The first veto that President Harrison
has sent to Congress is iutenicd 10 put
check on municipal extravagance. Con-
gress had pstaad a bill which permitted
tho city oi Ogden. in Utah, to Increase
Its indebt -dness TO the extent OF eight
per cent. OF the last assessment fer pur-
poses oi taxation, the general law on the
subject, which Is more liberal than slmi.
lar laws in the States. fixing the limi. at
four per cent. The President sets his
face agaInst such legislation. declaring
that "a large city debt retards growth
and in the end defeats the purpose OF
those who think OF mortgagine the
future to attract population and prop
erty." These are sound and whole s ONE
words, aud tho principal which they
embody cannot be too often or too
closely Impressed upon all kinds of
government, whether local or national.

shone through : knot-hole in tho barn
he wanted to 90 to church 50 much! but
he had to give 1t up. Poor Cap!
Next Sunday morning after breakfast
they went to get Cap to lock him up
again, but doggic was not to be found.
They looked upstairs and downstairs,
and outdoors and everywhere, but no
Cap. So they started for church.
When they had got almost there, what
did they see but Cap sitting in corner
OF a fence waiting for them!
He was glad to see them. He jumped
up and wagged his tail and trotted after
the sleigh.
Cap was wise old fellow. After that
he seemed to know when Sunday came
When the nine o'clock bell rang Cap
was up and of. Sometimes he would
get to church first, and when they came,
there he would sit in corner Of the
pow. Even Bobby's father could not
help laughing then.
hut Cap snored SO badly one Sunday
that his master had to put him out right
in the midst OF the sermon. Cap went
out with his head down and his tail
down very much ashamed.
After meeting his master told the
minister how much Cap loved to go
to church.
The minister said: 'Poor old fellow,
let him come, will dnd place for
him."
So the next Sunday the minister took
Cap up into his nice warm study and let
him lie by the fire and sleep while the
folks were in church.
And now Cap is very happy dog once
more. lie goes to church every Sunday
when the others go, and does not have
to run away.-Mrs. C. NJ. Livingston, in
panSy.
