Peter always went with his grand

They always started when the six

One day Peter begged to go after

promised, so when Peter heard the
five o'clock whistle blow he started

He stopped at the first clump of
dogwood and cut a long slender
switch. 1t took some time to select
one that just suited him. Then when
he got started again a baby c~ottontail

the side of the lane.
When he finally got to the gate the

Courage-justifiable courage is
God-given, boys. When you buck
the game of life you've got DO have
real courage and never-say-die grit.
Don't quit. Be like the English
bulldog.
In my opinion, the English bull
dog is the most courageous being
either among animals or mankind
He possesses those great elements
that go with courage. He is docile
and kind and loves children.
I once owned a dog of this sort of
whom I was very fond. He is now
buried on a bluff overlooking the
Pacific Ocean. At the head OF his
little grave is a plain board slab with
the inscriptions: "One who in life
taught me much"
And those are my sentiments. He
did teach me a whole lot. He was
kind, gentle and loyal. But, when it
came to courage he was unbeatable.
He knew no fear. When he was 10
years old, blind and rheumatic, i!
would take all the strength of my
right arm and a stout chain to keep
him from giving battle to his enemy
by INTERCHANGEABLE bull.
He seemed to sense the direction

Why Hair Stands on End.

When hair stands on end on the
back of a dog or cat when frightened
it is moved by tiny muscles attached
to the roots. The hair follicle is like
a little seed buried in the. flesh. At
tached to either side of this seed are
tiny muscles which run ~diagonally
through the flesh from the lower part
of the follicle. These little muscles
are like the guy ropes of a tent. They
are what are called the erector mus
cles, and when fear or cold is expe-
rienced these muscles promptly tighten
up in such n manner as to 'hoist' the
hair very quickly.
