A timid child cries when he is put to
bed because he is afraid of the dark. The
soft hearted" parent stays with him sim
ply because he is sorry for him and wants
to comfort him. The scientifically trained
parent stays with him because he realizes
that the child is passing through a phase
of race development in which his imagina-
ton has the best of him. 1t is impossible
to reason him out of demonology becsRsse
his logical faculties are not developed
After all, these two parents,, wide apart in
point of view, act much the same, and

A Mastin Kills . Little Greyhound,
Disappears and Never Returns.

A gentleman from Indiana county, who
is absolutely reliable, related dog story
which would seem to indicate that a dog
can suffer keen remorse. "a few years
ago." he said, II owned fine, big mas
tiff, which had reared from puppyhood
and who was intelligent and faithful. He
was extremely good natured and seemed
to exercise the most considerable care in
playing with children or smaller dogs not
to hurt them.
when had kept the mastiff for sever
al years, became the possessor of deli
cate little Italian greyhound. The mastiff
treated him as one of the family and new
er abused him, but the little greyhound
considered himself a dog of superior breed
and too aristocratic to associate with the
mastiff. He would snap and snarl at the
mastiff when he came near, and when the
dogs were fed the little greyhound would
attempt to drive the mastiff away. This
continued for some time, until one day
after the greyhound had eaten the guam
tum Of food thrown to it it ran up to the
mastiff, snapped it on the leg and attempt
ed to take its food. The mastif looked at
it for a second, and then, as if it had con-
cluded that it was time to teach the impu-
dent little greyhound lesson, grabbed it
by the neck and gave it a little shake
When he dropped it, the greyhound lay
limp and lifeless. His neck had been bro
ken. Brag-that was the mastiff's name
looked at the dead dog as if sincerely
sorry for what he had done. He tried to
make him get up, and when the little
greyhound was taken off and buried he
went along and took great interest in the
proceedings.
"Seeing that the mastiff was much dis
turbed over what he had done, spoke to
him kindly, patted him on the head and
tried to cheer him up, supposing that he
would forget all about it in few minutes.
But was mistaken. The dog skunk away
and never returned. That was nearly
three years ago and I have never heard OF
the mastiff since. lean account for his &C
tons in no other way than that he was
overwhelmed with remOrse and Shame for
what he had done. "-Punxsutawney Spir-
