and how many hairs will there be
on his body! Or / will offer to give
a prize unto the lady flea, that in
the opinion of the dogs, is the most
beautiful and popular. Or | will
get up a standing on one leg the
longest contest, with a nice meaty
bone to reward the victor. Or
will offer a reward to the dog that
shall come nearest to guessing which
of all my contemporary Gee
Whizzes is the biggest liar. All
these diversions will keep them
ever on the qui vive, to get prizes ;
and when every hungry dog sees
there is chance for a good big
bone for mere guess he will never
have time or inclination to think
on the General Misery Question.
''But finally, | will teach them
that their great and solemn duty is
to be law abiding and that violence
is wrong. Ye shall make all the
laws and | will teach them to be
law abiding. Ye shall enact that
all dogs are to be bitten and bled at
the will and pleasure of the neas,
and | will teach them that to be
law abiding is the highest duty of
dogs; ye shall enact that no dog has
rights which any flea is bound to
respect and | will teach the dogs
that only by obeying the law can
they obtain their rights. Ye may
trample all laws in the mire, for We
have the police dogs to enforce your
right of trampling and l will teach
them that no dog can hope to retain
the love of God and the sympathy
of the Great Public, if he goes to
trampling on the law. Ye shall
enact that it is illegal for dogs to

abiding. YeShall enact that hunger

"Thus will | keep all these dogs
befooled, and fuddled and muddled,
so that nothing short of the direst
and most unforeseen accident will
enable them to see the joke.
"And if any dog, by reason of
these hard lines, shall growl and
make fuss, and go to illegally
taking any of his natural rights, or
