Dear Little DOggie
He Brings Diseases to the Children and Fatters Mems
Vanity.

Around Indian tepee you may find THIRTY dogs
bowling.
Around miserable cabin in unenlightened part
of the country you will find eight dogs-children
half fed and barely clothed at all
Many of the less civilized human beings have
ONE DOG possibly two or three
All human beings will be more civilized when the dog
shall have disappeared ENTIRELY.
This hurts the feelings Of good men and women
Too bad, but it cannot be helped.
An animal that spreads disease that has in many cases
demorazng effect upon children that atters the meanest
vanity in men, that greatly increases the cost of living
by making profitable raising of sheep impossible ami
NAL that should disappear.
Those that praise the dog and his faithfuness most
cheeruy nearly always demonstrate before they finish that
dogs out of place.
For instance that very brilliant writer, Winifred Black
represents dear Fd standing faithfully beside the cradle
of child The dog is supposed to say:

of the basket, I'd like to lay my head against it,

baby puts its hand the edge of the crib Faithful Fdo
leans his head against the hand and ticks it with his afec

T WAS listening to an animated
discussion on the comparative
honesty Of men and women,
when some one scattered the
back-and-forth argument by telling
this little story, which / imme-
diately jotted down.
He had gotten it from an ae-
quaintance who was an expert ae-
countant. The latter had been
called upon by a client Of his who
was m \ much rerturbed state,
and these were the reasons he
gave for his anxiety:
81 am doing a very large bust
ness. Ny prices are regulated on
a careful calculation Of cost fig
ures, including Overhead and all
other charges. l am having no
trouble with collections; waste is
practically eliminated from my
establishment. Ny force has been
with me a long time and is above
suspicion. And yet, in spite of the
fact that my personal supervision
is very close, my business fails to
show the returns that it should.
There is a bio leak somewhere,
and am half crazy trying to find
it. Now l am going to put it up
to you"
The accountant made some in
quiries about the conduct of af-
fairs, and learned that the book
keeper was a young woman who
had held her position for a number
of years and had proved most
trustworthy. He then asked that
the girl should not be informed
that an investigation was in prog
ress, and arranged to look over
her books while she was out at
luncheon.
For a fortnight he spent the
noontime in pouring over her
ledgers and comparing entries, but
at the end of that time he was as
completely in the dark as ever.
He was sitting in the Office one
noon wondering what steps to
take next, when suddenly the tele-
phone on the bookkeeper's desk
rang at his elbow.
His Cautious Inquiry For Elsie
Clue to Mystery.
He picked up the instrument
and answered. as Elsie there ?"
inquired a mans voice. Elsie was
the name of the girl bookkeeper.
The accountant was just about
to say that she had gone out to
lunch when an idea struck him.
He beckoned to a girl who was
tipping some letters on the other
side of the room.
Here, take this Phone" he
whispered, "and pretend that you
are Elsie. Find out what this
man wants."

resist the temptation to try it.
So she discreetly sounded the
cashiers of the various houses with
which her employer did business
until she finally picked on Fred as
her most likely confederate. Then,
by exercising her personal faseina-
tons, she persuaded him to take
part in the scheme.
On the strength Of her revela-
tons, and considering him more a
dupe than a crook, Fred's firm
consented to give him another
chance. Elsie's employer also
very mushily, SO the accountant
considered-let her go scotfree on
the restitution of the greater part
Of the stolen money, although, Of
course, he discharged her.
Here's Its Bearing on Relative
Honesty of Two Sexes.
"And what became Of her after
ward ?" some one asked curiously.
"And what bearing has all this
on the relative dishonesty Of men
and women" soma one else broke
in.
Gust wait a minute" the "a
contour replied. at all came out
later that it was really Fred who
concocted the ingenious scheme Of
robbery. Elsie was engaged to
marry him. He vas short in his
accounts, and, devising this meth
cd Of raising money to square up,
he appealed to her to help him.
Then when his shortage was made
up, neither of them was strong
enough to relinquish this easy sys-
TEN Of obtaining wealth.
Nevertheless, when the expos
ure came, she shielded him and
shouldered all the blame herself.
Not only that, but she worked
afterward until she had personally
repaid all the stolen money not
covered by the restitution they had
been forced to make at the time Of
their discovery.
ITO my mind it is a typical in
stance" the story-teller conclud-
ed. "The woman here was not
only the more honest of the two,
but she showed a loyalty and de-
votion that"
"Oh, you can't prove anything
by a single case" he was promptly
interrupted. Individual examples
amount to very little one way or
another as establishing the
strength or weakness of an argu-
ment. In spite of Elsie, I still
maintain that men are instructive
ly more honest than women. One
swallow doesn't make a summer,
you know"
NO." it was woman who en-
tered the conversation this time:
zone swallow doesn't make a sum-
mer. But straws do show the way
the wind blows"

At any rate, the matter seemed

Elsie and Fred, by working in col
fusion, had been collecting the
weekly discount from one house,
and, withholding it from the other,
had put it into their own pockets.
In this way they had managed to
salt down several thousand dollars,
and if it had not been for the incl
dent of the telephone they might
have gone on indefinitely without
detection.
When the two were asked for
an explanation, Elsie insisted, and
apparently proved, that the re-
sponsibility was entirely hers. She
