"A MAN AND HIS DOG"

1t seems as if dog-stories, illustra.
tive of the fidelity of mans closest
comrade among the brute creation,
were never SO numerous among the
news items as they are today. Prob
ably dog nature has not greatly
changed. The skeleton Of dog found
covering his master in the ashes at
Pompeii wore collar that told how
he had already saved the life of his
master three times. Perhaps in the
remote ancestry of that animal was
the dog who met Ulysses on his re-
turn from Ithaca.
But the love of a dog for his master
and the reciprocal affection break into
the public prints increasingly. Here
is the story of the aged man in Wis
consin, who, when he found that his
dog could not be taken into the poor
house with him, returned to the mis-
erly shack they both called home and
killed the dog and then himself. He
could not think of life apart from
his comrade. A Boston man said for
givably "If they won't take my dogs
to heaven l don't want to CO." His
thought was that of Bryant's Indian
who thinks, admitted to that equa
sky, his faithful dog shall bear hin
company" We ha-e wondered wha
kind of dog Noah chose to go with
him into the Ark. 1t must have beer
very hard to make an invidious dis
tinction when they all wanted to go
and no doubt he wanted them all. Per
haps he took a pair Of water spaniels

LEARN TO ENJOY
SMALL PLEASURES

"The people whom most dread as
guests" remarked woman noted Tor
her hospitality, "are those who nave
no capacity for small pleasures" ANY
one who is accustomed to entertain
much will easily recognize the class to
which the speaker referred. They are
tho nersons who are restless unless
something is continually "going on"
Thew cannot enter into the quiet en-
iovments of the family they are visit
ing. A walk, with no especial object
in view, is to them the tamest sort OF
recreation. They cannot understand
another's delight in finding new
flower; they wonder why you go out
on the veranda to view a fine sunset,
the arrival of new book IS Vrine
beneath their notice.
Few of us use to the full the re.
sources of happiness that are avail
able Happiness depends upon the
treatment of what we have, and not OF
what we have not Happiness is made
and not found. The poet teaches us
that If we would, after certain age
find enjoyment in life, we must be-
come again like little children, oper
our hearts to the healing influence OF
nature, and cease to despise simpi'

Betty, the Girl Who Could Be Trusted

Betty was a small French girl.
She lived near Paris in small
town.
He father, General Smith. was a
trusted friend of the commander-in-
chief. The German seemed to
know this. They tried in every way
to capture him.
One time Smith was given charge
of large sum of money for the
benefit of some soldiers. 1t was
locked in a drawer in his room. No
one was allowed to enter this room.
He was given orders to deliver it
the next day. This happened along
in the fall.
This same day, at home, Betty
and her mother were making soap.
When they were about through. the
mother found that they needed
something for it and she left Betty
stirring. the soap.
Once, when she glanced up, she
saw two Germans approaching in
a cloud of dust. AS they drew
nearer, she saw that they came as
no friends, and she thought of
safety first; then of the money
second.
She acted very quick, and finally
again seated herself before the
soap kettle.
They saw her, but didn't say any

RUNNING EAGLE

In the far west there lived &
little Indian girl, or you might cal
her boy, for she was always
running, swimming and doing al
other things that the boys of the
tribe were doing.
One day she asked her father to
make her a bow and arrow. He
was the chief of the tribe. His
name was Morning Sun. Every.
body laughed at her and said
Who ever heard Of girl having a
bow and arrow"
She began to cry. Her father
felt sorry for her and made her
one.
Now, I can go hunting by my
SELF" she said.
She went out and made 100
horse heads. She took them down
one by one, until she became very
skilful. One day three men of the
tribe went out hunting and this lit
tie girl went with them. They
went TO the hill side and shot
some Rocky Mountain goats.
They were coming down and
were attacked by some other tribe.
They fought CALAMITY until the
chiefs horse was shot. He told
his daughter to hurry to the tribe,
but she could not 60 fast on &C
count of the meat on the pony's
back. They finally got back in
safety and got the rest of the tribe.
They went to battle. They rode
for a piece and clashed together.
They fought for awhile until the
chief was shot in the heart. Fol-
lowing that, his daughter was shot
by a mis-shot arrow.
From that on, they were called
by the rest of the tribe, Running
