Work With a Will.

We are not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts. We have certain work to do for our bread. and that is to be done strenuously; other work to do for our delight, and that Is to be done heartily: neither is to be done by halves or shifts. but with will, and what is not worth this effort is not to be done at all--John Ruskin.

When I was living in San Jose I
had two dogs, Carlo and Puppy. They

me by my aunt when they were pup

Carlo and Puppy would pull my lit
tie brother all around in a little wagon.
These dogs always kept very good
watch of my little brother.
When the mornings were cold Carlo
and Puppy would always wait at the
door for me to let them in. When 1
would let them in they were very happy
and when the sun came out l would
let them out again.
Every night the dogs would pull my
little brother down to the car and they
would stay there until my papa came
and then they would pull my little
brother home again.
Carlo and Puppy would always run
after the automobiles and one day
Puppy had one of his back legs run
over by an automobile. but we soon
had his leg in good condition again.
