Poetizing About Dogs.
(MjnneapOlis Journal )

We have noticed of late several nooms on dogs. Dogs, it was sup posed, were going >out-they are germ -carriers and all that. Also one in 10000 gets the rabies. Besides, fussy persons can't abide them. But the verses indicate that dogs aret after all, rather popular-not only dogs of high degree or of approved erOtesuueneSs cOllieS or dachshundS, but also any sort of pup, purp, mon erel, whelp that has a grateful tail to wag. a whimsical ear to cock, com nanionable bark.
 These fugitive verses we have lately ceen have the same note that was struck by Matthew Arnold in his fa- nous noem, "Geist's Crave" that was sounded in that tale by the Ed1n- burgh doctor, "Rab and His. Friends, and by poor yOuida in '"The Dog of Flanders" Those little masterpieces bring tears. and these recent Verses Treashc g. tender grief.
 The trouble about dogs is that they die too soon. Their span of life is SC short compared to ours. So that every friendship a man has with a. dog Is bound to end in bereavement all too quickly. And the loss of a be- fONed QOS+ IS dll1lOSt cIS pcht Sro Ih'ebU of human being.
 If one likes dogs so well that one has a successont the last dog may bo as'"dear as the first; but there will be a last one, because the grief of losing such friends is too great to he borne, cannot be again invited. Bis marck, standing over his dogs graves could not be conhforted. And many a poor man, losing mere cur, has felt that he has. parted with ms only friend. ~t4 strange that to call a man n dog fc to insult him! Strange that a man who loves the dog should use its raSncs to heap opprobriums on an etNmy! Ourselves, we had rather ahswe the soul of that Belgian aoss oh ouida's story, his faith his loy- altv than the soul of one of Bel- gium'a oppressors. -------4-.---4.---,

The two years previous to the war saw approximately ton Caminetti now predicts that after the war influx from Europe will be unprecedented, even greater than some prognosticators have already figured. This, unless the vari- ous European countries place an en- bargo on emigration.
 In the ordinary scheme of things it is but natural for large numbers of Europeans to seek the shores of America. After the war there will be
