The Passing of "Sport."

sport" the favorite golden-haired
water spaniel which has been the con-
slant companion of the editor of the
News in office, lodge room, on the street,
in the hunt and on the drive, for the past
four years, is no more. "Wednesday
afternoon a flying freight train caught
him at the last crossing on c street near
the Tacoma Grain Cos warehouse, and
in the twinkling of an eye his body was
mangled almost beyond recognition. We
feel indeed as though something had
gone out of our life.
The best friend man has in the world
may turn against him and become his
enemy. His son or daughter that he has
reared with loving care may prove I'M
grateful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us: those whom we trust with
our happiness and our good name, may
become traitors to their faith. The
money that man has he may lose. 1t
flies away from him perhaps when he
needs it most. A mans reputation may
be sacrificed in a moment of ill-consid-
cred action. The people who are prone
to fall on their knees to do us honor
when success is with us may be the first
to cast the stone of malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads. The
one absolutely unselish friend that a
man can have in this world, the one that
never deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his
dog. A mans dog stands by him in
prosperity and in poverty, in health and
in sickness. He will sleep on the cold
ground when 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 wounds and sores that come
in encounter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his pau
per master as if he 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 journeys through
the heavens. If fate or fortune drives
the master forth, an outcast in the world,
friendless and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than that of &C
companying him to guard against his
enemies. And when the last scene of all
comes, and death takes the master in its
embrace and the body is laid away in
the cold ground, no matter if all other
friends pursue their way, there by the
graveside will the noble dog be found,
his head between his paws, his eyes sad,
but open in alert watchfulness, faithful
and tue even in death.
