WHY ?
Why Do Dogs "Shake Hands" with the
Left Paw
Copyright. 1870. by
Whcclet Syndicate. Inc.

Why 10 LOGS SnuhF ftaNHS WIN the
Left Paw
Almost everyone who has shaken
hands" with n dog has noticed that tho
animal lifts its left paw instead Of its
right, and this has led many persons %
the eupposition that animals are "left-
handed" by nature. The real oxplana-
ton of the matter, however. has nothing
TO do with the habitual use of the left
OF right paw, but tirges upon the fact
that oS per cent Of human beings are
right-handed and that practically 100
per cent of them would never dream of
offering the left hand in friendly greet
ing.
As result, when Person stands in
front of dog and holds out his right
hand, this hand is directly opposite tho
left paw of tho dog and the animal
following the line Of least resistance,
offers his left "hand instead Of the right.
Moreover, in teaching a dog to shake
hands" the master viii almost invari-
ably oatch hold of tho left paw, so tho
dog-in addition to following his natural
inolination-is really only doing some
thing that he has been taught TO do aud
is not giving any evidence of the left
handedness Of animals, as some investi-
gators would have us believe.

Mr.. Fox leaped for Madam Duck but
his front feet caught in a trailing vine.
and down tho bank he went heels over
head and landed in the deep mud of the
river
He struck nose FIRST and while he
was trying TO get up Madam Duck sailed
gaily away, calling back 10 him as che
went:

Reddy Fox crawled up the bank q

mouth and nose filed with mud, and
as he cleaned his coat and made himself
tidy he thought:
"Sing your goodby song, Madam
Duck, while you can, for If ever meet
you again it will be the Swan Song
YOU will sing-I promise you that"
But Madam Duck knew better than

BOOKS FOR BUSINESS MEN.
Books on her own Job are very great
help to any business woman But no 1
many such books can be found that arc
written for her.
Tho wise woman will look up tho lists
Of such books printed for men. These
are advertised in tho various business
magazines, or you can get notes on them
from bookdeatcr, or you can go TO a
library and look them over--if, m il
often the case, they nre not on the shelves,
for mon use these books constantly, you
can at least obtain the title. from the card
index.
OF course books on Tho Woman and
Business do exist, and some ore good
But tn greater numb and usu ally the
better books, nrn written for mon. Women
M clnss have not taken UP tho habit
of reading for business reasons. Even the
girl who il really ambitious about her
work often has no idea Of what value there
Is for her in one or more books that
touch upon her special problems. When
she reads she reads for amusement,
magazine or n novel.
IL u the same way with the successful
business monthly, or weekly. Ii is mon who
subscribe to it and study IL. They find sug-
gestions, advice, definite information Of all
kinds that is direct help To them in their
work. Women largely overlook these
publications.
Il Is an excellent plan TO lay out course

should confne yourself TO reading on your
business. But If you do make some sort
of plan, you will then include at least four
