TAKES AN EVENING OFF

Togo is an astonishing dog living in Scituate, Mass where he is so well known and liked that they call him the of the town In the following passage Will Irwin describes how Togo spends hls Saturday evenings and how Sunday morning he went to church:
 Nothing short of a chain keep him away from any public function. When the ladies of this or that church give a sale, strawberry festVal. ar a lawn sociable Togo the first guest to ar rive the last to leave, and altogether the life or the party His own family is Catholic; but he himself sheds his broad tolerance even upon the IJnitarians Is there a dance anywhere on his beat9 At some time in the evening you to see him at the door, radiating delicate but ma jestic patronage the proceedings Enjoy your selves, my children" he seems to say Does the life-saving crew go out for thelr practce. Ioso will usually superintend the proceedings.
 Saturday night, when the Idle Hour Moving Picture theater offers a special program. when all three alleys the bowling parlor are running full blast when the soda fountains keep open until midnight when there is a dance at the library, when the farmers from Greenbush way and the mossers from the beach repair to the Harbor for a sociabe evening-that is Togo's time for periodl- cal canine debauch. Never by any chance may he be found at home after supper of Saturdays. He seems omnipresent at the Harbor. Drop into the bowling parlor; is in the corner, watching the game Repair to the moving picture show he IS there, too, visiting with the ticket seller in the office or watching the film from the back of the house By and by, sounds and yeps howls. parks and shouts arise from Front street; it is Togo again reducing a dog to the true respectful attitude, settling some old score. NOW sunday morning is different--althOugh Mrs ONeil was at some pains to teach him the difference. He nearly made scandal at the church before he learned that he must not follow Even yet, though he knows Saturday night and Sunday morning he has not mastered the church calendar to the extent o1 recognizing the fixed feasts On those occasions the ushers watch the door carefully to guard against the appearance of large orange-and- white dog searching in the pews for his family.

One of the men of the First Royal

ampton recently from South Africa,
was Private McDevet, who, though in
the prime OF life, has snow-white
hair.
He had a narrow escape from be-

in the mortuary to await burial. Two
hours later the sentry outside heard
knocking from within. He opened the

hair white. The sentry was driven
