something in the lino of invention which would make .the pioneer of tho Grande itrntle valley stagger if he could but know it. For instance, five days from New York to San Fran cisco was fast enough for the most important mail in tho (pinion of many a few weeks ago but when the government- inaugurated twentyseven hour deliveries by air its transportation facilities had to be doubled to provide for the first mail. Everything is good enough for man until something btter turn up. Our pioneer forefathers congratulated themselves on it footpath clear of brush and savages. Their 1'utheu marveled at the vapidity of stage travel and the gwiflness of the pony express. Tho inventors of the steam jnilroad enpine were condemned for their "ungodly haste." Little more than a decade ago thirty miles an hour was a fearsome rate of speed for an automobile. Today manu facturers of automobiles for private use are spending adver tising appropriations to tell the public that their cars will "beat seventy." Yesterday five days was enough for trans continental mail. Today only the dtfferp;iqo in postages make", five days tolerable. Lieutenant Jlaughan's fifteen itr.ur, "dawn to dusk" flight is a challenge to tho postal department to "improve its service." '.' But until quicker mail deliveries are provided twenty seven hour service from coast to coast will be acceptable d a "much needed improvement over the unnecessarily blow five days' service by railroad." It is quite evident that America has not yet reached the 'end of its speed mania. .Many n di'iiuuiM itrnwH hoarse (i luis hi sell n hot of throat tali' lei.

The Dog's Life ;' Acts of cruelty to domesticntod animals are less freq uent today than homicides and prosecutions for the cruel treatment of human beings. There are some grounds for the statement that the public is loss angered by tho mis treatment of humans than by the mistreatment of dumb i 'initials. Our heartstrings are touched by the helpless, is 'the way we explain this seeming anomaly. We of today "take for granted that man lms always been lis kind and gentle with animals as ho is today. Hut when wo so think we forget that there must have been some extreme provocation for the ninny laws against cruelty tit animals and some cause for tho inception of the so well organized societies for the prevention of cruelty to inti mitis. On second thought tho older spectators of life can probably recall a time when it was not an uncommon occur tence for drovers and drivers to cruelly beat their beasts-of-burden on tho public highways, when it was a man's priv ilege to treat his animals as ho saw fit or as his disposi tion prompted him and when any act of cruelty toward atiimals was committed with impunity. It was one hundred and two .veal's ago in England that the first law was passed taking front the individual and J.lacing in tho government, tho power to determine how domesticated animals v. ere to bo tieated. Two years later V) Old Slaughters' Coffee House at the upper end of Mar tin's Lane, London, tho first English society for the pre vention of cruelly to animals was organised, nichard Mar tin, Irish member of parliament, pot the humanitarian bill. fcdoptt'd at a tune when bear-baiting, dog-fighting and bull bating were popular sports in England. The Kov. Arthur liioomo organized that first society at Old Slaughters.' j; The world today is not surprised that the slxteen-year-o'd Princess Victoria supported Ihoonie's society and that ?.roonie on his, death bed, after spending his fortune for his animal friends, requested that his dog bo cared for.
