DislikeS Criticism.

The American detests to be criticised
unfavorably. F1attery and praise he will
swallow for a lifetime, but an adverse opin-
Ion rilcs him beyond forgiveness.
America has no inner life and no rest; no
art. and little literature worth the name.

flowers of civilization and cultivates rough
and-ready weeds in their place. 1t consid-

brings little or no honorable feeling. He is
impatient of steady and honest methods.
He would sooner make one dollar by trick
than earn a hundred by fair dealing.
Looked at dspassionately. the Amazing
American is more object for contempt
than admiration: of wonder than of exam
pie. The American is the quinteS-

GREAT TRICK DOG.
The Passing of Bobs Whose Accom-
 p1ishmente Were Most Varied.

me PHSSfnE OI BODS WnOSS AcCOh-
 p1ishmente Were Most Varied.
 Bobs, the most remarkable trick dog in private life, Is dead. She was owned and trained by the Misses Dorothy and Kathleen Martyr of 57O5 Cottage Grove avenue, but her name was q misnomer, for she was the devoted mother of large family of frolicsome puppies, but never allowed her mater nal responsibilities to interfere with her drawlng-room accomplishments. At the word of command she would put her paws on the blackboard of a little red wagon, gay with English and American flags and put it across the floor. She would spring up a ladder like a gallant fire ladde, and sit on a nice- | ly balanced stool at it's apex. She played she was the statue of Rhodes by gracefully poising herself between two chairs so wide apart that it tax ed her length of limb to the uttermost,
 ITO the moon, Bobs," and the obedi- ent Bobs would leap gayly through a hoop formed by her mistress out | stretched arms.
 Now back to earth" and the deed was done.
 With the lackadaisical air of lan- guid lady, she hung her paws over a pole and promenaded around the room with her adored mistress At the well come announcement, "Bobs. dinner is ready" she would hop into diminu- tive chair, and expectantly wait for the feast. She walked daintily through pools of water, jumped through a tam bourine and kissed her mistress by lap l ping her rosy cheek. She was an. expert ball player, catching the ball in her | strong white teeth, but hanging her head in an agony of shame when she muffed 1t.
 When the bandage was removed from her eyes for game of hide and seek, she used to yelp for joy, and hunted for the thing that was hid as men have hunted for Captain Kidd's treasure She was a London bridge by standing on three legs between two chairs and then leaping through her mistress arms She had al6 the common tricks of walking on her hind legs, shaking hands, whining for food, jumping over stick, retrieving, and barking for { tidbit.
 When her mistress said, Play dead dog!" Bobs would stretch herself out, 2 very limp and inanimate heap, on the floor, but at the cry of policeman" she was much alive, When she was tolt "Shut the door, Bobs,' she would stand on her hind paws and push 1t violently with the front paws. But at the com mand Slam the door, Bobs," she would ram her nose against it kick it witt her hind feet, throw her body agains it, and, if it were not securely closed it was not her fault.
 But the trick dearest to the heart 0 athletes was her wonderful vaulting. I was only necessary to say "On you mark" and Bobs toed a crack, "Sit, and Bobs was on her hind legs with ; look of expectancy in her beautiful brown eyes, "Go, and then something shot through the air like a bulle through Krupp gun, and dear ol, Bobs was over a high pole with lea, that would bring fame ts a high jump er.-Chicago News.
