DOG REFUSED TO STAY DEAD
indianapolis Policeman Found He Had
Not Done a. Good . Job a.
He Thought

Frank Finney. motor policeman. lost
his reputation as a marksman the 9TH
er day after he and his partneB. Ben
Lansing, had been called 10 the Co
burn Storage and Warehouse company,
I'll West Georgia street, to end the
suffering Of a dog that had been run
over by an automobile.
Finney shot the dog, ell right. the
bullet apparently putting an end to the
animals suffering. In fact attaches of
the warehouse officially pronounced
the dog dead. and told the two motor
policemen they could return to head
quarters. as further services would not
be needed.
A short time after the motor police
men returned, an attache Of the ware
house telephOned to Captain Sanders
and told him the dog apparently had
"come to life again" and was trying to
walk. Finney and Lansing were sent
back to complete the job. The former.
however, refused to take hand In the
affair. eontending that he had killed
II the first time, so Lansing was chosen
as ekecutioner, and the dog was real

Watermarks.

He had filled the sheet in his type
writer, and wished for more paper on
which to complete his rough draft; so
he reached down into the wastebasket
and draw out business letter that
was clean on one side. The sheet was
the machine he noticed a wa,ermark
in the center. Holding II UP to the
light, he saw that il was a large United
States seal four or Ave inches In diam
eter.
The watermark was almost invisible.
II did not show to the eye except when
the paper was held a certain way. and
it did not change the nature of the
paper or in general the use to which
it was put. 1t was still letter paper,
as it would have been without the
mark. But il did have real meaning,
nevertheless. 1t meant that the paper
belonged to the United States govern
ment, and that it was to be used in the
service of the United States. The let
terhead at the top gave a list of the
House Committee on Patents, and the
letter itself was signed by a certain
Congressman.
The watermark did not change the
nature Of the paper, but it gave it
standing before the world as United
States government paper. 1t fixed its
place and indicated its service.
There is similar mark in the soul
Of every true Christian-not a half
invisible watermark but blood mark
mark does not change his nature-he
is still human and often 1t does not
change very greatly the u,e to which
his life is to be put. He s II does his
daily work He meets temptations; he
bears burdens; he carries RESPONSE
bilities; he enjoys pleasures; he en-
deavors to help his fellowmen. But il
does have very real meaning never
theless. 1t means that he has stand
ing in heaven. He bears the water
mark Of the kingdom Of God, which is
the blood Of Jesus Christ. 1t means
that his place is fixed here in the ser
vice Of Christ and that his place is
assured there in the presence Of God.
1t means that his service is deter
mined. II means work, sacrifice, love,
sympathy, help, even as before-but
now all for the One whose he is and
Whom he serves.

Empires That Have Fallen.

Six empires have disappeared within
the memory of living men, remarks n
writer in the Brooklyn Eagle. Nearly
SO0.OO0,00O people, close to one-half
the worlds population, have been re-
leased from the shackles Of imperial
ism since 1871. History has no paral-
lei for such changes. In the retro
spect Of history 30 years are but a
flash in the march Of the ages and yet
since 1871 the doctrine of republican
ism has been embraced by half the
world. Not all the preceding 1000
years Of mankind's march toward lib
erty records such progress.
Six emperors have laid down crown
and scepter since Theodore Roosevelt
life. Three have died, one. was MUIR
dered. the other two are in exile, while
Of the three still living, only one, the
boy emperor of China. Is still enjoying
the luxuries that sweeten life for those
In high places. 1t was Napoleon Ill
who led this debacle Of Imperialism.
Dom Pedro of Brazil was next and the
last Of the Manchu dynasty followed.
The crash Of the three remaining Eu
ropean empires, Russia, Austrla-Hun
gary and Germany, resulted from the
war for democracy. When 1t comes to
mere kings, memory cannot recall
them all, for they have tumbled ev-
erywhers from Hawaii to Portugal.
from Saxony to Bulgaria.
