A GOOD FRIEND

or course, I'm only common
fyellow dog, and my home Is the
tstreet, my bed in some doorway
and my dining room a garbage can
at, someone's back door. But for
all that l have some mighty good
friends, and they aren't all such
tramps as l am, either. Several
are real aristocrats, with fancy col
lars and even sweaters and
blankets to keep them warm in
winter.
Bowlegged Bob, a big brindle
bulldog, is my chum. He's a bully
fighter and lives in house on the
avenue. Once in a while he sneaks
out when his master isn't looking
and we see the town together. He
always gets licked when he gets
home, but he says the fun we had
pays for it.
This morning was sleeping in
the back alley when a lot of kids
came there to play. They used to
be friends of mine. Today they
patted me and then tied a string
on my tail. l thought they We're
fixing me up like my aristocratic
friends who wear bows of ribbons
on their necks, SO l wagged my
tail to show them | appropriated
it. Then there was a bangy, jingly
sound and looking back l saw a tin
can beside me. Naturally | thought
| must have hit it, SO | walked
away from it, but it came too. |
vagged my tail and the can
bounced around. Maybe | didn' t
cock up my ears. The boys all
laughed and began to throw stones
to make me run. And | did. | ran
lickety cut for Bob's home with
that horrid old tin can humping
and banging behind me. hitting my
legs and hurting my feelings.
Just as | got there Bob and his
master were coming out. We dogs
talked the matter over, and his
master patted my head and united
the string. Well. Bob and | tore
| across the street, his master run
ming after us and whistling for
| Bob. but Bob just followed me, and
we ran up that allie yafter those
kids. Bob growing and showing his
fine big teeth, and | was barking
loud as | could.
They yelled, There comes cross
Bob" and maybe they didn't rum.
We chased one of the boys and
Bob was getting near enough to
hite him when his master caught
mp with us and making him stop
fastened chain on his collar.
He patted me and said we were
lust two playful pups. But | hope
he don't lick Bob this time, cause
he was only protecting me against
those mean, wicked boys.

turkey dressing with gusto. Con-

This thing of acting cutup by be-
ginning to eat celery at the top end
isn't good for a laugh any more.
It's done too much in banquet
scenes on the stage.
Help along conversation at the
meal, but don't ask how much the
spread cost.
If the cheese is old, don't whistle
to it. Treat it with veneratfon,
When your plate Is incumbered
with bones, do not toss them under
the table. The garbage can is in
the back yard.
After it is all over, get up with
out grooming audibly. even if the
effort be painful. Neither is it
