Whines In Vain to Obtain Help for
Mistress Wto Dies Sud.
denly.

Los Angeles.--Doughboy, Il pedigreeh
bulldog, owned by T. C. Stevens of the
bond firm of Stevens, Page & Sterling,
was credited with an almost human
attempt to summon help when Mrs.
Stevens aunt, Mrs. c. +. Endly, died
suddenly at San Diego.
The dog. a thoroughbred in which
the owner takes considerable pride
was left in Mrs. Endly's care by Mrs.
Stevens.
During the night Mr.. Endly was
awakened by Doughboy. The dog was
whining and moaning with such per-
slstency that Mr.. Endly fearing his
wife would be disturbed, went to the
door and calling softly to the dog
finally induced him to 90 into the
other room. Doughboy exhibited a
strange restlessness, resisting all eff
forts to quiet him. The man was puz-
zled. Only after a considerable time
did he induce Doughboy to lie down.

Just Folks
By EDGAR A. GUEST
THE LITTLE SOULS.

He shall never live long who serves
only himself,
He shall never be great who thinks
only Of pelf.
Though he grow to be gray
In his own narrow way,
He shall find that the gold
He has labored to hold
Is an empty reward for his long years
of strife.
And too late he shall learn he has
wasted his life.
He shall never be wise who thinks
only of gain,
And tolls for but what he, himself,
may attain.
He shall sigh at the end
For the smile of friend
And shall reap from his years
Only hatred and sneers,
And alone he shall sit at the end OF
his days
And wish he had Travelled by kindlier
ways
He shall never be big who has never
been kind
But shall always be little Of soul and
of mind,
He may scramble and fight
BY the stern rule of might
And may get to the peak
BY destroying the weak,
But there he shall find that his con.
quests are spoiled
And robbed of their charm by the way
he has tolled.
The service worth while Is the service
men give
That others In sunshine and laughter
may live.
The big men are they
Who will pause on the way.
To play for another
The role of a brother.
The great men are they who are gen
tie and kind;
They live when they die In the
friends left behind.
