Our Pug.

i One cold day In January about seven years
ago, papa brought home a little puppy. We
named him Skip. The first night we had him
he cried for his mother, and during the night
mama had to get up and warm milk for him
and wrap him In a blanket We commenced
to train him and found he was very intelligent
in various ways. Thru patience and kindness we
have taught him almost every thing excepting
to talk. When he wants drink he comes
and scratches you to draw your attention to
him, and then runs to the place where we keep
the water pail. When he wants something to
eat he runs to the table and stands on his
hind feet and barks. We had a large arm
chair with a cushion in 1t for him to sleep In
last winter, but when warm weather came we
thought he did not need it. but he missed II
and cried until we gave 1t to him again. When
we sing in Skips he will also commence tt
sing. He is now years old and is fat and

It Pays.

10 Z dyO. \ ~
It pays to wear smiling face III;
And laugh our troubles down, X
For all our little trials wait
Our laughter or our frown. t
Beneath the magic of a smile,
Our doubts will fade away,
As melts the frost in early spring
Beneath the sunny ray.
It pays to make a worthy cause
By helping it our own;
To give the current Of our lives
A true and noble tone.
1t pays to comfort heavy hearts,
Oppressed with dull despair,
And leave in sorrow-darkened lines
A CLEAN Of brightness there.

dying out OF public interest in polyg-
amy In the United States, a large
amount OF missionary work is being
done throughout the country to keep
the sentiment on the subject alive.
They reach this conclusion because Of
the fact that every day as many as
half dozen Of their number have to
submit TO the House or TO the Senate
petitions from various organizations in
their districts and States praying for
the abolition Of polygamy in all the
