THOMSON'S TRANSLATION OF THE

THOMSON'S TRANSLATION OF THE
BIBLE.
Prof. Francis Bowen, of Harvard,
brings 10 notice an almost tory often
translation of tn, bible by Charles
Thomson, who was Secretary of the
Continental Congress, and published his
work in 1908 Thomson was diStin-
guished teacher of Latin and Greek in
Philadelphia, and he spent the better
part of twenty eight years on his YER
sion Of the Scripture. Prof. Bowen has
been examis ing the book, and it is his
deliberate judgment that, in many re-
spects, il is better than the revi ion of
1881. Thomson anticipated some Of the
changes recently made. He printed the
texts in paragraphs, and the songs and
poetical citations a. ortry In lines OF
unequal length. He also omits the pas
sage in the first episrle of John, con.
corning the three that bear record IN
heaven" and h. prints in brackets tn"
doxology at the close Of the Lords
Prayer, mentioning in foot-note thar
in many ancient manuscripts it il

A Dog With Brains.

The taleis that Of a dog belonging
to a man named Thompson, who
runs a rifle range at the races. The
dog is fifteen months old, is part New
foundiand and part shepherd dog.
His youthful wisdom attracted to him
many frieEds, and when his life was
threatened last summer a subscrlp-
ton was taken up and his license
paid. He was a vagrant dog at the
time, with headquarters at Rocky
Huifsmitns but became attached to
Thompson, who had been mainly in
srumental in taking up the subscrip-
ton He reformed, as it were, and
took up his residence at the house OF
Thompson. Thompson run the tar
get shooting at Jewell Park. The
dog used to accompany him to the
park mornings from the city on the
Circle train The dog quickly learned,
however, that he could make the trip
alone, and, being still of a rather
wandering nature. he would some
times return to Thompson's house
after the latter had gone to the park.
He would go down TO the Curtis
street Depot Of the Circle Road and
wait for the train. This he would
take with rs much unconcern as
though he had paid his fare, and
would ride to the park, where he
would engage in search for ms
master. II unsuccessful he would re-
turn and take another train for the
city. This he has done at least fifty
times during the summer. On the
Circle train he has come 20 be looked
upon as one of the working force, and
is allowed free passage. Heis sober,
quiet Notwithstanding dog, and as
he leans out on the step to take a
look ahead to see that all IS clear,
he seems to weigh with responsible
ty.
The conductor of the train is
authority for the statement that on
one occasion, when the train Yves ap
preaching a drove of cattle, the dog
became greatly excited, barked loudly,
and. standing on his hind legs, placed
his paws upon the brake as though
trying to apply it.
