Whittier's Dog.

st. Nicholas.
During one the last birthday cele5ra-
tions OF tie poet Whittier, he was vis-
tied by q celebrated oratorio singer.
The lady was asked to sing, and, seat>
ing herself at the piano, she began the
beautiful ballad, "Robin Adair." She
had hardly begun before Mr.. Whit
tiers pet dog came into the room, and,
seating himself by her side, watched
her as If fascinated and listened with a
delight unusual in an animal. When
she had finished he came and put his
paw very gravely into her hand and
licked her cheek. "Robin takes that
as a tribute to himself said Mr..
Whittier. "He also is Robin Adair.' !"
The dog, hearing his own name, evil
dently considered that he was the hero
OF the song. From that moment, dur
ing the lady's visit, he was her devoted
attendant. He kept by her side when
she was indoors, and accompanie her
when she went to walk. When she
went away he carried her satchel in his
mouth to the gate, aud watched her
departure with every evi !ence OF dis

A Man ofeae Book.

John Wesley.
To candid, reasonable men, I am not

lnmost thoughts oi my heart. I have
thought, lam a creature of a day,
passing through life as an arrow pass
Ing through the air. / am spirit
come from God, and returning to God !:
just lowering over the great gulf; till
a few moments hence. am no more
seen drop into an Interchangeable eter-
nifty! I want to know one thing, the
way to heaven; how to land safe on
that happy shore. God himself hath
condescended to teach the way; for
this very end he came from heaven.
He hath written it down in book Oh
give me that book At any price,
give me that book of God I! I have it
here: here is knowledge enough for
me. Let me be a man OF one book.
Here then | am, tar. from the busy
ways of men. I sit down alone: only
God is here. In his presence I open,
read this book for this end, to find
the way to heaven. Is there doubt
concerning the meaning CT what l
read? Does anything appear dark or
Intricate? I lift up my heart to the
Father of lights. Lord, is it not thy
word, "1f any man lack wisdom, let
him ask of Goi?' Thou ''givest lib
orally and upbrai1est not" Thou
hast said, al any be willing to do thy
will, he shall know" / am willing to

ton and earnestness of which my mind
is capable And what I thus learn,

THE RAIN SONG OF THE ROBIN.

Kate Upson Clark.
Oh, the rain song OF the robin How
it thrills my heart to hear
The rain song of the robin in the sum
mer of the year
How I long for wings to join him where
his carol poureth free,
And for words to beg the secret of his
magic minstrelsy.
Does he sing because he revels in The
fury OF the storm?
In the thunder and the lightning does
he find hidden charm?
Or, with prophet eye enraptured, does
he see the darkness past,
And the beauty which shall blossom
when the clouds disperse at last?
When the rain on me descendeth, and
Thy clouds about me roll,
Grant, o God, the power of singing to
my tempest-stricken soul!
May 1 see Thy mercy shining far be-
yond the outer gloom
May / hear Thine angels chanting
May see Thy lilies bloom

LEGAL KNOWLEDGE.
It's Value to the Business Man.
BUT he NEEDS THE LAWYER.

| L. r. iii Advertising World.
Sometimes merchantsbuys Black
stone and enters upon the study Of law
/ # he can find time for such course
of study, it will prove profitable in q
gsnera! way, but if he expects thereby
t. escape lawyers fees, when involved
in trouble, he is treading on dangerous
ground.
| Without practical knowledge Of
the workings OF legal machinery, he
had better trust to the advice of a man
who makes law his business His legal
acquisitions may enable him to see
pitfalls into which, In blind simplicity,
he might otherwise stumble, but to
escape them he VIII need al expert
| sncad guide.
Law, IN its final reduction, has been
defined as common sense This
phrase may truly define its fundament-
al principles, but it fs hard te harmon
ize some Of the twists of legal procedure
with the scope Of such definition.
Besides, people do not always agree on
what may be considered a common
sense proposition. Men look at things
from different angles, and it does not
always pay to draw inferences as to
what is law in certain case from what
may seem its common sense aspect.
This is a frequent mistake Of the lay
man. A man Is usually more opTn-
donated and assertiye Of what he con-
siders his legal rights, before giving
the matter study, han-afterwards. He
finds so much of his fancied knowledge
shattered by the cold steel Of facts that
he begins to move cautiously. The
legally ignorant man often enters upon
undertakings IN which the number OF
possible legal complications would
make his head dizzy with anxiety if he
knew OF them. In fact a large num-
Der of business transactions leave in-
Vulnerable leop.holes for a tangle of
litigation. Reputation, financial stand
ing and friendship figure in many
business dsaEs .het would fall to the
ground il left to the advice OF an Ii t.
terney.
r. ger -a' hos ger. it would be
better if the busiress man knew his
ground, aud he would usually save
money by consulting an attorney be-
fore entering on new departures. His
own legal requirements should COM
pxise basic knowledge OF commercial
law. He should know the essentials OF
a good contract !; this would improve
his Judgment and give him better
under standing OF his rights and obliga-
tions. But the business man can not
keep posted on the mass ct court de-
cisions, handed down from day to day,
in which fine distinctions are drawn
still finer, and seeming variations arise
in apparently similar cases. It takes
too much time and the busy man can
better afford to pay someone else tor

Geo. T. Ange in Our Dumb Animals
A letter received calls pleasantly 10
mind little incident:
In 1913 entered as q sophomore |
Dartmouth College, and sometime after
was appointed to represent my class in
a discussion before one of the two large
college societies. Ny opponent OF the
junior class, a man by the name OF
Smith, thought be could make good
deal of fun 'ont of my name being
the first of that name in Dartmouth
Collegel. and with the aid of "M!lton's
Paradise Lost and otherwise, he did
succeed in making considerable fun at
my expense, although ! think the stu
dents considered it ~unfair-but he
wound up by saying that Tor an angel
he though. had accomplished very
little in the way OF argument. As l
rose to reply thought came and l
said: "Mr. President, ] ftec!y sdmit.
that I may not have accomplished all
/ should have been glad to II the Way
Of argument, bu. believe have &C
compiished. one thing that has never
been accomplished but once before in
the history OF the world-and that was
when an angel opened tho mouth OF
Balaam's ass" My reply brous hit great
applause-Smith obtained on The loot
ball ground the title of "Balaam"-
Go it, Balaam," etc, and it fell to my
lot some time afterwards to be elected
to preside over the meetings in the So
ciety above referred to.
