Certain Lines Of Conduct Which 1t
10 Asserted No Dog Dares
Overstep.

Every animal lover can tell numer-
GUS stories illustrating the devotion OF
animals to their human protectors.
Anecdotes Of one animal risking us
life to save another are rare, but still
suftlciently numerous and authentic to
leave no doubt as to the occasional ex-
istence of a deep love between ami
mails. But any close observer OF ma
ture will know that there exists
throughout the brute creation a sort
of rough moral system which. In the
case Of domestic animals. translates
itself into what really amounts to
code of etiquette.
The old proverb, THE dog with
bone has many friends" is nothing
else than a recognition Of canine eti-
quette. It does not matter how small
is the dog with the bone. 1t may be
a Pomeranian surrounded by mastiffs.
The mastiffs will still remain friendly.
They will hover round the Pomeran-
ian, perhaps whining for a morsel
(which Is never offered, and eagerly
picking up any splinter that may be
dropped, when nothing would be cas-
Ter than to bowl the little dog over
and seize the bone.
You will notice, further, that the lit
tie dog becomes filled with new
courage. presumably in the moral con-
seriousness Of the Justice Of his claim.
and will growl. and even snap at a
dog he otherwise fears II the latter
should come too close.
But the moment a dog drops his
bone a new rule of etiquette operates.
for it becomes the property of the
first dog who cares to pick it up. True,
dispute will sometimes arise as to
whether the bone has actually been
dropped within the meaning of the
act" But once this is clear the law
of the bone will be observed by all
save the exceptional "hooligan" dog.

The people of Bruges live very
much in their own narrow sphere and
let the world wag as it will They
do not care what the world is doing

OLD CITY IN DECAY.
Bruges, in Belgium, Once Great

nerclaI Observation-Disclosures
When Sea Cut or Town.

. Bruees, Belgium-At the beginning
-,s the fourteenth century Bruges was
a city of 200, 900 inhabitants. 1t was
not only the most important city In
Flanders, but next to Venice the
greatest trade center in the world.
Its harbor was filled with ships, and
its people were enormously wealthy.
Their homes were filled with every
LUXURY. Their churches and public
buildings we're beautiful. and the In
sides we're decorated with precious
pems. beautiful windows and exquisite
carvings.
Art fiourished as the town grew
richer, and 1t produced such painters
as Van Eyck and Hans Memlinc.
Then came an awful blight upon
the city. The twin, or chanenl.
which connected Bruges with the sea
became clogged up with sand ana
mud. At first 1t was only the larg-
est ships that could not get past, but
gradually the sand became so high
that it formed a bank across the
Irwin and Bruges was cut off from
the sea. And with the loss OF trade
the town became deserted. and fell
into decay. The people that remain
ed behind became SO poor that aims
houses had to be stationed through
out the city and 1t fell upon the
church to support them. Even to
this day out Of the $4,000 inhabitants
1t still retains, 1000 are paupers.
1t is a very sad old town and seems
to be in a dreamy slumber from
which even the gayest sunshine can
not awaken 1t. Its brilliant glory mas
