When may one call himself an Ameri-
can by nationality, as distinct from citizen
ship? For example: Suppose son is born
in this country of German parents who
immigrated from the old country, is he a
German or American by nationality? If
not, suppose he were born in this country
of German parents who also were born in
this country, would he then be German or
American?
On first thought, we might be too ready
to grant that he is an American by nation

larity between these peoples. Therefore

A PAGAN Fashion.

The fashion of keeping little dogs
as objects of luxury is not at all mod

used to have small pet dogs, over
which they made as much fuss as

not ashamed to stroll about the Ro.
man streets carrying dogs in their
arms. 1t is said that Julius Caesar,
once seeing some men thus occupied,
sarcastically inquired of them IL the
women of their country had no chill

Two old Scots were going home one
night after a convivial session at a
public house. The affair was in the

Bobby Burns. Fearing trouble ahead
as the light in the distant cottage
window became apparent, Sandy said
to Donald:
Donald, I'll walk ahead of ye, and
We tell If I'm walking street anecht."
Donald watched Sandy carefully, and
then remarked:
SANDY, mon, ye're walkin' fine, but
who's chat drunken loafer with ye?"
