The egg has seven ages. too,
As mankind counts the years.

Then third, it starts to take on fat,
And if no worse betide.

Or else we see IL fried
Fourth age. the rapid rush of life
Has left II far from new,
So, slightly mixed and shaken Up,
The scramble greets the view.
And should it outliye all of these,

The climate was all right. What, then,

Dogs Always Honest.

double emotion. He can't growl and
wag his tail at the same time, for il is
impossible for him to be mad at one end
and glad at the other
If dog is glad to see his master lie
will bark and wag his tail If he wants
TO get into the house he will paw at the
door, whine and wag his tail, but they
are all symptoms of one and the same
emotion. But if his master opens the
door he will cease to show anxiety Iume-
diately by whining and will show pleas
ure only by the wagging of his tail,
In order to get mans temper one
must watch his eyes. but for a dogs you
have to watch his tail. The dog is like
wise incapable of deceit, and hence ne is
nothing of a politician. He deceiycS no
one, not even his master. If he is over
joyed every emotion is indicative Of that
fact, and his whole makeup gives ample
testimony to it. If he is displeasej or
angered it is the same way.
His oneness and fidelity under all cir
cumstances simply make him utterly iu-
capable of baseness and loyalty SlaO-

he loves you, and everything about him
indicates it, but if he hates you, he shows
