Wedislike dogs! We despiso dogs! We
have an nnconqucrablc rvpugnance for the
canine species in general, and tho "yallah''
variety in particular. We never knew why
a poor man had to keep three dogs, while a
rich man could get along Without any dogs
are like children in this respect, they always
arc most plentiful with those who can worst
afford to indulge such luxuries-and the
only tenahe objection that can he raised
against the. bible is that it describes Dives,
tho rich man; DIS being the owner of many
dogs, while Lazarus, the poor man, was the
pcssessor Of nary tanine. The reverse Of
this statement is more in accordance with
all human cxpcriencc-with :" the teachings
ofphilos"phy and the attestations Of history"
We don't understand why people in town,
keep around them-secmingl for no other
purpose than to disturbquct ncighborhoods-
those singed.backcd, lazy hounds, that
growl at people from behind wooJpiles and
run bowling out Of sight if a stick is shak-
Gu at them. J Whose lean aud hungry
ribs, are like 30 many Thermometers telling
the degree Of cold poverty Of their masters
and their Wild, glaring eyes
excite unpleasant visions Of ny irophebia.
Every enemy Of such dogs can look upon Us
as q friend. Every disturber Of thcir peace,
or rather every one making that peace cter.
nal is entitled to our bsst wishes for his
success. .'' |''."'" 'al-"'t
But among dog, as among tho non:
paying subscribers Of a ne wspaper, there are
a few honorable exceptions. There arc the
decent dogs, Of decent people; respectable
themselves, and treating all respectable folk
in respectful way. Polite, accomplished
and refined dogs-both useful and orna,
mental. There be dogs that are "com'
1panions for men, as we'll as uien who are
companions for dogs. vi
What We object TO- is that the canicida
a.tcmpts are always directed at the bcs
dogs, while poor ones go untouched.
Some Of our citizens own bird dogs--ex
Ecel!ently trained and OF valuable breed
which never harm or modest anybody, ant
s!yct, strange to say, they can scarcely s.
Through the streets unless an attempt il
made to poison them. Several ~gen,lcmc'
have lost fine dogs. Others fearing that thei
dogs may meet; q similar fate keep then
muzzlsd. And yet the yc'ping, snarlin'
|pack Of singed backed hounds arc snffsrct
to run unmolested though our streets enjoy
ing our all municipalprivilcscs and no ham
is raised against them. , ri
