THE DOG NuRsEp THE CAT
extraordinary Instance Of Amicabili-
ty Between Two Animals
Enemies by Nature.

Tks ::Sllowing interesting incident oi
the establishment OF friendly relations
between a cat and dog occurred just as
It Is related. There are a number OF
credible witnesses, still living. who can
vouch for its authenticity. says Youths
Companion.
Several years ago in small village
In central Ohio lived widow and her
family OF three small children. Among
the few possessions OF this family were
q small dog and cat The dog was a
general favorite in the neighborhood
but the cat was as generally disiiked.
especially by the older people. because
OF her fondness for young chickens Fre-
quent and earnest were the threats OF
vengeance for her depredations
The dog. whose name was Spry. shared
In full measure the dislike OF the neigh
bors for the cat. and every meal-time
was battle-time as well between him and
his fellow lolger They could never be
taught to eat together or at the same
time without nghting, until at length
misfortune overlook pussy.
One night when she was out on one OF
her forays, she got one OF her legs fast
In a steel trap, The bone was broken
so that when she returned home the
next day the leg was hanging limp and
useless. The cat betook herself TO her
tayorlte retreat under the house, which
she reached through hole In the foun-
dation.
Al noontime. when spry was fed.
pussy came out for her portion, and since
she was unable to defend herself with
her accustomed vigor. spry easily sized
her By the nape OF the neck and carried
her back under the house He then re-
turned to his plate. and choosing some
OF the dalntiest pieces and those which
be himself no doubt liked best he car
ried them under the house and gave
them 70 the cat, until pussy's appetite
was satisfied. spry then came back and
ate the remainder himself
This performance was repeated three
times a day till the cat recovered. except
that after two or three days puss ceased
10 come out. although spry never for
GOT 70 feed her on the best feed he hal
After the recovery of puss the two
never again quarreled but to the DAY
CT lis death spry would not permit an
other cat 70 stay round the house.

ATTRACTIVE MANNERS.
Erankness Wins While secretivsasss
Repels the Advances sf
Acquaintanees.

There is no more dell htful trait in
the young or the old than ahsolutc
frankness and openness Of nature. that
transparency OF character which lets as
zee the best and the worst In them,
their strong and their weak points,
without any effort At concealment, says
orison SWEET Marden. In Success.
Everybody admires the opea-hsarte&s
the people who have nothing to conceal.
and who do not try to cover up their
faults and weaknesses. They are. as a
rule. large-hcarted and magnanimoua
They inspire love and confidence. and.
by their very frankness and simplicity.
invite the same qualities in Others.
Secretiveness repels az much as
frankness attracts. There is something
about the very inclination to conceal
or cover up which arouses suspicion and
distrst We cannot have the same con-
fidence In people who possess this trait,
no matter how good they may ssem 20
be. ~ In frank, sunny natures. Dealing
with these secrctive people Is like trav-
There Is always feeling OF uncertainty.
We may come out all right, but there is
q lurking fear OF some pitfalf or un-
known danger ahead OF us. We are
uncomfortable because OF the uncertain
ties They may be all right. and may
deal squarely with us. but the trouble is
that we are not sure. and cannot trust
them. No matter how polite OF gracious
a secretive person may be. we can never
rid ourselves ot the feeling that there r.
a motive behind his graciousnass. and
that he has an ulterior purpose in view.
Hs is always moro or less of an enigma.
because he goes through life wearing a
mask He endeavors TO hide every trait
that is not favorable 10 himself. Never
II he can help II, do we get a glimpse OF
the real man.
How different the man who comes out
In the open, has no secrets, who reveals
his heart 10 as. and who Is frank. bread
and liberal How quickly be wins our
confidence! How we all love and trust
him. We forgive HIN for many a slip
or weakness. because he Is always ready
20 confess his faults. and 10 make amends
for them II he has bad qualities. they
are always in sight and we are ready TO
make allowances for them. His heart
is sound and true his sympathies are
broad and active. The very qualities he
