test from Towser, and this notwith
standing the fact that he is the pet
and pride of almost every one of the
pretty girls whom he would thus Sc
quester from masculine admiration.
The plumber, the electric light man,
and workmen of similar ilk must be
struggled into the premises the back
way if they would penetrate beyond
the lower front hallway of the big
building, and it would be bold caller,
indeed, who would dare defy Towser's
excited challenge, small and insigniti-
cant as the devoted dog appears.
Most of his 300 fair charges Towser
knows personally, and by most of
them he is held in affectionate regard,
despite his extreme attitude in regard
to beaux or gallants, and few, if any,
of them would admit him to be dog
of ordinary abilities or qualifications.
Toward children of the kindergarten,
including Miss Chandler, kinder
garten teacher who resides at the as
ISOLATION home, Towser shows strong
affections, although the pretty girls
of the home proper come first in his
regard.
That Towser's peculiar censorship
is entirely self-taught and self-consti
tuted, the residents and authorities of
the association home are unanimous
ly agreed. No slightest shade or de-
gree of suggestion or training taught
the odd fellow to keep men at dis
lance from the young lady inmates of
his chosen home. But the dog evident
ly realizes that with pretty girls to
look after it. behooves him to be ex-
traordinarily particular and watchful.
To this duty, as he sees it, Towser de-
votes himself with an admirable
faithfulness, devotion, and singleness
of heart.
Towser, says the Chicago Tribune, is
also remarka BILE because of his re-
ligious and social inclinations. He
attends the services in the Home
chapel almost every Sunday, and
never an entertainment takes place
within the home precincts but Towser
insists upon taking at least silent
part in the exercises of the occasion.
When, as sometimes occurs, he is
elected from the pla tform, his grief is
extreme and unremitting in its express
sion, but if allowed to remain his be-
havior, according to many of his
feminine charges, is dignified and ex
emplary almost beyond belief.
