More petitions are coming in to Mr..
Bligh as result of DR.. Elvin's address
on the part taken by the dogs in the
late European war, One strong point
he brought out in his relations of bat
I tie field and trench experiences was
the fact that the only protection the
dead and the wounded had from that
awful scourge of war. the rats, was
the dogs A wounded man had more
cause to fear attacks by night from
rats than from the enemy. Dead bodies
left for day were literally stripped to
the bones by the pestilential rat If
the truth were known the humble fox
terrier saved many a dead soldier from
being left absolutely unrecognizable
where he fell on the fields of war il
he was not taken up and buried within
twentyfour hours.

are imprisoned there five days before
being executed. When the unredeem-
ed prisoner is finally forced into the
gastank few low means and that is
the end. Those dogs that are impris-
oned never cease to struggle for free
dom and to return to their friends.
They gnaw the doors and floors and
tear at the fasteners and many of them
refuse to eat or drink. A beautiful
silken-haired setter belonging to Mr..
Livock on Union street was in this
prison for five days and refused rood
or water. When Lady was taken home
she gulped down quarts of water be-

of dry bread, showing she had starved

who is also poundmaster says the way
the city is handling the dogs is con

brings in no revenue to speak of. The
meat bills for the dogs are largec than

poor mans dog that the law is enact

certainly not wise and more up-to-date
in dealing with this problem than

Major Monkey drew nearer. His
face bore a wide grin; while in his
hand he clutched another red apple,
which he threatened playfully to
throw at the company.
Don't do that, Major!" Mr.. Crow
called. "You might get hungry. you
know. And If you do. you can eat
that apple"
Major Monkey touched his cap to
Mr.. Grow. He seemed to think that
was good advice. for he lowered the
hand that held the apple.

At a signal from Mr.. Crow, the

and started to whistle a lively tune
called Glover Blossoms. Being very
fond of clover blossoms, the musicians
began whistling in a most spirited
fashion. But they had bad luck.
