| him, he will never forget il, and when the
| day comes that he can do you a bad turn,
/ he does it; and I confess respect him for
this. His memory is good, and he discrimi-

ne does like he is rapturous-he wishes to
snow his love by kissing you continually.

IL you are in trouble, he will be ex-
tremely quiet and just lick your hand, as
much as to say, ''Well we areifriends in good
times and bad times, you and IL But
Just try to whip him, and no matter how
much he loves you, give you my word of
honor that the society of Cruelty TO Ele-
phants even would come to see what is GO

him; he is young and clever and healthy
and clean and well groomed, and all the
girls are glad to see him when he comes
around, and he is never credited with pos
sesslng the strong feelings that are really
his.
Putup your monocle and look at the King
Charles; his hair is like silk, and combed
ana curled and little perfume put on it,
and he wears gold collar. All the rest of
the dogs look at him and smile. My dear,
he IS the dude; you can meet him any af-
teruoon trying to learn to walk, and max
ing an effort to look like a man or a dog;
you can't decide for yourself how near he
gets to it. This was the result of my visit
to the dog show, which is really the best
show in New York

A woman said to me, do you think a
dog can laugh2" and I answered, =" You
must have treated your dogs pretty badlyif
they haven't laughed at you yet, +" and then
she asked, " Do you think dog has a

never pretended to be orthodox There
are hundreds Of men and women who
haven't got souls-mean. low. contemplate
creatures beside whom even mongrel pup
IS king. Am l to believe that a creature
who can love, who can stick to you
through sorrow and through Joy, who can
distinguish right from wrong, and who can
sacrifice himself for somebody he loves is !!
without soul Certainly not And if the |
dog that l care for hasn't got soul and |
doesn't get to heaven, shall be quite salts |

dogs .won'G let liars and scandal-mongers
into their heaven, if they have got to have
one OF their own.
STORY OF MARIE BAsHKIRTsEFF.
heard story the other day about that
young lady Marie Bash
kirtseff 1t may be old to YOU but it is
new to me. 1t seems that one day she went

waited she was amused by seeing a newly
made widow have herself pictured after a
manner that is essentially French; that is,
standing in her deep mourning with all the
ioral tributes to the late d accused sur
her. These, by-the-by, included
OF of diabolical wreaths made of black and
White beads, inventions only possible to

departed the young girl hunted around the
