brute life OF no account that It We're
better to brush aside. II Is true that
he was only a common dog, without
pedigree or pride OF ancestry, pos
sessing no marks of either beauty OF
tigliness to distinguish him above his
fellows. But he loved and was loved,
and by reason of his sudden and un-
anticipated death hearts are sore, ana
tears are shed. and q place is vacant
in a home that is much indebted to
this humble brute friend For this
dog taught valuable lessons of pa
thence, and humility, and fidelit5, IN
a world where there Is much need OF
this teaching. A dog asks so little.
and in return gives so mucht He Is
content with only a little corner where
he may lie down and rest, few bones
now and them, and a kind word on oc-
casion. He never grumbles about his
fare or his bed, however meager they
may be, If with them go kindness and
affection. He endures discomfort and
neglect with exhaustless fortitude. In
return for what he receives a dog has
not much to give by way of recon-
pense save fidelity, but what he has
to give he lavishes abundantly, in I'M
stinted measure. All the loyalty and
is given freely to those whom he serves.
This affection is deeply rooted. indy
ing-so deeply rooted that it survives
mistreatment of almost every descrip-
ton. A man may lose all his human
friends. but his dog will remain faith
full, whatever may betide. Have you
not seen the lovelight in a dogs eyes
In his eyes you'll see just-love, love.
love.
And the love in their depths is true.
A dog has so many admirable quail
tiles that it would be no light under
taking to enumerate them all. He is
not difficult to live with, for he does
not criticse nor scold. He never mis-
understands nor is misunderstood. If
he has aches or pains, or Is moody, he
keeps his troubles to himself What
ever sort Of person a man may be. or
whatever he may do his dog is always
glad to see him when he comes home
at night. A dog never finds fault nor
complains. A dog knows his place,
if he has been well reared, and, being
without pride humility clothes him
like garment.
Altho unconscious of a future state
He never knew, like man. the sin Of
hate;
But looking with his searching eyes
above
He saw and learned the power of
grateful love.
Surely there Is something wrong
with the person who does not like
dog-something is lacking in his
makeup. He is not a regular human
being. For there never was anything
palmer under the sun than that the
dog was made to be mans friend.
The creature who would deliberately
and without cause murder one Of these
friendly and contiding animals Is at
least heartless. to use no harsher term.
The confession is made without
shame that the dog which went away
one day and never came back is sadly
missed. No more will the friendly rap
ping Of his tail on the floor welcome
the homecomer at evening. No more
will his friendly eyes reveal the wealth
OF affection that turks within their
depths. Peace to him, and happiness
in that haven which there must be
somewhere for all such as he departed
this life.

STATE MAY
GET FROM LAND BILL

The Appeal has repeatedly charg-
ed that the opposition to the Pittman
land grant bill has come from the
stockmen OF the state. That charge
has not been refuted by either the
stockmen. the Reno Journal the Reno

The Appeal reiterates that state
ment and challenges the Reno Jour
nal, the Reno Gazette, Sam Platt.

cesSfully disprove it.

the bill: Section of the bill reads:

that the land herein granted shall

notice and at not less than $1.25 per

than one-half million acres of said
