and an attendant approached the box
of a vivacious young woman whose
dog had been exercising his vocal tai
ents SO vigorously that the official an
nouncements could not be heard.
Pardon me, ma'am," he said, "but
you'll either have to keep your dog
quiet or take him out"
my dog!" she exclaimed with an
air Of surprise, as she deftly kept him
out Of sight behind her chair; you
must be mistaken. My dog has been
creating no disturbance"
Pardon me, ma'am," the attendant
persisted; "but heard something
bark. If it wasn't your dog, what
was it?"
The young woman favored him with
sweet smile
"Oh," she said, you must have
heard the tan-bark."

worry will not lessen It's sorrow but
simply weaken your power of meeting

1t is the opinion Of people who have
given the matter considerable thought
that worry is habit and one to which
womankind is especially prone. This
may be accounted for by the fact that
men are so busily occupied with i'm
portant happenings that incidents
which they deem trivial but over which
women wear their hearts away ore not
given a moments heed.
After all self-preservation is the first
