South saw. that the contract was fairly safe, provided truinps could be drawn and the hearts established without letting East lead. With this in mind West was allowed to hold the first trick, but the suit was continued and the ace won.
 Now the tr,imps were drawn, the third round being won ifl dummy. The queen of hearts was next played and iinessed, West winning with the king.
 Now whatever suit he chose to return was immaterial. South was able to discard three losing clubs in dummy on his long hearts, and lost in all one diamond, one heart and one club.

They give no cause for onense or fear.
When they we're first introduced into
American society for this service they
were often excluded from places of pub
lie entertainment, hotels and restaurants
and even from the common carriers.
The owner of the dog in this present case
once had to ride on baggage car be-
cause the rules OF the railroad would not
permit the animal to be taken into a
coach. These prejudices have given way
before the demonstrated service the dogs
render and their uniformly gentle bear
ing and good manners. Now it is pro-
posed to enact law which will in effect
rate the guide dogs as Identical with their
masters, which they are in effect in re-
spect to all means of travel. The meas
ure should meet with no opposition and
its enactment should give further public
recognition OF one of the most worthy
benevolent undertakings in this country,
the training Of these dogs for this service.

FOOtnOte,

Through the Associated Press a GER
tain distinctively significant footnote has
l. added to the history of contem-
porary times. It consists of dispatch
from Gardnertown, N. Y, and reads as
follows: "Ten-year-old Dick Spoor, Jr.,
not only brings 'em back alive but he
sends them away again, well-fed. Dick
created p. CONSERVATION in the Spoor
kitchen when he walked In from the
woods, his arm around the neck of q
young buck. He fed the animal milk and
bread, after which 1t trotted leisurely
back into the woods"
OF course, such things have happened
before. Long before men first began to
preserve written chronicles Of their ex-
perience the relation between the human
species and its inarticulate animal COM
panions probably was friendly and close.
Changes in climate and other conditions
OF life are supposed to have made them
enemies. But it was not until the inven-
ton of firearms that veritable state OF
war developed between the lords of crea-
ton and the deq pms Of forest and field

over which they were intended to have
dominion. Previously, even the mightiest
of mighty hunters killed only for food.
Nowadays, the rankest amateur goes out
with = shotgun and slaughters for the
alleged "fun" OF 1.-THE law endeavors to
limit his bag in vain; 1t cannot control
the number of his victims left where they
fall.
Dick Spoor, Jr, however, does not ap-
pear to be interested in the sport OF
slaughter. He prefers the conquests of
love. The patience with which he culti-
waited the confidence of the timid deer
testifies for the charity in his heart. He
has the instinct Of Kiplings Mowgli or,
perhaps better, Kim, "the Little Friend
of All the World" And in the twentieth
century-the era Of the machine and of
bitter strife between nations and classes
that impulse is important. Nor is it
as rare as might be thought. The dy-
manic OF mercy and fellowship has not
been banished from the universe On
the contrary, it is one of the central
verities of civilization: 1t is the out
standing characteristic of millions Of
souls Hence the faith which MANY
possess In the eventual victory of peace
on earth.
