Some peoplo I know of think tlmt
Mu is a lowering of dignity. Tho fact
Is that it Is Just the opposite. If you
paj frequently by the stand of a cer
jtaVi trnlllc policeman you should nmke
It a hnblt to bow to him In a friendly
iMtner. In n very small town -where
th street rnllwny system consists of
a iaw curs nnd n handful of conduc
kntu and motormcn It is customury
ite bow to the conductors whom you
kwro encountered day nfter day. Men
d women with grnclous manner al
looking at htm from behind a barrel,
he saw a strnntre doc. Yotincstcr
burked.
"Hush I I know where there Is a'
bone," whispered tho stranger. "Conn
over here."
. Youngster wagged his tall In a very
friendly manner and rnn up to the
stranger. "Where Is It?" he asked. t
thinking the newcomer was a most
generous fellow.
"Right under that pllo of grass and
leaves and twigs," was tho nnswer.
"You will have to wnlk right on It and
paw It over, but It Is under there
somewhere, I feel wire."
Youngster did not wait to hear any
more. He rnn straight to the heap
nnd began pawing, while the stranger
looked on with grout Intorest, for It 1
was Mr. For, you see, and he wanted
to find out. for sure If there was a traj
net ror Mm. and If so lie must go

he came to call.
Youngster had not pawed long be
fore something snflpped and held him
Vast by one front iaw. and It hurt so
that Youngster's cries must have been 1
heard for a long distance.
"Just as 1 suspected," said Mr. Fox,
and with a hound was off, for Mrs.
Old Dog and all the hens and chickens
and Mr. Rooster came running around
the barn to see what In the world hnd
happened.
Tho master came, too, nnd he
opojuud the cruel trap and set Young
ster free, hut the paw was very pain
ful for some lime, and while he sat
In the sun holding It up, his .mother
told him many things which went In
at both ears and stayed there, for
when he recovered Youngster wns n
wise dog and never gave his mother
or the master cause to call him a silly
puppy again. Hut It took a very pain
ful lesson to make him wise, don't you

nover hnd widespread popularity here,
due, perhaps, to Its rnther poetic asso

Into 'Gene. A fow devoted admirers
of Shakespeare (nnd others unwitting

that ns Ygnoge, tho name wns once be
