in villages, perhaps from q sense Of
greater security OF the desire for social
advantages. The result is greater
demand for village holes than for
others, and correspOndingly harder
conditions for their requirement. In
some populous villages many families
will be found crowded into a single
hole where they suffer for lack Ofroom
and air, the little dogs often dying
from suffocation. There is really no
necessity for this, however, since there
is always a plenty Of unoccupied land
in such villages; but the dogs that con-
troll it prefer to hold it vacant until
they can realize a greater return for its
use than any dog is yet willing or able
to pay.
The chief benefit arising from this
improved and civilized system Of land
holding, is that it enables the land
holding dogs, those that hold more
than they need for their own personal
use, to live without the labor of dig
ging holes and seeking food as their
uncivilized ancestors were obliged to
do, and also gives them leisure In
which to devise plans for the further
ciVilizing of their fellow dogs. 1t is
to that system and the leisure it af-
fords some dogs that l am indebted for
the opportunity | now enjoy Of going
abroad and comparing the civilization
Of dogs with that of men.
To be sure, the great majority OF
dogs, the lsndless and those holding
only as much land as they use, have to
hustle somewhat harder fol- holes and
food than was necessary before the in
PRODUCTION Of the new system, but they
have become used to it, and some of
them would hardly listen if you should
tell that one dog has as much right to
dig hole as another, as long at least
as there are unoecupied hole sites
enough to accommodate whole sights
of dogs.-The True American, April25.

belong to the race of prairie dogs,
and was born on Flat Island in Lake
Michigan. Dogs are the sole inhabi-
tants Of the island, and now number
many thousands. Still there Is ample
room for thousands more, and efforts
are being made to induce dogs from
other places to come and make the
island their home.
The Flat Islanders are perhaps the
only community of dogs making just
claim to civilization. The older inhab.
ltsnts can remember when they all
lived in the state of nature, little or no
advancement having been made in the
art Of government.
In those days each dog was at liberty
to dig his hole wherever he could with
out disturbing any other dog, but he
had to dig his own hole and hustle to
g9t food for himself and his little dogs.
Later on, some Of the more enter
prising, progressive and influential
dogs conceived the idea Of appropriat-
ing all the unoccupied land and exact
ing certain artificial conditions upon
which it should be used by those desir
Ing to dig holes. 1t is not known
whether the idea was original with
them, or whether it was borrowed from
q man who, as l observe, has adopted
the same'idea. Certain it Is that its
adoption wrought great change in the
condition of the inhabitants Of Flat
Island.
Now there is NO free land. The en-
tire island has become the property Of 8
comparatively few enterprising dogs,
some Of the more wealthy controlling
whole acres partly occupied and partly
unoccupied.
When landless dog now wishes to
dig hole he must first get permission
from some lsndlolding dog, which is
generally granted upon condition that
be shall dig certain number of holes,
OE gather a certain amount of food for
tho landholding dog. Some Of the more
enterprising and public spirited have
holes dug upon their lands, which they
rent out to lsndlesS dogs for stipu-
lated annual service of one kind or
another.
