"Of~ course" said the Collie after he
was home at last and was talking with
the other dogs, 81 don't blame some
dogs for getting good and angry when
they are treated~badly.
And so much depends on a dogs
bringing up. If dog is treated nice
ly and kindly, then the dog is gentle
and kindly, too, and isn't on the look
out for snappy, cross people, and so
doesn't become snappy and cross him

''But think that the nicer dog
can be, the better it is for him.
1.-THE reason. though, that am able
to be pleasant and friendly is because
Of the nice home I have, and the kind
master and mistress, and because I
have been brought up in home where
people are happy, and where they
laugh and where they don't quarrel.
"Of course, all that makes ME pleas

this Inn, they didn't allow dogs.
"There were many elderly ladies

so tired. I thought to myself that the
people might be friendly, and so I
wagged my tail, although they didn't

"MEANEST MAN" ROBS GIRL
Child on Way to Store in New
York City.

New York.-Gotham's "meanest
man" stole q locket and 25 cents from
a f1ve-year-Old girl.
Angelina Tempo had been intrusted
with a quarter and sent to a nearby
grocery to purchase some butter. A
man with a red mustache lured her to
another street, telling her he knew a
place where she could get the butter
for nothing. Meanwhile he took the
Is cents from her, took off her tiny
locket to have it polished free Of
charge" and then gave her a paper to
deliver to mythical woman In near
by hallway.
When she returned after a vain
search for the woman, the man with
the red bristles had disappeared.

SO wouldn't brighten her, and found
that she wasn't frightened.

"And then the lady called out the
one who owned the Inn, and she asked
to have me fed and a drink Of water
given to me.
''Then one Of the very stylish and
superior walters brought me out a
dainty meal and served me as though

my meal luncheon
''Then they telephOned about to the
neighbOrs and others, and asked ques-
lions about any missing dogs that had
been reported, and they found out

helped me to come home.
'In fact, should say they brought
me home, and 1t would have been a
hard job by myself.

great deal Of difference If one is

was friendly with me.

barked.

HAS THE LARGEST LIVING SNAKE

snake passes away the time lying
partly submerged in cool water until
its next meal time arrives.
II this great regal python were a
star attraction in a circus, he would
probably be bally-hOoed as a ''boa con.
strictor that eats men alive" Ae-
cOrding to DR.. N. HOLSTER, superin-
tendent of the National Geological
park, who was chairman of the new
python reception committee, most Of
the snakes that are shown in the
greatest shows on EARTH and adver-
tised as boa constructors are pythons,
which are usually larger snakes. The
circus variety of python is usually the
rock or black species that grows II
to Is feet long and are found in South
America. These do not compare in
size with the larger regal species that
are found in the Malay regions, parts
Of Asia and the Philippines. The
Washington zoo has three specimens
of the smaller pythons.
The new snake has been secured az
part payment for a baby hippopota-
mus that the National Geological park
raised last year. Most Of the addi-
tons to the zoo are secured by ex-
change in this way. The new python
arrived in New York from the Orient
through the regular commercial chan
nels Of Gagged animal. trading.
The worlds largest snake cost 81
per pound. It's exchange value was
$500, and it is estimated to weigh
close to $50 pounds.

Find HeIium in U. S.
The attempts to produce helium in
commercial quantities in the United
States date from 1916. The year be-
fore the English government had
sought samples of gas from America
in It's search for helium for use in air
ships. The United States was not then
at war and proceeded cautiously. DR..
r. B. Moore of the United States bu-
reau Of mines, who had received the
British communication, recalled that
Doctor Cady and his assistant, d. f.
Mcfarland, had discovered the gas in
unusual quantities in the mid-conti-
nent natural gas, and later Doctor
Cady and c. w. Seibel, also Of the Uni
versity Of Kansas, were employed in
the plans for the construction later Of
three helium plants in Texas.
Two small plants were completed in
March and May, 1918, and began the
production of helium. Their output
was not great, but 100000 cubic feet
Of helium had been produced and
much of it had been compressed into
cylinders for shipment to France when
the signing Of the armistice made that
unnecessary. A third plant at Petro-
