TAre1nu The Tramp Deg Part ii
y A Story for Young Folks
(Copyrighted.)

Curley did not get any supper that
night and Mr.. Big Whiskers had de-
cIared that he should never spend an
other night in the house, so Billy Bow
legs had fixed Curley up box in tbs,
yard where he could sleep in comfort;
and later went sadly to bed thinking
how he should like to have the dog
for a companion: and Curley was
thinking of his new master and Won
dering If he could not sleep on the
bed with him. Curley waited and
watched, as it is the nature of dogs
to do, and some careless person left
the door of the house open and Cur
ley sneaked in and found his way up
to the attic and jumping upon the bed
him; but Billy did not dare speak
aloud to him for fear Curley's pres
ence would be discovered, and finally
he fell asleep with the dog beside
him.
Bills father has ciluclzled to
himself the whole evening thinking
over the prospect of driving that dog
away out of the yard so Billy would
never see him again, and when late
in the evening he went to the box
Billy had provided for Curley he was
surprised not to find the dog there.
He was pleased and went into the.
house, and later to bed, very much
satisfied to think that the dog had
disappeared There was Joy above
and below that night, for both Billy
and his Pa thought fortune had favor
ed them: but the revelations of the
morning bred trouble, and Billy Bow
legs was scolded and CurIey was
kicked breakfastless out of doors; but
he hung around for Billy to appear.
While BILL is tearfufiy eating his
breakfast and slyly putting part of
it in his jacket pocket for Curley. we
viii take the opportunity to say that
civilized man is the most brutal to
dogs. for way back in the past when
men and animals lived in caves the
dog and man formed a mutual rela-
tionship which was advantageous to
both, for the dog could scent animals
and aid man in following their tracks
and man could the better kill wild
game, and since the dog could live on
what the man threw away. and watch
| at night 10 keep providers and maraud
ers out by barking and awakening his
master, they were very warm friends.
and the master did not kick his dog
any more than an Arab kicks his
horse And they got along well to-
gether- and the dog learned to bark to
give warning of the approach of any

THE POLLUTION Or THE GREAT
lakes

communities are negligent of their
own welfare in various directions, but
in no one thing more than the obedi-
ence to sanitary law. The record il
that most American cities pollute the
water supply in their vicinity until
it produces disease and they are oblig-
ed to stop to preserve the lives OF the
people.
The great cities abutting the Great
lakes are .polluting them with sewage
until the matter has become of such
international Importance that Com
gresham Sulzer of New York has Of
fered in the lower house of congress q
resolution looking to the negotiating
of treaty between the United States
and Canada for the protection of the
Great lakes from Contamination by
sewage discharged into them. This
action is in line with the agitation
started months ago by the health au-
thorities of Chicago, involving coop
GRAFTON on the part of various Illinois,
Indiana and Wisconsin municipalities
to protect the waters of lower Lake
Michigan from pollution by sewage.
The Chicago News, referring to this
measure, says:
Chicago was originally the worst
ton At great expense it has diverted
its sewage from the lake by the con-
struction of the sanitary district canal,
with the result that deaths from ty-
phoid fever in this city have been
diminished to remarkable degree.
Complete immunity cannot be assured
the citizens. however, so long as other
communities on the shores Of the lake
continue to contaminate the lake water
by pouring sewage into it. Co-cpera-
tive action by many communities ly-
ing in different states Is necessary il
the desired results are to be brought
about.
BY treaty agreement ON the subject
between the United States and Cana
da, the purity of the water Of all five
of the Great lakes can be assured
This appears TO be the simplest and
most effective way of accomplishing
the desired results. Representative
Suffers resolution should receive the
approval of congress-

The yellow warbler is the only one
of his family that stays with us in any
numbers during the summer. Never
was a bird better named, for he is
yellow all over with brewnish wings
and tail and chestnut streaks on the
breast. The nest is built in bushes or
low trees, and is as soft a cradle as a
baby bird could need-Tnade of grasses
