THE POLICE DOG. "I must tell you," snld Jack, the po Ice dog, "thnt I am not conceited but ' am very proud." "You see It would bo so foolish to )o conceited. No one who amounts to liiythlng Is conceited, no ono at all." The police dog said tills In.n very oud voice as ho saw a little toy dog aoar by whom he Imagined was con ceited. The toy dog was a toy dog In size; he was a real little "Pom" log. In an undertone tho police dog said to one of his friends standing near: Some of those dogs think no one amounts to anything who doesn't sleep on cushions of silk and have crenin to drink and cake to nibble at with tine 'oiks nt nfternoon teu. "But wo nil know that It takes a fine dog to be one who Is not conceited and stuck up, nnd one who Is conceited 's n pretty poor specimen." Around Jnck were a number of dogs. They began now to nsk him how ho liked his work. "Immensely, Immensely," snld Jnck. 'Why, I like It so much thnt I don't know half enough words to tell you of how much I like It. "You see," ho continued, "I wns born a police dog. But one can't be born anything and stay thnt way unless ono lives up to It. "For example, you may bo born very noble, but unless you do noblo things you'll not stay noble. You may be born a snob and a prig, but If you mend your ways and like folks and creatures around you yon get over being a snob nnd n prig. "Hut, of course, when one Is born u police dog It Is n help. Yes, I como from a police dog family. For years back my finally have been police dogs. They have been born that at nny rate, though nil of them haven't received positions to net ns such." "Dear me," said a bulldog near by, "you do talk In a mighty and line man ner like a policeman or some ono big and strong nnd tall." "I hope I don't put on airs," said tho "You Do Talk." police dog. 'Vm sure I don't mean to." "No, I consider you a sensible fel low," snld a little mongrel dog. "Now I lllce that, coming from you, sir," said the police dog. "I consider thnt a real compliment. For mongrels have always been known to bo very smart, very. They've inede up lu brains what they didn't have by birth they're not so aristocratic, but they don't let Hint stand In their wny. They're brainy. "Yes, I consider that a great com pliment." "You were going to tell us a little more about your work." said a setter dog who had been listening, too. They were all slnndlng under a tree, though the police dog was watching to ee If anything happened which would need his help. It was a rest time for him, but Ht 111 he always kept his eyes and ears open. "Well, I was given to the park by my mother's owner. Then I. was trained and taught how I should act and what 1 should do. "My training look some time, for as I told you n police dog Is not really born one; he must be taught and know Just what lo do. "I'm an assistant of this fine police man near by. I help him. Yes, It took some time for me to learn fo be of any uie. but now they say I'm a fall-Hedged police ilng In actions as well as name. "I try to keep children' safe and ii'.iiy from danger who como lu the park there might be dangers which would come iqi suddenly. I iiius,l say, though, that the park Is a pretty safe place Mild If children keep out of the way of the motor ear.'1 there Is no dan ger at all. ' "I've helped catch those motor cars which went too fast. I've barked at thorn too when my master has stopped them. It's so wrong of them to go so fast when they might hnve un acci dent, and accidents are such dreadful things. "But, oh. I'm glad I'm a police dog, for I can help keep order and that Is what a police dog Jumt loves to do. "1 had fo receive a training for It, though, I did." ho ended proudly. Concede Unessential. Be ready to concede tho unessential. Do not insist on things being done your way in unimportant matters. Do not correct every mild Inaccuracy In the conversation of your associates.
