and his pup, mostly about the pup.
The pup was Tommy's understudy.
When Tommy was glad the pup re-
joiced rs to his tail. When Tommy
was sad il was mournful to note the
decorous grief Of the pup. In dispo-
sition they were twins. Tommy and
the pup; in every expedition com
rades.
All. the rare friendship Of boy and
q dog.
But n capricious fate separated the
pup from the boy forever. Tommy
disappears from the chronicle. Re
mains the pup.
A lost dog.

selfhood shows In him. He shifts Ut
the boys heels. The boy kicks at tie

Is q pariah-all the world against one
common, emery. disheartened yellow
pup.
But the moods Of dog are not long
moods.
A diversion appears A street arab
rolls a ball along the sidewalk toward
another arab. Hi" says the pup to
himself, heres something worth
while.' With haunting tail he bounds
after the ball. Every drop Of his
sporty dog blood is a-tingle.
The arab beats the dog in the race
for the ball and rolls 1t back. In q
jiffy the pup whirls and goes for It.
This is touch of high life. He is no
longer a thing Of the gutter--nobody's
dog. He Is dog full Of joy.
The children Of the school near by
are let loose. They stream down the
street. The pup leaves on leaping In
great curves after the ball and leaps
up to the children. He would lick
their faces In high friendship. One Of
the midgets is frightened, and then
the cry goes up:
Mad dog! Mad dogv'
The children fee. The pup barks
and jumps after them in great glee.
What fun for yellow pup! How
nice of the children to scamper so and
scream with delight!
Bang!
The policeman's wicked gun cracks.
and Tommy's pup is Of no more use
in this world-as a pup.
| The moral Of this tale?
Oh. any old thing--the lesson of
poor dog Tray. or life misunder-
stood, or the sting Of ingratitude. OF

Of these or others.
This II only a dog story.
HIS SO A DAY.
| A college graduate bewails the public
taste and laments his lack Of opportu
| nifty to use his education.
He says he has spent eight years II
preparation since he left the public
schools. but no one is seeking his serv
ices. At the same time he knows 1
young man who quit the common
schools In the sixth grade who make.
| $40 day by diving daily from a sixty
foot ladder into tank.
So? And does the college man thinl
somebody will hunt him up and bel
him to accept $40 day?
4 He faces a condition and not a the
DRY, for the world Of today is askinl
! Of q man not so much, What do 70,
know? but
What can you do?
The diver can do something. 81,
1 does not know SO much as the cole
gian, but he knows part Of the pub
lie likes to be thrilled. and he is abb,
to thrill 1t, though at imminent risk o.
his neck.
/ The collegian must have learnet
somewhere in his eight year cours,
that. other things being equal. a mar
IL paid according to the service b,
renders to his fellows.
What service can be render?
The diver can make his high jumI
better than another, and to that ex
tent he is a specialist.
Now, the advantage Of a college ed
ucation-over and above the persona
satisfaction Of it's in the sharpen
ing Of q mans mind so that he can d,
things better than the man who's
mind has not been so sharpened. Elst
why the time and money that is spent
The collegian with all his education
cannot perhaps make a successful higl
dive into q tank.
But there is something he can d.
and do better than the diver, Away
provided he Is not an educated fool.
Let him find out what he can do
and then let him begin where all, lit
crate or illiterate, must begin-at tn,
bottom.
When he has learned how to d.
something worth 81 day or so :
