THE LITTLE BROWN DOG.
HOW HE FOUND A NEW HOME AND THEN
WAS LOST.
WAS LOST.

On. Ioya,v morning in summer Mr.. and Mrs.
Rurdette drove to a city twelve miles from their
country house to take some guests 10 an cary
train and to do some shopping Their erra"us
done they returned to their carriage with tleii
purchases. and TO their surprise on the LroN'
seat sat n little brown dog. He might have been
made of iron he sat still. Only very Drlsht
pair of eyes showed any signs of life
He is so absurd and cunning. said Mrs'
Burdette: Tets take him home
Peter won't like it," said MIR. Burdette, but
I am willing"
The dog never moved during the first fe"
miles. They called him by every name they
could think OF. but he sat perfectly still Al
last they passed a row of small cottages ana
Mrs Burdette said Il intended TO stop TO see
if Micky was better" when. 10 and behold the
little brown dog wagged his short stub OF a
tail.
oh hor' said Mr. Burdette; ''Micky is the
name. Shake?" \ shaggy brown paw was
gravey raised and shaken. Then Micky re-
suned his look of stony Indifference. as if to
say: There. you know my name. now don
say any more about it,"
When they reached home he jumTed down
and followed Mrs. Burdette into the house. Civ
ing the reins to the man. MIR. Burdette followed
on to see what reception Peter would give the
newcomer
Now. Peter" said Mrs. Burdette to the bull
dog. who W; liked slowly out to meet them here
is frirnd for you. You must treat him
well"
Peter made hostile move. but the little
brown dog began to show his teeth and growi
"R-r-r-r-r," making Il great fuss. Peter calmly
Laid him on his back as if 10 say. Now. what
are you going to do about it," Micky waved
his paws in the air and Peter walked away to
his own corner, while the little brown dog looked
pleased, as if to say, Did you me beat:'
1t always the same, Mjcky was always
the under dog, but behaved as if he the
victor every time. He never showed affection
for any one and would disappear for days at a
time. IL Mrs. Burdette went out 70 visit
neghbor she often met him going in an op-
posite direction He never recognized her in
any way. and after all the family had retired
he would come and scratch at the door and. be
ing admitted. would march into his bed in the

seldom has anything better to do than to ex-
plain to rim.
James Henry's attention was attracted the
other day by little para graph which he saw
about a law against the shooting of pigeons
Not feeling quite clear to why a law against
shooting pigeons was any more needed than a
law against shooting anything else. he asked his
grandfather.
1t isn't a law yet" his grandfather said. '.but
a good many good people hope that it will be
soon. 1t is to he Il law, if the legislature up al
Albany makes it one, to prevent the use of live
pigeons for marks to shoot a In trials of marks
manship. Coed marksmen do not want to shoot
at targets, because targets keep still, and that
makes it too easy. They want a moving mark
ana they think that live bird is the best one
for the purpose l do not believe that it is
myself but they think so"
We'll, but. grandfather" said James Henry
''you are not a pigeon shooter, and they are and
don't you think they ought to know"
Yes" his grandfather answered, Il think that
they ought t. know, and hope that some time
they will know: but | think myself that clay
pigeons would do just as WELL and | will tell
you why l think So You know what clay
pigeons are They look little like buckwheat
cakes, and they are thrown into the air by a
spring, with motion good deal like that of a
bird when it starts to fly away. You have seen
them in Buffalo Bills show Now, about a year
ago there was a big shooting match down on
Long Island and they used live pigeons and
they killed thousands of them. This match was
won by man from Rhode Island, and there
they have a law against pigeon shooting such
hoping to have here. This man had
gained the most of his practice by shooting at
clay pigeons and yet he able to shoot better
than men from places where live pigeon shoot
ing is allowed. That makes think that a
learn craftsmanship if that is what
he really wants. without killing birds. How
does it look to you? And then again. the clay
pigeon is not quite so large the real pigeon
and l believe it takes little better marks
manshp to hit it, Well it this great match
a year ago which stirred up the people who do
not like to many beautiful birds slaugh-
tered just for fun to try to get law passed to
prevent IL. They failed last winter, but hope
that they will succeed this time; and if they
do not am sure that they will go on trying till
they do. And while We are talking about shoot

because he would lie down in its path He was
several times run over by the carriage because
he would not get out Of the way. But his in

all of us must do anything we can to prevent
cruelty. l think that the animals are to have a
better chance for life and happiness before long
than they have ever had. This plan of Ernest
Thompson Seton's is a good one and he says that
is it is working WELL then We are going to nave
this law about the pigeons; there is the Audu-
bon Society working to help all the birds; you
know there have been laws against cruelty In
general for long time. and the Society Tor the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has done a

well, read the rest of them when you get
time. He has some notions of his own about
animals and 1 think that they pretty good
notions. He is trying to induce hunters to make
pictures of animals, instead of trying to kill
them. He says that it is just exciting and
more dangerous-sinCe so many men are so fond
Of danger-and that it saves the animals. There
may be less good reasons for hunting
some animals. Some of them dangerous to
men or to our own domestic animals; others are
useful for food or for other purposes. But there

Sometimes he finds things which do not interest
him, because he does not understand them, and
sometimes he finds much about certain things

that they might interest him If he did under

the organization some white men,
relying on the belief that the
Roosevelt administration is sid

words, the primary object of the
new movement is to oppose the

however, declare that they do
not fear the new movement and
express the opinion that it will
be but flash in the pan.
