A pnn,s DeNotion.

The strong attachment OF dogs to
human beings is sufficient in itself to
assure them place in the household.
Mrs. Sarah Bolton, in her book on
@The Dog" referring to the steadfast
faithfulness of all kinds of dogs, from
terrier to st. Bernard, mentions the
case of one found by Leland Stanford,
Jr., for whom the great university in
California is memorial"
One day, when Leland was about 10
years old, he heard great tumult in
the street and darted out of the house.
He came back covered with dust,
holding a homely yellow dog In his
arms. Before his mother could reach
him he had flown to the telephone
and summoned the doctor. Thinking
from the agonized tones of the boy
that some OF the family must be very
i'll, the doctor fastened to the house.
At first his professional dignity was
belittled at being confronted with
dusty, excited boy holding a dirty
mongrel with broken leg. But the
earnest. innocent face of the boy dis
armed him, and he took the boy and
the dog 10 veterinary surgeon, VINO
washed and dressed the dogs wounds
and then turned him over TO his new
master.
The boy took care of the dog until
1t recovered, and it repaid him with a
devotion that was touching,
When the boy died in Italy his body
was brought TO the marble tomb in
Palo Alto. The little yellow dog had
been waiting his masters return from
Europe. When he did not return, the
dog knew that something was wrong
and, after the body was placed in the
tomb, lay down in front OF the door
and could not be coaNed away even
for food One morning they found
him there dead, and buried him next
to his protector and friend.

making sure to have the screw come
in contact with the can.
Now. take a large spool aud cut in
halves. using one-half for the top and
the other for the bottom stay for the
zinc. These pieces should be dipped
IN melted candle greese. The top stay
should be glued to piece of wood,
which constitutes the cover.
Cut your wire gauze to the required
size which will make a cylinder,
which is to be tackled to the top and
bottom stays. This is for the purpose
of keeping the steel chips away from
the zinc and avoiding short circuit.

Next cut out some large poppy leaves

the leaves in position, make the back
neat by sewing another piece of black

then double the ribbon and sew the

just above the poppy to hang it up by.

BRUTES tanned BY DISTRESS

Would you believe that the nature
OF beasts is softened by distress and
suffering?" asked a man who has
spent most of his life in the Delta.
1T is fact More than once | have

Oh this assertion brought under my
very eyes. By our own feelings we
know that men, when a great ealam-
ity befalls a community, forget all
differences of race or creed and 60
into the rescue business with a whole
soul. Just in the same way animals
lose their savage natures, experience
change of feeling as to other ami
mails and become softened when
brought face to face with almost in
eyitable doom. 1t is a somewhat Curl
eus thing, but even when starvation
is one of the chief sufferings which
beset them they have been known to
refrain from feeding on weaker ami
mails, which under ordinary circum-
stances are their natural prey. Here
are some instances. In 1882, during
the food of that year, | had a good

hemmed up on ridge. I paid as
high as $50 a day for a flatboat to
ferry them out. This ridge was about
two miles long and 500 yards wide. 1t
is no exaggeration to say that some
sort of an animal occupied every ten
foot square of that space. Horses
hogs, cows, calves, wolves and rab
bits were so crowded on the ridge
that you could hardly walk for them

LAWS $500 YEARS OLD

The eomplexity of the law of mar
riage settlements point to a state of
civilization like that of modern so
ciety. Save in exceptional circum-
stances only one wife was legal.
Slavery existed but marriage between
slaves and free women was recog-
nized; and if the slaves wife lived
under the roof of his master, that
master acquired no rights over her or
her property. The issue of the mar
riage were apparently free, and en-
ioyed all rights Of citizens.
Adopted sons gained rights only to
personal property. Votaries or yestal
virgins were allowed to marry by dep
uty and had wives property rights.
So in Roman law a vestal virgin, in
order to enable the temple to receive
legacies. was assumed to have three
children.
This $500 year old code has an
elaborate law of agency and provis.
ions for labor regulations. but did not
recognize murder as a crime. 1t was
merely a question Of damage, payable
