THE DOGS IDEA OF HIS MASTER.

He Probably Regards Him as an Amor
nal Member OF His Species.
Our custom of ascrihing human fac
ulties and modes of thought Is an invol-
untary and invariable one when we are
dealing with the mental processes OF
other beings. says DIR. Louis Robinson
in Popular Science Monthly. Even
when we speak of the supernatural the
same habit is manifest, and human pas
sions, emotions and weaknesses are
constantly ascribed to beings presumed
to be infinitely more remote from US in
power and knowledge than we are from
the dog. Tnus we see in the not very
distant past roasted flesh and fruits
Were thought by men to be acceptable
TO the gods, doubtless because they
were pleasing to the palates of the ~or-
shippers. who reasoned by analogy from
the known to the unknown. This should
teach us to bear in mind that there is,
affecting the dogs point of view. al
most undoubtedly such thing as cyno-
morphisrn, and that ne has his peculiar
and limited ideas of life and range of
mental vision. and therefore perforce
makes his artificial surroundings square
with him. 1t has been said that man
stands to his dog in the position of a
god, but when we consider that our
own conceptions of deity lead us TO the
general idea of an enormously power
full and omniscient man. who loves,
hates, desires, rewards and Furnishes in
human-lilze fashion, it involves no strain
of imagination to conceive that from
the dogs point of view his master is an
elongated and abnormally cunning dog;

LAST SUMMER.

BAo wss oosntry maiden.
a City youth was I,
Laltng away each golden day
As the summer nnor tbs went By.
But 0, there never was fairer
Or gentler lass, God knows:
More blue her eye than the August sky,
And her mouth was small wild rosel
And VIC used TO walk together
Hand in hind We too
In the silent hours when the forest flowers
Were fresh with tho morning dew.
She seemed in the leafy woodland
Like young divinity,
And the girlieh grace OF her primrose face
Made half saint Of me.
Or oft e'er the crimson sunsets
Had left the he3cs in gloom,
With sober talks in our meadow'walks
We drove the slow cows home
A thin white moon above Us.
Astarte in the west
And in the trees q singing breezs,
And its lullaby Of rest
4 cottage in sn orchard.
Which rose-vtIes clustered DER.
A parting word, sigh unheard
Anc lingering at the door.
She was country maiden,
A city youth was 1,
Idling away each golden day
As the summer months went By.
And now, ns 1 sit here smoking
In my cozy room alone,
In the aim twilight Of the winter night
/ live DER the summer gone.
And o. her voices music
Through my lonely study flows.
Ana o, hcr eyes like tho August skies,
And her mouth like a small wild rose

JOINT B REFUSED
BY the Farmers Alliance Speakers at
Statesville.

SrATEsyILLE, March 19.-Skinner and
Polk spoke. Butler started in by attack
ing Joe Caldwell, and the audience cried
him down, so he stopped short. Robbins
and Turner asked for a division of time
and joint discussion, but this was refused,
but Robbins asked many questions, which
the speakers found it hard to answer.
He asked Skinner how he, as a democrat,
could canvass with Polk, a third party
leader the answer was very lame.
The general result was that the Iredell
democracy showed its teeth against the
sub treasury and-the third party. The
crowd was nearly unanimous against
Polk. Robbins and others gave notice
of a meeting of the Iredell men April 8,
and challenged Butler, Skinner and Polk
to a joint discussion. Then the challen-
ge was accepted by Butler and Skinner.
On that day there will be a full turn out
of the people and a great day for Iredell
and the democracy.
