They were all named" said Daddy,
and ] will tell you their names in
the order in which their sizes ran.
"Brutus was the largest of all. He
was big Newfoundland dog. Next
came Bogi, another Newfoundland dog,
but not so large as Brutus.
Third came Patty, an Irish terrier.
Then came QUIZ. cocker spaniel. and
last came Susy, little hunting dog.
When they all stood together they
looked like flight of stairs. and Just
as though one could walk from Susy
right up to Brutus.
"'Ah.' said Patty, I see something
coming my way.
"All the other dogs looked and
Patty said. There is bug and I'm
going TO catch it. I'm going to snap
it thoroughly
"But the bug said to itself, I'll play
a joke on that dog And the bug did
play joke, very mean joke.
Patty snapped nj the bug and then
was about to swallow il when she
had gotten the bug on her tongue.

Jack Quickly Took the Bug Off.

itself to Patty's tongue, and so Patty
couldn't swallow 1t or eat il or any,
thing,
poor Patty! And the bug hurt!
"'Oh, what shall we do?' Brutus
said. as he looked at Patty out of
his sad eyes, for Brutus was very
kind even though he was such great
big dog and so strong.
Then Brutus had fine idea. He
ran for Jack, for he had seen Jack
so 10 nearby field TO play baseball.
He ran just as hard as ne could
and when he reached the field he didn't
even notice the baseball which had
just been hit with the bat.
THE boys were awfully frightened
for moment as they thought Brutus
might get hit by accident with the
lard ball, and they called out to him.
but Brutus wasn't thinking of being
afraid of anything.
But luckily The ball didn't hit
Brutus. and Brutus went right on. up
to his master, barking. and showing
by his eyes that he wanted to have

Jack quickly took the bug off and
then Patty no longer looked sick and
miserable.
''She jumped up on Jack and wagged
her tail and her eyes looked very glad
and happy as she tried to thank her
master. And then she did quite the
sweetest thing ever q dog did. She
suddenly seemed TO know that Brutus
was the one who had done every
thing.
Jack had come quickly when Brutus
had called him, for Jack was always
so good TO his pets, and Jack had been
able to take the bug off her tongue
because he had nice useful hands.
But Patty knew that it was Brutus
who had gone for Jack. and Brutus
who had brought him back so quickly.
And Patty went over to BrutuS,

Newfoundland dog and she licktl

Finding Fault With Vermont But Still
Sticking Around.
Rutland News

The Burlington Clipper is giving con.
sideration to the general Question
!" What S the Matter with Vermont -.
mere may be a number of things that
can be improved. But it occurs that
one thing IS the matter with Vermont
ana that is that some people continue
to 1--we here and to find fault with con-
dltlons when they might easily go else
where.
without any personal application, it
may be SAID that some of these people
edlt newspapers and they apparently see
nothing good in Vermont. At any rate
they are devoting their efforts almost
entirely to criticism of the state.
In state as large as Texas, it might
be something of a chore for a man in
the anterior to move to some other To-
callty If he found nothing eongenial in
ms surroundings. In a state as small as
Vermont, however, there seems to be no
reason why anyone should continue 10
reside IN the state when he thought con-
dltions in other states were to be pre-
ferred. The dissatisfied person can get
out OF Vermont almost anywhere by TAX
ing one day s brisk tramp.
Seriously, however, it is human ma
ture TO criticise. Residents of any com
munlty, either town of state, very easily
fall into the habit of finding fault with
their local conditions. The grass in the
pasture over the fence looks a good deal
greener This is true whether one lives
IN Nebraska, Ohio, New York or any
other state
When the critics take serious stock
of themselves they are perfectly willing
to allow that, while there is room for
Improvement in Vermont, conditions by
and large are more satisfactory than
anywhere else on earth.

Enforce the Fish and Game Laws.

reasonable regulation looking to the
protection and propagation of fish and

sport would have been lost. As the

Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or

through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
