UGENV the dog. A few years
GA-Ag ago Rover had to pretty
much hustle board for himself.
The best he could hope for was
whatever happened to be left after
everybody else was through eating
or whatever he could find on his
tour through the alleys, or wher-
ever he might find it. Occasionly
he would come upon a nice, juicy
beef-steak or possibly fat ham
that was left at the back-door of
some home by a thoughtless resi-
dent. No special meal was pro-
vided for his palate, nor any speci-
al consideration accorded his cpl
curean proclivities. At night-fall
he was locked out to be the sport
of the elements. Whether it was
rain or snow, wind or frost, he
was right in the midst thereof. He
led a dogs life" Yet with all
his faults he was faithful and COM
panionable. 1t is true that he
would show his teeth to the in
truder, but he licked the hand that
showed him kindness, and ever ac-
corded hearty and unselfish affec-
ton to surly and ungracious mas
ter. He was the comrade and
playmate of the kiddies and un-
complainingly bore the little taunts
and torments they invented for his
annoyance, especially when they
would amuse themselves by using
hammer playfully upon his toes
or tail while he was at rest in his
midday slumber. Of all four
footed things he was mans truest
friend. He gave all he had and
demanded nothing in return.
He has stood the test, and gave
his best as true friend to mankind.
He has proven worthy of being
called the true friend of man, on
the battlefield, Oh the farm, and
even on the ice fields of Alaska.
Even United States senators paused
to pay eloquent tribute to his 10y
atty. He was faithful unto death.
Now he seems to have come into
his own. Some thousands of him
have little else to do save ride
around in costly and high powered
"speed chariots' as boon com.

strative owners. After while no
automobile equipment will be con-
sidered complete without a dog.
Autos are now built with special
seats provided for the dog, and it
is said that one woman in New
York, has had an Individual motor
car constructed for her dog and
his chauffeur. On any Sunday af-

large city there can be seen dogs
that are favored and prominent
passengers of the automobile. Busi-

,RRRmmEMMR@Ra ia "a ] How Much This Fourth Should
 Mean to Us
RRmmmER hARRR

A R or since July, 1868, when the NH destiny of America was de-
 cided on the battlefield of
 Gettysburg, has the Fourth of Tuly meant so much to the United States as this one. We were then en- gaged in the greatest civil war Of h1s- tory; We became involved this year in the greatest war of any kind the world has ever seen.
 As that war kept the Union Intact, our participation in thls war insures he life of democracy, of rule by the people, the world over. The first h. dependence day gave America her lib' arty; tue Independence day of 1868 oerpetuated it, and the Independence iay of 1917, coming so soon after the entrance of America into the world wide struggle of democracy against autocracy, of freedom against tyran- nv. will mark for all the world in the ages to come a new birth of hope for rule "of the people, for the people and by the people"
 The Fourth of July has in years past been a date on which to inaugurate im- portant enterprises. On July 4, 1917, Governor De Witt Clinton turned the first sod in the construction of the Erie canal, then considered great undertak- Ing. July 4, 1928, was celebrated as the beginning of the first railway In this country, the Baltimore and Ohio, when Charles Carroll, the surviving signer of the Declaration, was present and turned the first spade of earth.
 Carroll said: "I consider this among the most important acts of my life, second only to that of signing the Dec laration of Independence, if, indeed, second to that" To the Blacksmiths' association, which presented to him the pick, spade, hammer and trowel used in the ceremony of dedication, Carroll wrote: You observe that a re- public can exist and the people under that form of government can be hap. pier than under any other. That the republic created by the Declaration of Independence will continue to the end of time is my ferYent prayer"
 The cornerstone of the Washington monument at the national capital was laid on July 1, 1850. It was a very hot day. President Taylor, who was exposed to the heat of the sun for three hours, on his return to the White House drank freely of Ice water and Iced milk and also partook of some cherries and shortly afterward was taken i'll and died on July 9.
 The first public celebration of the event was that in Pennsylvania on July S, 17T6. On July Washington, commander in chief, announced in general orders: The honorable Con- tinental congress, impelled by the die tates of duty, have been pleased to dissolve the connection between this country and Great Britain and to de clare the United Colonies of America free and independent states. The sev- eral brigades are to be drawn up this evening on their respective parades at ] 6 o'clock, when the Declaration of con- | gress, showing the grounds and req sons of this measure, Is to be read In an audible voice.

HANGING THE FLAG.
Points About the Display of Your Pa

Points About the Display of Your Pa.
 triotism Worth Knowing.
 Since our people have been stirred up to the point of asserting again their re- spect and regard for their national em- blem by displaying 1t more frequently than usual certain little points of pro priety should be remembered.
 Every one knows that the flags on public buildings and ships in the army stations are raised in the morning and lowered at sIndOwl just as regularly as the days come and go.
 But noted military authority recent ly gave out Q code of etiquette in re- gard to the use and treatment of a flag which every householder should know.
 The proper time for raising or put ting out a flag Is at sunrise or after, never before. The flag must be low cred at sunset. It is an actual mark of disreSpect to allow the flag to fly throughout the night.
 This is rather disconCertng to the average citizen, wbo thought he was performing a patriotic duty In flying his flag during some special celebration lasting for several days or O week. Naturally it is more or less trouble to raise 1t and lower 1t, so 1t was just al lowed to stay during the entire period. The idea Of offering diSrespect to the flag was furthest from his thoughts.
 The same authority also states that in drapng a flag against building the proper position for the blue field Is to. ward the north or toward the east.
 These are little things. but there Is a right way as well as q wrong way for everything. and surely every one wants to treat the flag properly.

 The self made officer Is never a gen. ius; simply q very practical man of native resource. War Is a succession of accidents and surprises. Seldom a campaign or battle goes through as planned. In the midst of confusion quick shifts must be made. Then the born leader comes to the fore in the ranks. He sets himself to work, and then a superior tells him to direct oth- CTS. The others are glad to see order come out of confusion, follow the new lead, and all goes well.
 The self made man may not be a scholar. but he will have Q mind train ed to orderliness. Self disciplined, he can discipline his fellows. If he can not write or keep accounts he can get some one to do lt. His reports to headuuarters will be as well done as his trench digging and scouting enter prises.

DEER AND THEIR HORNS.
They Get a New Pair Each Year, and
 the Bravest Get the Blsgest.

As every year horses shed their old coats for new ones, so the deer in our forests or parks drop their horns. Then, in about thirteen weeks, new pair of horns arrives, but they are ten der and easily hurt.
 A deer's new horns are called ''vel- vet" because they grow inside of a tough skin which Is coarse and brown, like plush. For a long time he will not thrash his horns in the brush. It would be too painful
 When Q deer is without horns he feels weak. When the new horns start and grow he begins to feel strong again. After awhile he losses his head from side to side every day, and then he runs rapidly through the brush and undergrOwth.
 AS his new horns become big they also become less easily hurt In run ming through the brush the outer skin, or "velvet." is broken and peeled away. In the springtime the velvet" drops of. The deer Is then very proud of his new clothes.
 If a deer is not afraid of pain he will try out his new horns long before his mates do He will not wait until the velvet" is gone. Wherever this outer skin is broken too soon the horn grows longer and larger. Thus it Is that the bravest deer has the biggest pair or horns.-A!heny ASc=,:.
 Fourteenth Century Life.
 In the fourteenth century people lived In mud huts, with a rough door and no chimney. It was not till a century lat CT that the erection of chimney was considered more than an indulgence In luxury, a fire commonly being built against the mud plRstered wall Of the hut and the smoke escaping through tbe roof. All furniture was of wood. Most persons slept on straw pallets, with a Jog Of wood for a pillow. Even the nobility had no glass in the win dows during this time. Cleanliness was not a characteristic of the people, and Thomas a Becket was considered more than necessarily nice because he had the floor of his house strewn with fresh straw each day.

Civil war veterans.
Mrs. Lithgow, the night ma
