example The beG@;t $ dog never looks
cheerful, never smiles, never frolics,
but simply sits by his master and

II have seen the dog character mold

dog became more cheerful. He was a
light hearted, free and easy sort of
creature and seemed to get something
Of the SUMMER side of things. l am al
most tempted to say that if you will
show me a mans dog | will tell you
what manner of man the owner is,
with particular reference to tempera-
ment and his moods. The melancholy
man. the man who grovels mentally
along the Gloomier groves, the peSsi-
mistc man who is always looking at
the dark side of the picture, all the men
who come within these unhappy classi-
fications rarely own a cheerful dog.
The dog unconsciously takes to the
ways of the master and in his moods
initiates the masters Way of thinking.
"Rut turn to the dog of the jolly,
teeth in laughter when the master ap-
preaches He is darting across the
ward and dancing and frishing around

FRANooPHOBIA.
COMMUNICATED

The Parisians take very little in
tevest in the disaster at St. Pierre =.
They are far more interested in a
set of automobile races, TO which
columns are devoted, while a few
paragraphs satisfy all curiosity
about the wiping out OF a French
colonial city, This is thoroughly
typical Of Paris.--Star.
The above is thoroughly typical
OF the Star Being conscious OF the
superiority OF his race the editor of
the evening paper entertains a pro-
found contempt for everything
Latin, and never misses an apportun-
ily to give vent to his feelings on
that respect. According to our
learned contemporary there is not
an ounce Of good in the Latin, may
he be Irish, French, Spanish, Portu-
guese, Italian or Greek. The Latin
is ignorant, dirty, uuscrupulous,
fanatic, uucivilzed, ungrateiul and
what not. Above him sitting on
throne OF self-consciousness and
vanity, is the Saxon.
The fact that in every part OF the
globe Latin civilization paved the
way to the Winchester armed Saxon
is net taken in consideration. The
fact that one OF the Latin countries,
France, has for centuries led the
world in promoting civilization, art,
literature, architecture, painting, in
disseminating through the brains of
her sons, germs of liberty and in de,
pendance are overlooked by the pre-
judiced and vain mind OF the above
named writer.

above quoted is in line with the
policy adopted by Star The state
