Observations Upon the Character of Dogs of

Soon after the brindle pup was sick
word came that a baby had been born
in the steerage, and we all went down TO
see it. 1t was funny looking little baby,
with its big, black eyes wide open and a
mop of curly hair Its nationality was
doubtful Its mother was French, it's
father italian. We were getting near
Queenstown, and it was born under the
British flag. When the collection was
taken up everybody gave something-even

The butcher appeared with broom and
in a way swept up tie whole lot so that
for short time wait was called and the
four dogs sat glaring at each other,
earnestly praying in dog language that

Any human being would think that four
dogs going across the ocean together
would be good friends, but not these
fystes. All three of them hate the brindle
pup because he had the honor OF being
sick. the brindle pup hates all the rest
of them for not being sick. while they
hate each other for any special courtesy
whoever owns them may offer. When I
am on the scene, Alexander seems de-
lighted and the rest of the tribe are
grieved. WheT the sporty looking young
