Don That Saved HIs Master.

must write you just one story that
came to me at the ambulance just be-
fore Christmas. even though 1t is q
little late. We had a French soldier
brought In frightfully wounded. He
came from the region around st. Mi
hiel. One leg had to be amputated.
and, besides that, he had half a dozen
other wounds. His dog came with
him-a hunting dog of some kind. The
dog had saved his masters life. They
were in the trenches together, when a
shell burst in such a way as to col
lapse the whole trench. Everyone In
1t was killed or buried in the collapse,
and this dog dug and dug until he got
his masters face free, SO that he
could breathe, and then he sat by him
until some re-enforcements came and
dug them all out. Everyone was dead
but this man.
Isn't that a beautiful little story?
We have both the dog and the man
with US. The dog has little house
all to himself in the court, and he has
blankets and lots of petting, and ey-
cry day he is allowed to be with mis-
master for little while.---Letter from
DR.. Mary Merritt Crawford, in Paris,

oner's counsel, a big, bullying sort
of chap, evidently thought he had

man entered the witness box.
Having described the events prior
to the burglars capture, Smithson

OF which Mr. Taft is a member, did
not find the choice an easy one. there
being a number of possibilities from

original work In physiology, biology
and zoology In these terms:
His knowledge OF biology and his
critical ability are of an unusually
high and lofty order. In the work that
he devotes to Howard university he ID
actuated by very high motives. since
the remuneration he receives Is only a
fraction OF his nominal salary. He
could easily increase his income by
giving up his position. Professor Juet
has sacrificed a good deal for the adj
yancement OF medical schools for col
ored people, and he will do good deal

weakness of the race In Its struggle

That this Is now a rapidly passing
condition there are plenty OF instances
besides this one of Professor Just TO
prove. Indeed, the support given to
the National Association for the Adj
yancement OF colored People, In whose
hands Professor SpIngarn has placed
the award of the medal. is a re-
markable case In point That or

there are things more fundamental
than even these which must be taught

homes where the use OF water for
cleansing purposes has never been

quickly they come to realize the value
OF this lesson. and the pride with
which daily soap-scrubbed faces shine

selfrespect gained by the simple
