i The Boy and His Dog.
| Did you ever notice the attachment
that exists between the little boy, and
his dog? 1t makes no difference how
ugly the dog is, the boy thinks he is
beauty-his dog is the prettiest and
best dog that ever lived. The dog
follows him everywhere. and he loves
the boy even better than the boy
loves him. The dog would die for his
little master and playfeIlow. If the
boy goes away from home without
the dog, the boy will forget. for
while, about his dog. because new
| scenes are constantly meeting his
eyes; but the dog doesn't forget. He
may run about and play with other
| dogs, but he is. always on the look
| out for the boy. and when he comes

It is understood that the finance de- |
partment of Canada here has approved |
of a plan submitted by the Canadian
Bankers association to bar American
silver coins from circulating in this
country The work of collecting and |
deporting such money will be COM
menced Immediately by the banks.
1t is estimated that in the western
provinces of the Dominion at lease one
half of the silver in circulation is of
United States coinage. and the assist |
ance given to the government by the
banks in replacing American silver with
the silver coins of this country by
the increase in seigniorage, which is the
profit derived by the government on
bullion brought to the mint here to be
coined, is considerable. and, of course,
means a good thing for the country
although not to the banks themselves.
