Courage Growing Virtue.
,u ,bs Iondon TfJbits

From the London Tdbits.
Courage is a gem of the first water
It's association is with the brave and
noble. It's contra IT is the coward and
his meanness. 1t is the virtue that
makes the difference between a true
man and one living below the line of
his privileges.
Courage means something more
than bravery. Bravery belongs to
the battlefield but courage moves in
quiet places and grows like the ferns
rather in the shade. 1t takes grit to
be courageous. It Is more telling
than thrilling.

Some Dogs Poorly Bred.
This difference in their reaction
while undergoing hospital treatment
is attributed by DR.. LentZ partly to
the fact that the police dog aS a
breed has not yet acquired that Ia
milarity with strange persons which
centuries of association with human
beings have given the setter and
pointer and partly to the presence of
many poorly bred animals in the police
dog. category.
The real police dog, typical of the
best possibilities of the breed. is n
powerful, intelligent animal. the vet
erinaran said hut the desire to fill
the unprecedented demand for police
dogs following the World War was
responsible for the breeding of thou
sands of socalled police dogs far be-
low par in size and strength, many
being nervous, irritable and even
timid.
1t is the animal of this latter type
and not the true police dog which
causes the most difficulty when
brought to the hospital for treatment.
