| Some facts which every lover Of dogs
should know are printed in Our -Four
footed Friends The writer Of the ar
ticle believes that nine dogs out Of ten
which their owners have to get rid OF
are simply the victims of careless or
unkind treatment. Overlooking and
lack Of exercise are the cause of ills
in the canine race as well as among
human beings.
Nothing is so certain to make dog
sullen or cross as claiming him up.
He suffers so much from confinement
that it inevitably changes his DISPOSE
ton. 1t is not only q wrong and a
cruel way to treat dog, but it is fool
ish, for a chained dog can be of no
service to his owner excepting to bark.
A tramp or burglar knows the dog
cannot reach him to harm him.
A chained dog is likely to bark AZ
a friend as well as at foe, or at a
dog running by or passing team. The
family gets used to his barking, and
no one is likely to get up in the night
and investigate every time the chained
dog barks.
A dog that is well treated and has
his freedom stays about the place and
guards it. OF course there are excep-
tramp dogs" we call them but
the family wanting a watch dog can
find one that will discriminate between
friend and foe, and strike terror to
the heart of eviI-doers by the very fact
that he is loose.
l have heard it said, and l believe II
TO be true, that burglars dread little
house dog inside the house more than
dog outside the house. as they have
ways of quieting the latter. A dog
that sleeps inside the barn is a greater
safeguard to the barn than one out
side aud chained up.
If dog is kept outside to guard
place he should not be chained, but
should have a goodsized, comfortable
dog house, facing south, raised at least
six inches from the ground, as other
wise the floor will be cold and damp,
and cause rheumatism. There should
be a bed of loose straw or excelsior,
frequently enough TO keep 1t
clean and dry, and always dish full
Of fresh, clean water.
A dog is a living, sensitive creature,
not a machine, yet he frequently gets
less careful attention than the machi-
merry men use 1t is seldom boy or
even a man will take as good care OF
his dog as he does of his bicycle or his
A chained dog is wretched, and nc
one has right to cause any creature

CHAPTER XVI.

II was after eleven when the Madame
de Stael regained the harbor. The cloud
burst had spent itself. Out from The
land rolled an unctuous smudge which
bore suggestions of the heinous impartial
ity of a great confagration. The harbor
was cluttered with wreckage, doom-pic-
ture for the eyes of the seamen. Dimly,
fitfully. through the pail, they saw The
ghosts of the shipping black hulls with
out helm OF hope. The Madame vented a
deep-toned roar, but no answer was re
turned-not a voice from the wreckage,
not the scream Of a gull. A sailor heaved
the lead. and the scathed steamer bored
into the rising heat.
Ahead was emptiness. The woman was
standing forward on the main deck. The
wind tunnelled through the smoke, and
she saw the hills shorn of her CRY. The
hope that the guns Of Pelae had been
turned seward was crushed with other
hopes. A cry was wrung from her breast
at last. The anchor chain was dropped,
and two men were bearing the brave
Negley down from the bridge. Macready
FASTENED to the woman's side.
Arrange to get a small boat, Denny.
We must go ashore" she commanded, re-
covering self-possession.
Macready felt that it was now time to
force matters.

claimed. II cud bake potato here, sure,
in the holla av my hand. What, thin,

He was staring in a smoke-stained face.
The purpose there was immovable as
granite. The voice that he heard made
him vince with fear, lest she should di'
rect upon him words such as had been
Pughs portion.
''Mr. Macready, get small boat ready
l am going ashore"
Sure, an I'll go wit you, ma'am," he
said hastily.
II did not think you would withhold
your aid from him, Denny. Make haste,
she added gently.

College athletics In America, the
| drift toward professionalism and the
progressively fewer members Of the
student body who interest themselves,
except as spectators. in athletics, have
occupied the attention of educationists
In this country for over a decade. Lat
terly there has been a wholesome ten
dency manifested TO eradicate this evil,
though the stigma is by no means re-
moved. 1t is interesting to note in this
connection what British scholar, res
ident for year in America, finds OBJ
jectionable In the American system. In
a long letter to the London Times he
has conveyed his impressions of stu
dent life and ideals here. He believes
that the decentralization resulting from
PROFESSIONALISM" is attributable to
three things First, that while the in
terest is general few students actually
take part In the athletic contests; sec
ond, that the members OF the athletic
team are often unequipped to benefit
by college work and achieve only ath-
letic distinction; and, third, that the
corruption in athletic sports fosters
general low standard of honor. These
are not new criticisms, of course, but
they are developed with more sharp
ness than is ordinarily found in Ameri-
can discussion. The writer thinks that
the system of hiring professional coach
es whose business 1t is to win for their
several colleges and thus increase their
prestige and attract students is largely
responsible for this condition. On that
point he says: Il have almost per-
suaded some American students to be-
lieve, but l do not believe that l have
succeeded In convincing one, that there
is no organized and systematic coach
ing of athletic teams in English univer
stiles such as is practiced In American
colleges, where professional trainers
ordinarily receive, for a few weeks
work, more than the best professors get
for a years academic service" He OBJ
jects that with the spirit of profession
alism intrenched the real purpose Of
athletics is overlooked and that the
training it is meant to give to the
whole student body is lost. The En-
glish observer, who is inclined to think
that athletics and outdoor sports are
one and the same, probably overlooks
the gymnasium exercise that is re-
quired in our colleges. Still there can
be no doubt but that the spirit of the
amateur which characterizes English
sport is the true spirit, and America is
ton Of this ideal. 1t will come with |
time

crocheted lace toward the lady Of the
house. 1t was in a New York home,
and there was possibly something in
congruous about the beautiful sur

seated on the floor in the midst of her
laces and embroideries. The incon2ru-

sympathetically, opening her purse.
"Ah, Syria is no more beautiful to

There we are-what you call it?-

she said. as she accepted the money for

Heretofore elections In Cuba have
been the signal for disorder and revo-
lutionary outbreaks. The recent cleo
lions were as peaceful as contest for
selectman In a New England town. The
new electoral law which provides for
non-partizan electoral boards was tried
for the first time, and 1t proved to be
a good political device. But the real
reason for the unprecedented good or
der of the elections is to be found In
the temper of the Cuban people. They
are learning, II not to govern them
selves, at least not to make a riot of
government, especially when American
troops are ready to suppress disorder.

Grant that dad" was as a rule a
chllds name for father; where Is the
dlsrespect in the use Of 1t by any son,
however old he may be? We have
often heard the word used when the
relations between father and son were
unusually tender, when the two were
close companions, when there was CON-
plete understanding and the strongest
love. There was a time In New Eng
land when a son addressed his father
in writing, Respected Sir" The father
was then Of the Roman order. There
was little thought Of any possible init
macy The son stood in awe of the
