FLOWERS OF APPRECIATION.

FIOWERS Or APPRECIATION.
There is no greater kindness in
this sad, glad old world than just
the kindness of appreciation sim
cerely expressed. Yet how misery
we are with it, much of the time!
And it costs so little to say the
few words of approval, of admira-
ton, of gratitude-so little, COM
pared with the amount of sweetness
and encouragement which those
same words carry.
If We only realized-you and l.
how many hungry breasts there arc,
all about us, we would not withhold
our gifts of money or food from the
saving of a starving body.
Yet there are souls, with whom
we come in contact, every day, who
are starving for the one little low
ing word Of appreciation which it
does not occur to us to give.
Appreciation is not only a COM
fort and joy. but it is a never fail
ing spur to tagging ambition.

sadder tragedy than that of the

Yes-there is one. And that Is
the tragedy of the mother, or wife,
the husband. or father, or friend
whose life of unselfish devotion IL
lived and goes out, "unloved. Union

Boomer" for 20 months a self-ap-
nointed guardian of the Northern Pa
cific railway crossing at Sprague
avenue and Division street, in the
eastern part of Spokane, where the
animal saved the lives of scores OF
adults and little children, is dead.
The noble animal was executed by the
poundmaster after biting street car
conductor. The dog, a tramp OF mon
grel origin, gained national renown
a year ago when it saved woman,
carrying a babe and leading child,
from death under the wheels of a
locomotive by tugging at her skirts
and dragging her out of harms way
Another event, which gained for 1t
the reputation of being the only un'
ion dog in town." was at the beginning
OF the switchmen's strike on the Hill
lines last December when Boomer
deserted the crossing because it's rail
road friends were not there to greet
him. Afterward, it is said, the animal
fell in with saloon loungers, who
taught it bad tricks, including biting
street car men when they approached
the crossing.
