On the Dog.

A small West Philadelphia boy may
be an author some day. He has just
finished his first essay. 1t is on a dog.
"a dog is a animule with four legs,
a tale and pants but he never changes
them. He wags his tale when he IS
glad and sits on it when he is sorry. A
dog is a useful animule because he
bites burglars but he is more trouble
than he is worth when he tracks mud
on the carpet. A bull dog is the king
of beests."
