HustIinl the PUPILS.

Most all nations condemn the Amer

many, France and England, boys and
girls are allowed at least two years
longer than here to learn the same
things, and thus what they learn is
not so easily forgotten.
The hard study required of Ameri.

The prophets predict that ere many

least three railroads across the Andes.

Amazon or its tributaries. The line
which now runs from Valparaiso to
Juncal is to be extended through a
long tunnel, which in five or ten years
will be finished, and it will connect
with an Argentine road at Mendoza.
The remarkable Central Peruvian
road. which rises 5000 feet in so miles
from its terminus and crosses the east

feet, will in no great time be ready to
carry passengers to the Ucayali river,

navigation for ocean going vessels.
And that place is 1000 miles from the

Where the cIoisters stand, those ruins
grand that our tyrant foes have
made;
And II strike the harp with mourn

For that dear Cd land, the sweet old

And ahi how blest and calm his rest

In that dear old land. that sweet old

And I'll sing of Tone and the Gerald

They won The crown-the martyrs
and they sleep in shade and rest;
In heavenly mould their names are
rolled-they died in manhood's
glow,
For that dear old land. that sweet old

And I'll sing of Ireland's ancient days
when her sires were kingly men,
Who led the chase, and the many

Whose only word was the shining

TOM WATSON AND The STRAY
DOG

After all the dog is but the tam
ed wolf. As long as you keep him
about you, he remains useful and. in
most cases, harmless. But the mo-
ment you allow him to roam at large,
night and day, he begins to lose his
dOmesticated character, and he grad
uaIly reyerts to wolfishness. 1t is the
stray dog that kills sheep. If he can
not find sheep to destroy, he will prey
upon geese, ducks, chickens or any
other fowl or animal that tempts his
wolfsh ferOcity. These stray dogs
frequently roam in packs and at night
are extremely fierce and dangerous.
To say nothing of loss of property,
these vagrant dogs are a serious men
ace to human life The fangs of one
of these creatures may communicate
hydrophobia at any time, and you
rarely know of your danger until you
are bit.
A man who owns a valuable dog
ought to keep il at home. The man
who allows his dog to roam anywhere
maintains a nuisance. He ought not
to blame anybody but himself when
such a dog is killed by some neighbOr
who feels that he has the right to pro-
tecU his premises.
If dogs are to be allowed to roam at
large, they should at least be muzzled.
1t ought to be a misdemeanor for the
citizen to willfully permit an unmuz-
zled dog to roam the whole neighbor-
hood night and day-fOr such a dog
is necessarily a menace to life and
property.
In the summer time even those dogs
which are kept at home by the own
ers should be muzzled. This is par
ticularly advisable in the case of Col
lies, Settlers AID thickhaired fee,
"Mongrels of lew degree" are espec-
tally dangerous and ought to be exter-

Possibly, YOU will think this an i'll
natured editorial-but wait until some
terrible case of hydrophobia comes
within your immediate knowledge, and
you'll think differently.
