 A WISE DOG-SeveraI days ooo 9 little white curly haired dog. of affec- tiOnate disposition and evidently q ! family pet. came down town and wan dered around until she got herself lost 1 l Realizing that the only way she could ever get herself found again bv her 1 friends was through the publicity of the columns of The Republican. she came directly to this office. attached herself to the staff and made herself at home. having full faith and conf dence that her wants would be pro- vided for Thus far they have been and will continue to be until the right tul owner identifies his property. An nouncement is made not so much be- cause she is in the way as in the be- ! lief that some yOungSter. or perhaps a half dozen of them may be mourning the absence of q pet Evidently the dog belongs to some subscriber for she ] seems to be perfectly at home under , the shadow of The Republican and her sagacity in appreciating the value Of it's columns teaches a lesson that man
 kind in general should not forget.
