large dams will be constructed to

that the first logs will be driven

from Boise. I'm an interview

stated that the house of repre-
sentatives of the i4th session Of
the legislature of Idaho, which
recently closed, was the cleanest,
best organized and most efficient
that has been congregated at the
capitol in many years.
He gave great praise to its
speaker, Representative Alfred,
who seemed to be scrupulously
honest and just to all in the ses-
sion, giving as much considera-
ton to the rights of Republicans
as we'll as Democrats. Mr..
Lewis stated that during the early
part of the session there seemed
to be but few arduOus duties to
be performed but when the work
opened up it was early and late,
constantly sticking to the work.
Mr.. Lewis was chairman of the
committees Of Towns, Cities and
municipalities and Highways and
Drainage and served on the Fish

the Sitting committees.

into contact with the sick. No doubt
there are times when II is dangerous
for children to play with dogs, as at
times II is dangerous for them to 60
to Sunday-school, where some infes-
tious malady might be contracted.
Our lives are beset with perils on
every hand. We must take our
chances, or rob life of its finest
pleasures by shutting ourselves away
from all such associations as might
possibly threaten our precious
health.
Only those who have known the
rich, abiding friendship of a dog can
appreciate what this relationship has
meant, and means, to ten thousand
times ten thousand men and women.
The companionship that has relieved
the otherwise utter loneliness of
many a life, that has answered the
hunger of many n heart for affection
and coRfidence---banish this from the
world aud you blot out wealth of
happiness and comfort from hum
anity that would leave it vastly poor
er.
There are two friends on whose
unfailing love man has counted. Two
friends whose love has followed him
through every path of crime. or
shame, or degradation, over which
his wayward feet have wandered
his mother and his dog. We do not
for a moment put these two un-
wearying affections in the same
category, only the fact We have stat
ed remains.
On the whole we believe the dog
has returned to man in devotion and
service all that man has ever given
him. and that, of the two, were the
dog to be exilsd from our civilization
man would be the sufferer rather
than the dog.-Our Dumb Animals.

Someone may have heard OF a dog
who deserted his master. or forsook
him in his hour of need We never
have. What the dog is in his devO-
tion and fidelity man has largely
made him during the innumerable
generations since the two entered

can trace the history of man the
dog appears associated with him as a
sharer Of his joys and SORROWS. his
wealth and his poverty. 1t would be
interesting TO know how they came
together; under what circumstances
they learned to know and trust each
other.
There have always been men and
women who have not liked dogs. For
these the normal man is sorry. They
are missing some Of HES rare and
beautiful joys. Occasionally among
these who see nothing ia the dog but
a possibility of hydr0phobia, or a
carrier OF disease, there lis one who
denouncos him as a peril to our

Indifference to the suffering OF
beasts always comes from over

Yes! Nearly all the suffering we
infict, whether on human beings or
on animals, comes from our not

Rights or no rights, I care not !;
the fact remains that by so much
as we infict on sentiment creatures
unnecessary suffering, by so much
