Letter to Mr.. w. Metcalf, Mitchell
Mitchell. s., d.



Dear Sir: Clothing is just like
paint. 1t fits or it don't; it yea
or 1T don't; turns weather and water
or not and goes out OF fashion.
/ What do we wear cloth S loi? Did
you ever think of it? Different per-
sons have different reasons, no doubt,
but q paints Devoe for beauty, to
be in the fashion, and keep.out
water.
Fashion slys paint: we all paint.
There is beauty in paint; we paint
a good deal for that And buildings
are costly and fashionable; put on a
waterproof two or three coats Of
paint, and your buildings last as long
as you keep them dry. 1t costs Moth
ing to paint; 1T COSTS your buildings
not to.
Devoe is the paint that lasts;
disappointing paints. are the paints
that cost.
Yours truly.

A Faithful Terrier

He was not beautiful dog, but
what he lacked in looks he supplied
in sagacity. And before he had be-
come a six months member of our
household he had endeared himself
to us all, but more particularly to
my little sister, Ivy. For her he
would perform certain tricks, go
sundry errands and heed every
mandate to TOmp or lie still. She
was very fond of marguerites, and
taught Tich-for so she named the
terrier-to pluck them from where
they grew in thick clusters in the
garden.
But a sad blow befell us when
little Ivy died, and on none did it
seem to fall more heavily than on
Itch. He lost his exuberance of
spirits and grieved with an express
sion that was none the less real be-
cause it was mute. Sadly he logged
along by my side on summer even
ings, as he helped me to carry
some marguerites to place on Ivy's
grave. But one evening. when
called him to pluck his usual
flower, l received no answer, so |
went on my way alone. When |
arrived at the grave | noticed that
he had preceded me- you've come
then, Tich?" | gently exclaimed, as
| touched him. But he was beyond
the reach of my voice. He lay
there dead, and beside him his last
marguerite for Ivy.

A Collie's Reasoning

She attracted my attention first
by the manner in which she fawn-
ed upon me when passing the farm,
and became a veritable fury the
moment | reached the outskirts of
the wood, and made an attempt to
enter it. For days in succession
| tried it, but without result, and
resorted to strategy.
Locating the spot, made a wide
detour and entered the wood by a
path from the hilltop. For a time
| could find nothing; and then,
from beneath an Overhanging bank,
| learned the reason of the collie's
peculiar behavior, and a moment
later | was inspecting a litter Of
young cOllies. Later on | met the
farmer, and related what l had
seen.
"Oh," he returned with a smile,
she's knowing dog is Floss. You
see. sir, we couldn't do with more

"Pay Me for NV Work."

A few years ago | taught my lit
tie fox terrier to run up to my room
and bring me my slippers when told
to do so. | sent him as usual one
evening, and when he returned he
stood waiting for his reward; this
was a biscuit, which | used to place
on the mantelpiece every morning
ready for him at night; but. on this
particular evening | had to confess
that there were no biscuits.
The next night | said as usual.
"Golly, go and fetch my slippers. y
He looked at me with is1head on
one side, then put his tail between
his legs and skunk under the table.
In vain | threatened and at last
ordered him to go in the corner.
For minutes he stood there on
his hind legs, with his face to the
wall; then | released him. The next
night | gave him the command to
fetch my slipper as usual. He ran
to an armchair standing by the
fireplace, jumped into it, then stood
on his hind legs on the arm of the
chair, his forepaws resting on the
mantelpiece. In this position he
anXiOusly surveyed the surface.
Having satisfied himself that the
biscuit was there, he jumped down,
ran and fetched the slippers, and
received in acknowledgment of his
clevernesS a double reward.
