DOGS FIT OF REMoRsE.
Big Mastin Kills q Little Greyhound
and Then Disappears, Never
to Return Again.

A gentleman from Indiana county,
who is absolutely reliable, related dog
story the other day which would seem
to indicate that a dog can suffer keen
remorse. ga few years age" he said.
81 owned fine, big mastiR, which ] had
reared from puppy hood, and who was
intelligent and faithful. He was ex-
tremely good-natured and seemed TO
exercise the most considerate care in
playing with children or smaller dogs,
not to hurt them.
ssWhen I had kept the mastin for
several years became the possessor
of delicate little Italian grey hound.
The mastiff treated him as one OF the
family and never abused him, but the
little greyhound considered himself a
dog of superior breed and too aristo-
cratic to associate with the mastiff.
He would snap and snarl at the mastiH
when he came near, and when the dogs
were fed the little greyhound would
attempt to drive the mastif away.
This continued for some time, until one
day, after the greyhound had eaten the
quantum of food thrown to it, it ran
up to the mastiff, snapped it on theleg,
and attempted to take its food. The
mastiff looked at it for second, and
then, as IL it had concluded that 1t was
time to teach the impudent little grey
hound lesson, grabbed it BY the neck
and gave it little shake. When he
dropped it the greyhound lay limp and
ifeless. His neck had been broken.
Brag, that was the mastfff'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 lit
tie greyhound was taken off and buried
he went along and took great interest
in the proceedings.
| Seeing that the mastif was much
disturbed over what he had done,
spoke TO him kindly, patted him on the
head and tried to cheer him up, suppos-
ing that he would forget all about j
| in few minutes. But was mistaken.
The dog skunk away and never re-
turned. That was nearly three years
ago and have never heard of the mas
tiff since. can account for his actions

TEN LITTLE SERVANTS.
ran little servants Johnny has,

Ten little servants Johnny has,
That know but to obey,
And to his slightest beck and call
They never answer nay,
And never argue or reply,
Nor vexing questions ask,
But with good and hearty will
Do their appointed task!
OF different size and different strength
Yet willing all and true,
And glad to give each other aid
In everything thssr Q.
Five on his right, FIVE on his left,
And each one has his pair,
Which matches him in size and form
Exactly to hair!
In every duty of the day
Each nobly bears his part,
At school or home, no matter where,
In labor or in art.
And Johnny never speaks his wish,
He only needs to think,
And straight these servants do his will
AS quick as you could wink!
And should these busy brothers work
A single deed of shame.
Not theirs the fault-you may be sure
That Johnny is to blame;
And SO are you in the same case
All children and all men
For who has fingers strong and well
Can count his servants teni

An Amusing new Game.

TO play the amusing game Of Spo-
tatoes" requires a basket of potatoes,
some large and some small, just as one
might expect to find them. They are
then laid in a line about foot apart
across the floor. One person at q time
kneels and walks along on his Or her
knees and tries with teaspoon to
gather up the potatoes again and put
them IN the basket. This is far more
difficult than It appears, and often the
most ludicrous accidents occur. The
Others follow ii turn, and a timekeepeT
has kept account Of the length ct time
each has spent trying to pick up the
potatoes. The one who gathers them
in the shortest time wins a prize. =

Managed husbands worth1ess.

Helen Watterson Moody believes that
the husband who can be managed is not
worth managing, and there is no better
principle, she adds, IN the Ladies'
Home Journal, .for both husband and
wife to adopt in adjusting themselves
to the new relation than that Of trying
to do each by the other what men are
accustomed to call the square thing
Many woman understands managing
husband better than she does doing
the square thing by him, and many q

the square thing by other men who
would be affronted If he were to be told
that, Judged by his own business stand-
ards, he habitually dealt unfairly with
his own wife.

The second layer was added to our
territorial pyramid.
Sixteen more years passed, and IN
1919, at a cost of $6,5o0,000s we pur-
chased eSpanish Florida possessions,
and added the third section OF 59,268
square miles to our growing pyramid.
Then came rest for 26 years. during
which time the older territory was be-
ing rapidly settled, whe1 another sec
ton of 376,133 square nis was ae-
uuired at a cost of $10,000,Go0 by the
annexation of the independent state OF
Texas, now known by that names to-
gether with portions of Kansas, Colo
rado, New Mexico, Oklahoma and In
dian territory.
This last acquisition soon led to
trouble with Mexico, which brought on
war. ending in peace under the treaty
of 1S48, under the treaty of 1848. by
which we gained 545,7s3 square miles OF
territory, embracing California, Ne
vada and Utah, with parts of Wyoming
| Colorado. Arizona and New Mexico.
For this we paid in money SIS, ,o00. 900.
There was left in dispute 1886 square
miles of land south of the Gila river,
now included in Arizona and New
Mexico, and IN consideration of $1o.-
600 900 Mexico ceded it to us by the
treaty Of 1858. A thin layer was added
to our territorial pyramid.
Then Il of the most important years
in the history Of our country passed
when, in 1867, by purchase from Russia
for 81, ,2oo, 900, we added to our territory
the large Alaskan block OF 577, 1896
square miles.
Thirty-one years Of non-expansior

came to us, and we gained a thin slice

money OF the Americans rule the city
socially In the beginning OF the tawen-
rieth century q While money rules less
in New Orleans than in any other city
of its size in the United States, still
certain amount is absolutely necessary
for d person to keep up the exterior 81
gentleman s position. Yet people OF
good family and very limited means dc
hold the best social positions, because
they have learned to give up the chaff
and spend their money on the wheat.
Again, people of no influence, ais New
Orleans counts it, but who have plenty
of money, tact and social qualifications,
can obtain and have obtained good
standing. Blood and money together
are good; money and refinement are
not specially favored condition, as are
the two others, for storming New Or
leans society; but any of the three
qualifications alone would have hard
time of it. Narrowing it down, it re-
mains that money alone cannot enter
New Orleans society to-day; refinement
alone cannot, but blood-welly 1t has

THE WAYS or MEN.


Some people do not like this world.
They sigh, they afe unhappy, and
Find things with few exceptions, here
To have been miserably planneds
The weather never suits them, they
Are always racked with sorrow,
And sigh for things of Yesterday,
Or dread things OF to-rnorroR
Some people find this world of ours
place of pure, serene delight;
10 them the weeds are fra grant flowers
And unto them all days are bright;
They wonder at the gifts that God
To men is ever giving;
They seem to live to spread abroad
The joyousness of living.
Nay, they are not the rich who smile,
Nor are they always poor who sigh;
Fhe servant oft is happier than
The master who in state goes by;
There's always cheer in plenty here
For those who care to take it; &
And the world Is gladtor bright or sad,
As each one tries to rnakeit.
