riiiced in a moment OF ill-considered
action. The people who are prone to
fall on their knees to do us honor when
success is with us may be the first to
throw the stone of malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads. The
one absolutely unselfish friend that
man can have in this selfish world, the
one that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treacherous

cold ground where the wintry wind
blows and the snow drives ticrcely, If
only he may be near his masters side.

sores that come in encounter with the
roughn"ss of the world. He guards the
sleep of his pauper master as If he were
prince.

faithful dog asks no higher privilege
than that of accompanying him. to
guard against danger, to fight against
