its existence been admitted by scien-

nothing but the most sensitive gal

HIS BROTHERS KEEPER.
The Lesson n Big Dog Tried to TeacI
a Little One


Two dogs are still held in pleasant
recollection in Melrose, Mass. One was
shaggy, numbering elephantine New
foundland named Major, and the other
sleek, wiry little black-and-tan called
"kikie." Both Major and Kikie have
long since passed to their reward, but
this story of their friendship is still
told by those who knew them.
y few hundred yards from the home
Of the woman who owned the dogs was
railroad crossing. Kikie had the
bad habit of rushing down the street to
This crossing whenever he heard the
whistle of an approaching train. He
would then dash along beside the cars
and bark furiously. Many a time he
had been punished for it, but the roar
Of a train was always too much for his
good resolutions.
One day-the pitcher that goes too
often to the well, you know-some por-
lion of the flying train struck him. He
fell into the ditch beside the track,
and there he lay until old Majors bark
ing attracted the attention of a passing
friend.
The little dog was taken home his
wounds dressed and his battered frame
nursed back TO health. During his
aonvalescence Major was always with
him. and doubtless often said. ~ told

was no sooner out-of-doors again than
he resumed his dangerous habit. Major.

mind that moral suasion was useless.
and physical force must be emploved.
The next time Kikie started for the

dog was light and auick-motioned. and
