SCORED ONE ON HIS RIVAL
Brown Had Overlooked Leap YesR
and Jones Was Quick to Mark
the Point.

Irving Fletcher. the well-known ad-

ing mems dinner at Delmonico's n
New York: ~
"A good advertisement never lies
It never deceives. For 1t can only

pets and Broken Hearts.

The dog OF Mistral. the Provencal
poet, died the day after Mistral's re-
cent death. It is q fairly common
thing for dogs, cats. canaries and 9th.
er pets to die few days or even hours
after their masters. But do they die
Of grief? It is not likely
A Manayupk physician examined
the corpse Of canary that had sue
cVmbed with its little mistress. The
caIary's death. the examination
showed. was due not to a broken heart.
but to scarlet fever. the malady to
which its little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems 1t is surmised that pets. when
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
off-measles, diphtheria. typhoid. The
death-from-grief story is pretty. but
alas, Il won't wash.

A mother was urging her little SON

of a small comrade not well endowed
with worldly goods.
