Gel turned out to pasture and it was
ne ,ary to lead him to water. After
he hid been led several times it was
seen he never would be able to find his
way by himself.
Much to the surprise of his owner,
the dog, who has always been attach
ed to the horse, was noticed one day
walking in front of the horse leading
the way to the brook. He kept just in
front and out of the way of the hoofs
of the old horse and barked frequent
ly.
The dog waited until he had had his
fill of water and then led him back to
pasture. He does this three or four
times a day. When the old horse,
which went blind this spring, wants
a drink he whinnies, and Tom goes on
the jump for the pasture and attends to

A Fortunate Accident.

AS the Advanced First Year
Class of the Industrial Institute
came marching down the long hall
Thursday morning, rejoicing in
the exuberance of life's glowing
springtime. somebody route
stepped out of line and over
turned the pedestal on which
stood Venus of Milo, who, with
Winged Victory on the other
side, had been the graceful
guardian of the Institutes main
entrance. The glorious goddess
was smashed and there was
mourning on high Olympus. AT
first it was thought Mars would
take a mighty vengeance upon
the hapless mortal that thus
offended, but peaceful counsels
prevailed and it seemed other
wise to the gods. for soon the
worst turned the best.
It was the gallant Blake and
Normand and Laurents and Hlne
and Stein that were in that part
Of the column which had swerv.
ed by the right flank and caused
the disaster. Never would they
willingly have harmed a hair OF
Aphrodite's head; and with pro-
foundest pain and penitence
we're they overcome when they
perceived what mishap had be-
fallen. But alas for the perish
able plaster! That fairest mold
ed figure of human form divine
lies shattered. the ethereal ichor
flows from many a wound, and
quickly Ganymede, cup-bearer
Of Jove. and Hermes, fieet-foot
ed mes senger of the gods
descend to bear her quiverine
spirit to heavenly abodes on
high, there to dwell clothed in
celestial brightness, and to shine
as q morning star.
But the accidental destruction
Of. q valuable work of art adorn
ing the'school building presents
an issue and an opportunity; and
il is the manner in which the
Class Of 1910 has in this instanct
met the issue and seized the op
p0rtunity, which transforms thu

fortune into an actual blessing

other duties, he was very soon
surprised, in fact almost lmme-
diately. by being recalled to the
classroom and there Informed
that the Glass had subscribed
the entire amount and desired to
become the donors of this gift to
their school!
Such an outcome is it's own
commentary. The feeling that
the building or the school prop
erty belongs to the State or
parish or city, some cold I'M
personal entity with plenty OF
money, is altogether the wrong
impression for the pupils mind.

Therefore we will be more care

otherwise, and if we see someone
else about to do such injury we
will ask him not to do it.
