A SNAKE OF A MAN.
Written for the Journal.

Somebody poisoned my dog today
Though he never did anyone ill,
And So he is through with his canine
play
And his wagglety tail is still.
No more shall / walk in the fields
with him
Along at my side to jog,
And-I don't care if my eyes are dim
Somebody poisoned my dog!
He was homely, I know, as dog
could be,
And only mongrel, too;
But I loved the old fellow and ne
loved me,
AS people and dogs may do,
Nothing on earth could disturb his
trust,
Or his love and his faith befog,
And now he lies here at my feet, In
the dust
Somebody poisoned my dog!
He crawled to my side and licked my
hand,
And then with a gasp he died;
And-though some people can't un-
derstand-
1 patted his head-and cried!
For it isn't funny to lose friend
From off of this earthly cog,
And he was loyal unto the nd
Somebody poisoned my dog!
I wonder how anyone could have done
This poor little fellow harm;
But here he lies-his race is run
Though his body's still soft and
warm.
My life is lived on peaceful plan,
My pace is quiet jog,
Butt wish could find the snake OF
man
Who poisoned my little dog.

OBSERVATIONS.

January closed with a mildness
that was tearful-raining nearly
all day, Sunday, the 31st.
Toadstools are often taken for
mushrooms just as gall is frequent
ly mistaken for genius.
1t would be we'll for this world
to adopt the safety-frst plan OF
running its international affairs.
Is the fact that man is made OF
dust, the real reason why he wants
the earth?
Somebody said the reason the
earth is often designated as "she''
is because no one knows the age
thereof.
Although court procedure ir
Mexico doesn't require visitors re.
firing backward, yet it is regarded
as much safer.
