we" That does describe a dog. He loves you for yourself, and, though some times he may seem a bit greedy, he'd stick to you even when the good things of life are no longer yours. sa
 Talking about dogs reminds me of something very funny that happened not long ago among a family of them. It consisted of a French poodle, an English bulldog, French bulldog, two Prince Charles dogs a fox terrier and a dog the breed of which wasn't very clearly defined, but which was the snlartest of the lot. They had always got along in life most beautifully but one day the English bulldog lost her i temper flew at one of the Prince 1 Charles dogs and killed it in about a minute and a half. There was great grief In that stable, and that afternoon, when poor little Flossy was to be bur jed all the dogs from the nearby stables came to go to the funeral. They marched two by two, with the coach man, who was their guardian by their side, and the man who had had charge of Flossy carried her ahead in a shoe box. The queer part was that the mur- deress was not allowed to go to the funeral. So when the stable was shut
 
 sion was moving she was visible at the window, looking with longing eyes at the funeral train, as if she didn't ex- actly comprehend why she might not join her walls to the rest of the mourn- CTS.
 Not a dog in that procession but seemed to realize exactly what had happened, and they all of them for days afterward steered clear of the bulldog, as if they knew she had crime upon her soul. You may think they were afraid of her, but they weren't. The big French poodle could have knocked her cut in one round. but they all rsallzed that she had heen mean enough to kin a little dog, and theg had ( psope. and 6eg.ike con tenpt fer her.

felt that he was being made to look more silly than even the two legged pup pies. This special dog was small Prince Charles, and he was gorgeous in a sailor suit-that is to say, he had on a white cloth blanket that buttoned under him, which had a broad, faring sailor collar, with anchors worked in each corner, and blue tie knotted in sailor fashion at his neck just in front.
 But the most remarkable part of the get up was white tarpaulin sailor hat tied securely under his chin, with his name on the blue ribbon band. He not only possesses this get up for the street, but the. poor little wretch rejoiees CD in masher get up described as black coat with a white wastcoat, high white oelluloid collar with a black eel luloid tie about it and crush hat! The acme of dress, however, as far as this dog is concerned, is reached in the aft ernoon when the cup that cheers is be- ing passed around Then my gentle man is attired in a cream white silk tea gown trimmed with fur and having a Cleopatra belt! It has long, flowing sleeves, through which his fore legs are thrust, while there is a most extensive train, and the way to make him show it is to offer him a biscuit and induce him. for the sake of it, to walk on his hind legs. Then the tea gown, with it's un- derfacing of frilled lace, swirls behind him. The effect. is marvelously funny. But you don't know which to feel the most ashamed of-the little dog or the woman who owns him. The unhappy little wretch has his nightgown, and, according to his temper, it IS either pink or blue.
 If l were the man in that establish ment, l would set fire to all the dogs belongings. beat the woman and give the dog liberty or death. l am sure any dog would rather be a convict in Sing Sing than have to wear a tea gown, and, although one may say "siek as dog" don't believe any well bred pup py ever fancied being dressed in a sailor get up.
 Who that cares for a dog does not know how sympathetic he can be when you are i'll? I was reading one of Jer- ome's best books when the rheumatism controlled me, and 1 will never forget how one dog sat and stared at me as if he wondered why his mistress didn't get up and play with him. He licked my hand when I cried from pain, he looked at me with pity when I took glad when I was well that he really dis located his tail wagging it.
