Truth.


A well fed dog, wearing a collar and
blanket once fell in with tramp ca
nine in the park. Dear me-" said the
fat dog, "but you are sight. You need
upholstering badly. Your bones project
through your skin and out into the am
bient atmosphere. Why is this tI1us?"
IT am often hungry, and am seldom
beautifully fed," said the tramp dog,
"and that is the reason my joints pro-
ject into the future like a reporters s,
pay day."
why do you not attach yourself to
some prosperous family" said the fat
dog, "and thus become sleek and fat,
like me?'
While they were speaking a dog
catcher came into view. The fat dog
soon had wire moose around his neck,
and he was unceremoniously thrown
into wagon where there We're other
unfortunate ours. The tramp dog, be-
in unburdened with flesh, lodged be-
tween passing bicycles and escaped.
I Moral: The fat dogs mistress re-
deemed him from the pound and that
fact destroys the moral.

Children Are Sane.

There is one disadvantage which Is IN

that is. that we have TO assume that
grownup people are representative. We
have even to go the length Of assuming
that grownup people are sane
When we talk about encOurag ing
health in children and discouraging NOR
bidity. when we talk OF such and such a
child being abnormal or interesting or
eeurotic or a genius, we are all the time
taking for granted that we ourselves
have have attained to what is profitable
and eternal in human nature. But there
IS al least something that may reason
ably be said upon the other side.
