A SNAKE OF A MAN
Somebody poisoned my dog to-
day,
Though he never did anyone ill.
And so he is through with his
canine play
And his wagglety tail is still.
No more shall walk in the fields
with him
Along at my side to jog,
And don't care il my eyes are
Somebody poisoned my dog.
He was homely, l know, as a dog
could be,
And only a mongrel, too;
But loved him, and he loved me,
AS people and dogs may do.
Nothing on earth could disturb
MS trust
Or his love and his faith befog,
And now he lies here in the dust
Somebody poisoned my dog.
He crawled to my feet and licked
my hand,
And then with a gasp he died;
And-though some people can't
undersSnd-
I patted his head-and cried.
For it isn't funny to lose a friend
From off Of this earthly cog,
And he was loyal until the end
Somebody poisoned my dog.
l wonder how anyone could have
done
This poor little fellow harm;
But here he lies-his race is run
Though his body's still soft and
warm.
My life is lived on a peaceful plan,
My pace is a quiet jog,
But l wish l could find the
snake of a man
Who poisoned my little dog.

Dear Miss Grey: am
young girl of 20, and deeply
In love with young man
who recfprocates my love.
The other evening another
young man took me home
from friends house and on
the way put his arm around
me. In spite of my objec-
tions he insisted in keeping 1t
there. Do you think l ought
to tell the first young man?
Please answer as soon as pos
sible, as l would not like the
first one to hear of IL through
others, since he might lose his
respect for me. Thanking
you, i am WORRIED.
A.-Teil him IL you want to;
but IL is hard for me to believe
that any young man could keep his
arm around girl who does not
want him to. Girls are SO afraid
of hurting q mans feelings, or
raising a disturbance that they
are not emphatic enough. Your
case may have been an exception.
II so, simply tell the first young
man that you never again will
walk q step with the other man,
that you are disguised with the
way he acted. l would say moth
ing about it unless I'm a casual
way, and IL 1 were innocent the
first man could think what he
pleased. / wouldn't want to have
anything to do with n man who
could suspect me.

months ago and have not paid
me, saying my bedding was

the man, and ask the postmaster

man what he owes you, and that
IL he does not pay within certain
time you will send the bill to his
employer. Do you think you
