Twenty Million Dogs.


1t is the everlasting regret OF man
that human friendship passes away.
Out of theldiflioulty of securing a com.
panion who will forgive and forget all
faults, and also bear gifts, man turns
to the dog, thus proving that the gifts
need not be gifts Of money. The dog
will look his master in the face, will
flatter that despot with silence which
can only delight the eloquent-aud
will never forsake the human friend
who has honored the poor servant and
adulator above all other dogs. Ga this
account it is found that one out of
every three inhabitants owns dog.
Prodigious testimony of the hunger of
humanity for service aud ilatter,!
There turks behind this not unpleas-
ant picture the horrid presence OF hy-
drophobia. The tongue licking its
masters hand also laps fangs that carry
the deadliest OF poisons. The noble
fayorite Of the householder goes out on
the street and bites small boys. The
father of bitten boy presents. himself
before the owner of the do1 as a per.
son grievously wronged, and society
must, through its courts, debate and
adjust matter that has two sides to a
couple Of ltigants.
The rich man will naturally hold his
pet dogs life at a high price. The
poor father will hold the bite inflicted
on his son to be matter of more than
damages. The dog must be killed.
The law says so, and the law is Just.
The owner beholds the killing of the
dog with feelings of rebellion against
the State, and forthwith believes he is
the victim of remorseless and diaboli-
cal persecution. Should a case of hy-
drophobia supervene, we have a scene
too vivid for description, and all who
behold it become converts to the theory
that dogs as well as tigers should be
totally exterminated.
That there should be twice as many
dogs as horses, twice as many dogs as
cows, aud half as many dogs as sheep
or swine, will convince any student
that the question Of hydrophobia is
but just entered upon. Man loves
his dog, and forgives his one be-
setting sin. Albeit, does not the dog

hostility toward other men p Chicago
