The Immediate Duty.

The plain duty is the near duty. A
very common weakness keeps many
people from finding what is near them
interesting; they see that only on Its
paltry side. The distance, on the con-
trary, draws and fascinates them. In
this way a fabulous amount Of good
will is wasted. People burn with ardor
for humanity, for the public good, for
Fighting distant wrongs; they walk
through life, their eyes fixed on mar
velous sights along the horizon, tread
Ing meanwhile on the feet of passers-
by, or jostling them without being
aware of their existence. Strange IN
trinity, that keeps us from seeing our
fellows at our very doors Charles
Wagner.

aHuman Nature, Ia DOCS.

A real, full-bloeded English bulldog
has been In our family for seven years,
writes a newspaper contributor, and
as time goes on we find him more and
more human.
One Of his traits has amused us for
years. Sunny, as the dog has been
appropriately named, is very particu.
lar about his food. Real, old-fashiOned
dog biscuit is beneath his dignity.
When a bowl Of biscuit Is put down
for his supper he sniffs with disgust
and turns away.
But resting conveniently close at
hand Is a little papier-mache model OF
q bulldog that rejoices In the name q
F1do. All that we have to do In order
to bring Sunny back to his bowl is to
call "Here, Fido, Fidol" and to put
Fido In front Of the dinner. So long
as he feels that some other dog may
possibly get the food, Sunny will eat
every crumb, and with grunt of salts
faction nose F1do out Of the way. Is
not that precisely the nature OF some
humans?

venge in a spectacular, satisfying
manner
