"Messrs. Ousley and Williams in

DOG SHOULD PICK A GOOD
BOY AND STICK TO HIM

In the July American Magazine,
Don Marquis writes a dog story en-
titled Dogs and Boys" an extract
from which follows:
IF you are dog of any sense,
you will pick you out pretty good
sort of a boy and stick to him.
These dogs that are always adopt
ing one boy after another get a
bad name among the humans in the
end. And you'd better keep in with
the humans, especially the grown-up
ones. Getting your scraps off a
plate at the back door two or three
times a day beats hunting rabbits
and ground-squirrels for living.
what a dog wants is boy any
where from about nine to about
sixteen years old. A boy under
nine hasn't enough sense. as a rule,
to be any company for an intelli-
gent dog. And along about sixteen
they begin to dress up and try to
run with the girls, and carry on in
a way to make dog tired. There
are exceptions of course-one of
the worst mistakes some dogs make
is to suppose that all boys are alike.
That isn't true; you'll find just as
much individuality among boys as
there is among us dogs. II you're
patient enough to look for 1t and
have a knack for making friends
with animals. But you must re-
member to be kind to a boy II
you're going to teach him anything;
and you must be careful not to
frighteh him."
