FEELING
Towards Dogs Differs To A
Great Extent
(Philadelphia Ledger

Fisher Ames, not the revolutionary
hero, but one of his descendants, once
remarked to me that a dog is a better
friend than a human being For"
said he, "the dog will lie at your feet,
ready at any moment to respond to
your mood, while a human being will
go off in huff if you do not respond
to his mood"
Ames bred Airedale terriers and ex-
hibited them in Philadelphia, New
York and Boston, until he won a
championship for one Of them, and
then he lost interest in the subject.
His mood for dogs passed, but whenev-
er it returns the dogs will respond as
though he had not neglected them for
other amusements.
The Esquimaux have put Ames's S
remark into proverb based on long
experience in the Arctic wilds. They
say that "a mans best friend is his
dog, even better than his wife" The
Brahmin blood of New England and
the blubber-eating seal hunter Of the
North react in the same way when
brought up against the facts of life,
Men seem to be the same in all eli
mates, and we have the authority of
the Spanish for saying that dogs are
the same also, for their proverb-mak'
ers have concluded that Dogs have
| teeth in all countries"
AS one traces the proverbial com
ments on dogs through the concentrat
| ed wisdom of the nations, their simil
arity is most impressive. For exam
4, pie, the Latins told one another to
Beware of silent dog and still
waters" concluded that dumb dogs
and still waters are dangerous" and
characterized an insidious traducer as
"A dog that bites silently" The Rus
SLAMS, who were slightly influenced by
the Latin races, say that Dogs bark
| and the wind carries 1t away" but the
French, Spanish, Germans and English
who have inherited more than they
wish to acknowledge from ancient
Rome, all agree that Barking dogs
don't bite" and we have also In Eng
lish the warning to Have care of 6
silent dog and still water" which il
clearly free translation Of the Latir
original
The French tell us that There are
good dogs of all Sizes" but this ha!
not prevented them from discovering
that there are dog-haters who will stoI
at no villainy to satisfy their grudge
This, "A man who wants to drown hi
dog says it is mad" France is so neal
England that this saying crossed thu
channel and became acclimated II

animal lovers for one of their bes

ATToRNEY-GENERAL's OPINIONS

Attorney-General Caldwell holds on
inquiry from the states attorney of
Bon Homme county that chapter 259,
laws of 1913, means five miles in plain
language and not constructively. The
provision of the law prohibits the
licensing of a saloon within five miles
OF the corporate limits of a town
which has voted dry. The question
asked was how the five miles was to
be measured, in an air line or by usual
ly travelled routes, and the holding is
that it coVer an area of five miles in
an air line from the limits of such a
town in all directions; that any license
granted within this area is void and
of no effect, and any attempt to open
a saloon under any license granted in
violation of this provision is illegal
and it is the duty of the states attor-
ney to begin prosecution in any case.

suggested that we write a letter TO
