Not Like Father.

An old Irishman who had made good
deal o: money. but who wasn't very par
ticular about his habits or conduct, lived
in Chicago. His custom was to 60 down
town about once a month on spree,
and then come back home and beat up
his family and break up the furniture.
His aged wife who had stood him for
many years, was blind. Finally he died
and his children gave him fine funeral.
They had plenty of money now that the
old man was dead. and so they spread
themselves. At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved in woe. She cried and
cried all through the services, paying
scant heed to what was going on until
the eulogy was pronounced. She listen
ed The priest referred 10 the dead man
in'glowing terms. After about ten min
utes of this the aged widow nudge her
son and whispered: Danny do they be
havin' two funerals here today"
The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1914-04-08
The Dogs Life of Devotion.

1t is deep mystery, this animal
world in which we live and of which we
are an integral part.
Since the dawn of history the dog has
distinguished himself for notable deeds
of courage, devotion, fidelity and affec-
ton. No other animal on earth is SC
fond Of a man and so loyal TO him.
The dogs life is given up TO the service
of his master whom he looks up to and
worships as if he regarded him deity.
The dog has religion in which his hu-
man master is his God. The only heaven
dog knows is welcome place in the
heart of him whom he delights to serve.
With that possession his happiness is
complete.
Human friends may prove deceitful,
false and treacherous. but the dog S
friendship is unfailing and enduring. Ill
is proof against all temptations. If ev-
cry other friend in the world turns ira.
tor to a man. his dog will stand by him
and refuse to turn him down" When
dire misfortune overtakes the master,
his dog is the one true friend who does
not desert him in his extremity, but
clings the closer to him. And at the
end, that last sad scene that come 10 ali
friends, home and family gone-the
loving and devoted companion of power
ty, want and rags, the ever-faiIhful and
loving dog, follows his masters lifeless
body to an unmarked grave, and there
prone upon cold, damp mound of clay,
he lays his head between his paws and
mourns requiem until he dies of grief.
The dogs sincere love, answering
devotion and rare fidelity have shone in
song and story since the. dawn of civili-
zation. There can be no reasonable
doubt that we share a common nature
and a comm fate with our mute fellow
creatures around US, which we are
pleased to call flower animals" and it
may be that our poor dumb relations
share a common destiny with US
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who
for nearly half century represented
the heart and brains of the Christian
clergy of America. in the course of an
eloquent sermon on "Men and Other
Animals" declared: s"Why, if horses
and dogs have not souls to be saved,
what in Heavens name will become of
their masters? For fidelity and devo-
tion, for love and loyalty, many a two
legged animal is far below the dog and
horse. Happy would it be for thousands
of people if they could stand at last be-
fore the judgment seat of Christ and
truthfully say, 4 have loved as truly,
have lived as decently as my dog And
yet we speak of the dog as being only a
brute. Our Dumb Animals.
