A CUP OF COLD WATER.
How You May Relieve the Suffering {

How You May Relieve the Suffering of
Your Pet Dog.
our Animal Friends.
Has II ever occurred to YOU, young peo-
pie. that al times your pet dog may &C.
tually be suffering for a drink of water?
We know IL little girl who used to think
1t great fun to see her Scotch terrier
scratch the closet door. begging bis
young mistress to fill his own rarticular
water cup. The little girl believes now
that her pets cup should always be kent
filled and within his reach. Suppose she
thirsty; what would rossie do?
Another dog of which wc know cnokcd
himself nearly to death by attcmpting. to
from the nan. He was so big that he
stuck fast and he howlcd until some one
OF the household came to his assistance.
y thoughtful lover of animals tells us
that she keeps Il, pail of water on the
grounds OF her place in the country for
any stray dogs reircshmsn' IT is, as
empty the pail. hut. oh, the shame ,f it!
Many Of the dogs are not stray dogs at
all, They are well bred. well fed and
well cared for-wi,h the exception ui iy of
the mereful cnn of cold water. on sum
ner nights n little dog. with Il bell around
his neck used 10 nut in an appearance
regularly at about 10 o'clock. Ills hcne-
know the tinklc of his bell, the pa.:er Of
his paws and the thirsty tapping OF mis-
eager llltit tongue IN tiie pail
our young people who live in the coun-
try can do much FOR dogs comfort, can
they not? Those who live in the city may
follow the example ii the little girl. Place
II cup or "A bowl in some corner whoNe
your dog can always lind IT. and keep it
filled with fresh water. 1t eiay be anus
