When he was through the town school
Joe decided to run for mayor.
There were two other candidates. e1-

The girls canvassed the voters and
made strong plea for Joe. They told
the young men they would never
speak to them again if they did not
vote for Sullivan.
He got more votes than both the
other candidates.
Joe took over the reins or govern
ment and bids fair to guide it as sue
cessfuliy as he guides his goats. In
fifteen nainutes after he WAS sworn iD
he organized a cleanup crusade.
After two terms as mayor he says he
will go to a university, complete his
education and permanently enter poll

Look out for Joe Sullivan!
Why?
Because, with all his spectacular
methods. he is right inside. Here is his
creed:
Faith, prayer and perseverance will
never fail you if you are right. and you
are already failure if you are wrong"
1t is not mere moralizing to say that
a boy OF twenty whose creed thus
senses the dynamic power Of rightness
will go far in life.

very high order of intelligence in an
animal, of a power Of reasoning:
81 have pup aged ten months and
a dog four years old, both of which
live in the house and are great pets. A
short time ago my wife was ILL
Though the older dog, owing to his
quiet and sedate way, was allowed to
enter her room, the puppy was never
admitted. The nurse could always tell
which dog was at the door, because
the older dog gave one single and gen.
tie scratch and then remained quiet,
while. the puppy scratched violently
and frequently and whined. The pup
~ apparently could not understand
why she was not admitted and felt
her exclusion sorely. One day she
scratched furiously. as usual. No mo-
tice was taken. Presently she was
heard going .dop-fop' downstairs. In
q few minutes the single gentle scratch
Of the old dog was heard. The door
was opened, and there were both dogs.
Strange to say, from that time the
puppy SO Initiated the scratch Of the
other dog that 1t was impossible to tell
which was at the door. Undoubtedly
the puppy went and asked the old dog
to show her how he gained admission.
