will sleep on the clod ground,
where the wintry winds blow
and the snow drives fiercely, if
only he may be near his mas
ter's side. He will kiss the
wounds and sores that come in

of the world. He guards tie

Tribute to a Dog

One of the most eloquent
tributes ever paid to dog, was
delivered by Senator. Ves', of
Missouri. some years ago. He
was attending court in coun-
try town, aud while waiting for
the trial of a case in which he
was interested, was urged by
the attorneys in dog case to
help them. Evidence was in
troduced to show that the de.
PENDANT had shot the dog in
malice, while other evidence
went to show that the dog had
attacked defendant. Vest took
no part in the case, but after
being urged by the attorneys
to speak, he said: "Gentleme en-
of the jury: The best friend a
man has may turn against him
and become his enemy. The
son or daughter he has reared

cred action. The people who
are prone to fall on their knees
to do US honor when success is
with US, may be the first to
throw stones of malice, when
failure settles it's cloud upon

unselfsh friend that man has
