Makes Good Showing.

Isn't it bad to be ignored? Wher

moon. Bower was agreat big fa-
watch dog, and he, had a habit Of
going out after dark, sitting on hii
great fat launches, and barking al
the moon. What doyou suppose tht
noon did? Why itsimply ignored
Bower, and went on performing It's
functions, and has not varied ONE
iota from the path of duty.
