recent addresses in this city. Her ad-
dresses here were worth their weight in

children before they were born and after;
the more they come into contact with
the world the more intense will my

today, whose hearts beat Just as warmly
for their children as my heart beats for
mine. And then let us in unison brave

glorious victory For tie mistakes we
have made in the past, in bringing up

The Faithful Dog

The agitation of the dog question be-
fore the legislature last winter has
brought out the following, 1t is attrih-
uted TO Senator Vest of Missouri. and
was delivered during law suit over the
killing of dog. 1t is needless TO say
that he won his case:
The one absolutely unselfish friend
that man can have in this selfish world
the one that never deserts him is his
dog A mans dog stands by him in
prosperity and poverty, in health and
sickness. He win sleep on the cold
ground, where the wintry winds blow
and the snow drives fiercely, if only he
may be near his masters side. He will
kiss the hand that has no food to offer.
He will lick the woands and sores that
come in encounter with the world. He
guards the sleep of his pauper master
rs If that pauper were prince. When
all other friends desert, he remains.
When riches take wings and reputation
falls TO pieces he is as constant in his
love as the sun in its journey through
the heavens. II fortune drives its mas.
ter fourth an outcast in the world.
friendless and homeless the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than that of
accompanying him to guard against
danger, to fight against enemies And
when the last scene of all comes and
death takes bis master in it's embrace,
and his body is laid away in the cold
ground, no matter il all other friends
pursue their way, there by the grave
side will the noble dog be found his
head between his paws his eyes SAD
but open in alert watchfulness, faithful
and true even in death "
