a BOY AND A DOG

Two boys and German police dog were out in a
rowboat, rigged with SAIL 1t grew rough. The boys
stood well enough, but the dog grew frightened and
jumped overheard.
One of the lads Immediately followed the dog to
save him. When the dog to the surface, he nat
nrally chung to his master, who pulled under the
water and drowned while the lad in the boat tried in
vain to reach him. The dog then safely ashore
as he would have done in the first place if left to
his own devices.
Give that lad credit for heroic and touching un-
selfshness. We might adapt scripture to the case re-
Nerently enough Greater love hath no boy than this
that he gives up his life for his dog. But it was an
unnecessary and foolish sacrifice Almost any dog
can swim better than almost any boy, and dog in
the water is often dangerous, this one was.

1T is impossible for any metropolitan newspaper to
maintain nationwide subscription list under present
rates.
Most OF the argument is probably sound From
the standpoint of broad public expedency it NAV be
enwlse TO impose any rates of postage tending to
hinder the wide circulation of reading matter Yet the
specific application of this argument made by the
