not to be cruel to an animal, but some
times we know thing so we'll that we
forget it. Some men have passed all
their lives lookin' for a big truth and
have overlooked all of the little ones.
just want to ask you this: What has
that dog got to look forward to except
to please you? In the one of your
voice he finds the color of life-dark
or light. When you frown it is cloudy
weather for him; when you smile it
doesn't make any difference to him
how the rain pours or how the snow
flies. He is ready to go with you. The
night can't be too dark nor the wind
too bitin'. When you want to go out
the most cheerful fire would be un-
comfortable for him. Talk about the
influence of man in his fam
lily! Talk about ownership! Why,
you own the dogs body and
he gladly makes you a present of
his soul The Bible teaches us to for
give, and in this the dog is more re-
ligious than man. You may say that
this comes through fear, but the dog
is not afraid to give his life for you;

in my life"
And / was goin' to add that the
man that would beat a dog would also
lie-if you give him the chance" said
the old man.
What, and you mean that you have
given me the chance?"
The companions began to laugh and
old Limuel quietly chuckled. We'll,
I'm liberal enough to give man al
most any sort of chance he may be
lookin' for. BY the way, what's your
business?'

Sell coal. Now that can be made
as honest a business as any in the
world. But don't you sometimes guess
at the weight of a TOM"
We'll, not exactly guess at it, I've

Then you guess at it; and did you
ever know one of those close guessers

SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
With Eczema-Her Limb Peeled and
Foot Was Raw-Thought Amputa-
tion Was Necessary-Believes
Life Saved by Cuticura.

II have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for a bad case of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,
but failed to cure it. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut off At
this time my leg was peeled from the
knee, my foot was like piece of raw
flesh, and l had to walk on crutches.
| bought a set of Cuticura Remedies
After the first two treatments the
swelling went down, and in two
months my leg was cured and the new
skin came on. The doctor was sur
prised and said that he would use
Cuticura for his own patients. Ihave
now been cured over seven years, and
but for the Cuticura Remedies I
might have lost my life. Mrs. ]. B.

A bird hunter, having become en-
ragged at his dog, seized him by the
collar, snatched up stick and ad-
2 ministered to him an unmerciful beat
ing. On the fence not far away sat
old Linn Jucklin, and he called to the
hunter: by the way, there, when you
get through with that dog, and if you
amt in too big a hurry to go some
where else, I'd like to say something
to you. / have an idea that it may do
you good"
II don't know that I've got any too
much time for you, old man." the hunt
er replied.
We'll, l didn't ask for too much
time. 1t won't take me long to tell you
what l think"
The hunter came slowly forward,
and at the same time two of his COM
panions, having overheard what had
been said, came out of the corn field
and, speaking pleasantly to the old
man, waited for him to proceed with
their friend The dog, true to the in
stincts of his generous race, came up
to renew his promises of eternal e.
deity.
What is it you want with me?" the
hunter inquired. LAS I said before,

"Ah, hah," replied the old man, but
you've got the time TO quit your busi-
ness whatever it may be and to come
over here and to hunt on my land
without ever havin' asked for the per
mission"
Il beg your pardon, sir; didn't
know this was your land
Yes, that's the trouble with such
fellers as you are-you never know.
However, l don't mind your huntin'

knew man who always paid his
debts, but who beat his wife. Honesty
and gentleness are not always com.
panions. But the cruelty that applies
to the dog seems to be different from
any other sort. When the dog sees
by your countenance or understands
from your voice that he has done
wrong he throws himself completely
on your mercy, and if in his struggles
to get away he should bite your hand.
the greatest favor you can grant him
is to permit him to lick the wound.
Just look at that dog now. No man
in the hot sun ever thirsted for water
more than he thirsts for a kind word
from you.
II was readin' in a book where an
old man says to a king: You can
| shorten all my days, but you can't
grant me one hour of life.' Over this
dog you've got more power than that.
for with a word you can kill his soul
or bring 1t to life. You may arguy
that dog hasn't got a soul, but when
man Is possessed in full degree of
the very qualities exhibited daily by
the average dog we speak of the de-
velopment of his soul. Dogs fight
over bone. Men fight over money.
A dog is deceitful in order that he
may be more pleasant in the eyes of
his master.
"a dog is the only thing that glori.
fes his slavery. A hoss works for
what he eats. He's always got his
mind on the stable. A dog works to
give pleasure to his master He Is the
only animal that enjoys a joke because
the man does. He studies a man so
close that he Is a mind reader. When
you get up of a mornin' he knows your
temper the moment he sets eyes on
you. Old man Cartwright out here
declared that his dog knew in mo-
ment when he had professed religion !;
and Cartwright told me, says he: The
dog quit chasin' rabbits on Sunday,
after this. He'd walk about the yard
as solemn as any presidin' elder you
ever saw, but the minute l cussed a
COW and lost my religion, one Sunday,
why the dog he jumped over the fence
and started out trackin' a rabbit
Well. make friends with your truest
! friend there, and go ahead"
The dog was listening The hunter
turned toward him and smiled. The
grateful animal leaped forward with
his eyes beaming, strove to embrace
his master. and then, with new spirit,
sprang over the fence to take up his
neglected work. "Old gentleman" said
the hunter, I'm not as bad fellow as
you think | am"
"Oh, guess you're all right, but you
are so bent on your own enjoyment
that you don't think enough of others,
and l want to say that dogs are
Others"
