what Dog Stories Lack.

Presumably wholly satisfactory dog
story has yet to be written. 1t is rather
strange that 50 faithful, so beloved, a
friend and companion as the dog has al
ways been to mankind should have so
little, comparatively, written about him.
When we come to consider that com
partnership and loyalty. are compelled
to set 1t down as remarkable piece of
ingratitude upon the part of man, not to
made his friend the dog more of figure
in the literature of fiction. Mrs. Bar
bauld is said to have written the first dog
story. We have never seen it. The
story of Rab is of course familiar to all
Yet, however much of "a classic it may
have come to be recognized, it is at best
fragmentary, and we must confess that
we do not share that enthusiasm which
is popularity expressed over it.
1t can he taken for granted that no
body but a lover Of the dog will write of
the dog The fault that we have to find
with stories about dogs is their invari-
able lack Of tenderness When the dog
comes to die, his biographer invariably
dismisses that event with a casual Poor
old doggy He has gone where good dog
gies go-the good old doggies' heaven"
1t is as if the biographer were ashamed
10 speak what his heart prompts; as if
he were controlled 10y that same curious,
awkward. wicked sense of pride which
makes the simple fellow feign a smoker
or a laugh during the progress of an emo
tional drama, at the very moment, too,
when lump is in his throat and his eyes
are brimful Of tears. Chicago News

The Question of Fond and Drink.

Fancy being confronted with the ques-
ton, what kind Of food and drink do
you preferY" and only half of a rather
narrow page in which to inscribe the an
swer. How could one answer such a
question in such space? for ones ideas
as to food and drink vary so much with
the hours of the day Morning, tea or
coffee very likely, with breakfast bacon
or kidneys or fried sole or plain boiled
eggs. But who wants boiled eggs and
coffee at his luncheon? Then. again, dry
champagne is generally favorite drink
at dinner, but we do not usually care for
1t at luncheon. aud late at night most
men have a preference for whisky and
soda and would not care in the least for
Pommery or Roederer. Then man may
have a strong liking for oysters, and also
for olives, and how is he to get in all
his opinions on these various questions of
taste as to food and drinkf-Exchange.

James Parton would not do hasty
work. He was methodical, patient, reg
ular and persistent, and in time he had
become so able to control his mind that
it responded to bis viii like the body to
his mind He did not tax himself to
work out great feats within a short time,
or if he was hard pressed he gave him
self rest as soon as the strain was over.
| He did not burn midnight oil, neither
did he resort to wine or tobacco as slim
ulants to his brain. He was one of the
most temperate men have ever known
He kept his faculties every day as near
as he could at their best, and life flowed
on from day to day with an evenness and
a quietness that made his home life not
only pleasant for others, but beautiful in
itself
His habits were to breakfast about
half past :. then to work in his garden
in the summer for an hour, and then to
shut himself in his worl1room, where he
could be sure to be undisturbed until
half past IL. Then he dined, and after
that, in his later years, took nap. Then
he was ready for callers or visits to
friends or for the reading which might
DO required for the work of the next day.
After tea he was usually the companion
of his family, hearing his wife or niece
read aloud some book or magazine, and
this was his daily round, unless broken
in upon, month after month, year in and
year out. He did not often go to Boston

literary acquaintances, and yet he was

THE DANGER OVER

Government Congratulates Police and
Guarantees to Maintain Order
BRUSSELS, April l9-The Belgian
war cloud has subsidized for the time at
least the government has congratu-
lated the police and guaranteed to main
tain order. The government has also
promised to revise the constitution, and
will have reports prepared and brought
in for debate at once.
The action is believed to have been
precipitated by the presence of a great
throng about the precincts of the cham
Der, all evidently much excited and de-
termined that there should be no
delay.
When the chamber reassembled after
the preparation of the reports on
the revision of the constitution,
universal suffrage was adopted, with a
provision for plural voting by classes
owning property according to the
amount and situation of the property,
by vote of 119 to IL, with IA abstain
ing from voting.
The greatest enthusiasm was dis
played everywhere and people joined
in jubilee in honor of the great tri-
umph achieved. 1t is expected that
the decision in favor of universal suf-
frage will have an allaying effect upon
the popular excitement and agitation
which have rapidly been assuming the
dimensions of general insurrection.

An Eye-opener on Coinage

superintendent Allen, of the Butte
and Boston Mining company, of Mon
tana, has sent a letter to the secretary
of the treasury Offering to make any
amount of much better silver dollars
for ninety cents apiece than are at
present in use. Mr.. Allen takes the
position that counting silver at eight y-
five cents per ounce, the intrinsic
value of a silver dollar is only 65.7l
cents. He would put in each dollar
400 grains of pure silver, whereas the
present dollar only contains 37li
grains, and he would number and
letter each coin, so that the govern
ment would not be compelled to re-
deem duplicates, a safeguard now neg
lected. Mr.. Allen says he would reap
a profit in coming while the price of
silver was anywhere under 1929. The
letter adds:
while it has always been possible
to recognize counterfeit paper money,
the present silver coin can he produced
at profit of 90 per cent, and a coin
that cannot be detected. This is true
of silver money, whether foreign or
American. Now, my proposition is
either to withdraw the present silver
money before the excess becomes so
large that it will bankrupt the govern
ment to redeem it, or combine with
foreign powers who are equally in dan
ger and make the old standard of value,
81. 1929, which will make a coin which
cannot be counterfeited without the
use of base metal alloy, which is easily
detected, and for which the govern
ment will never have to pay a face
value. "-ScienIific American.

New Factor in War

The carrier dove, once an emblem of
peace, has become feature of no slight
importance in the modern art of max
ing war. The latest addition to the
perfect equipment of the cruiser New
York is a carrier pigeon cote, presented
by George w. Childs, of Philadelphia.
The very best trained carriers have
been obtained for this cote. This gift
is probably the nearest that the peace
loving nature of the great philan-
thrOpist can come to doing anything
toward war.-0regonian.

Avery pretty girl stepped into a crowd
ed car on the College avenue line She
belonged in the high school and wasn't
in the habit of standing up. The car was
full, but everybody else had a seat. Seven
men held down the most available ones,
and, strange to relate, not one of them
appeared to be aware that a young wom-
an was compelled to stand
The pretty girl, with quick glance of
disgust about the car, took in the situa-
ton and blushed somewhat Indignantly.
She had long distance to ride and
couldn't cling gracefully to a strap. Two
squares had been Travelled when an idea
took possession Of her classical mind
Out came the miniature purse from the
embroidered silk reticule. and the little
hands fumbled among few silver coins.
A nickel dropped to the floor and rolled
to the far end of the car. This is part of
the plan, but it is executed dexterous!y
and the passengers pity her She blushed
and murmured. How awkward of me. -
Unsteadily she started after the nickel,
but seven men intercepted the movement
and rushed to the poiit. as the artful
maiden dropped into comfortable seat
with sigh and deity hid roguish smile
The j-cent piece was rendered by man
who assumed her place at the strap. She
thanked him and looked all innocence
