Just a Dog **f»«k1 '•* in II— Him von, t*»*> It git 11n> Ingli To hred sour civ** or the %«ill you die!'* Jerome K. Jerome, in one of liis ,ery lew inspired moments, .tt one time wrote <*! a clog as follows: “All! old stanch friend, with your deep, clear eyes, and bright, quick glances, that take in all one has to say before one has time to speak it, do you know you are only an animal, and have no mind? Do uni kntnv that dull eyed, gin sodden lout, leaning against the post out there, is immeasurably your in tellec tual superior? Do y o u know that every little minded, seltish scoundrel, who lives by cheating and tricking, who nev er did a gentle deed, or said a kind word, who never had a thought that was not mean and low, or a desire that was not base, whose1 every action is a fraud, whose every utterance is a lie: do you know that these crawling skulks (and there arc* millions of them in the* world), do you know they arc* all as much superior to you as the sun is superior to rushlight, you honorable*, brave hearted, un seltish dog? They are Men, you know, and Men are the* great est, noblest and wisest beings in the whole vast eternal uni verse. Any man will tell vou j that.” i ou may surmise that this is { just the story of a dog, and if you haven't the love ol (iod's creatures in your heart, you would better pass to the next item, for this will not interest you. “Queen” was a dainty little “cocker-spaniel' ol great beauty and unusual intelligence. “She! could just learn anything,” they said, and the pride she showed as she mastered a trick and jumped into the arms of her teacher to be praised, was suf ficient evidence of that fact. There was just one thing that she did not have to learn, and that was to love* every one of • iod's living things, no matter whether it was a strange man or .1 stray, homeless cat. She was in our home for two years and 1 never saw her ill tempered or out of patience. True, her superior companions sometimes scolded and were cross, but Queen was always the same lov ing and lovable little dog. Her first little family came soon af ter sin* look* u|• her home with I u.s, and, unfortunately, they all idied. She was disconsolate for a while and would whine about her i«*d and shake the bedding in hopes of finding just one ol the little brood she bad been waiting for. Late in the after noon she discovered the old cat and her kittens on the back porch, and, sick though she was, she dispossessed the mother cat by picking her up by the neck ami dropping her off the land ing, and when we found her that night, we saw her snuggled in the cat’s nest, very happy, very comfortable, with her lit tle black arms curled around lour little white kittens and try ing to assure herself that the mother heart can love white kittens if she can't have black puppies. I know you can’t give much space to a dog, otherwise, 1 could tell you of so many tilings concerning Queen that are fully as characteristic as tin* above incident. Well, I came home from Hi awathuon the nipht train Sat unlay, and the head of the house told me of a man who had piven the dop a piece of meat, and t^iieeii tlmupht he was an other ot her many friends, and ate the meat, and then her body had stiffened and her heart beat to burstiup and the little dop was no more. She told me further that I would better say a word to her master, as he was disconsolate, and I went to bis room and found a dop collar on his pillow, lint the boy was pone. So, quietly, softly, 1 walked down the back stairway, for I knew 1 was poinp into the pres •■nee of one with bis dead. On the back lawn, with the carpet and the blankets in which her body was wrapped thrown aside, 1 found a child in the presence of his first prent trapedy. And I wish, oh, how 1 w ish 1 could find the man, ((led save the mark), created in the imape of his maker, endowed with a soul and the hope of the ever lastinp that is denied a little dop. who pave her the piece of meat.

Andy Linton of Vancouver, B.

He docs not build ocean liners, hut gold prospectors’ boats and fishing smacks. He has built about one boat a day for the last 25 years. He has a little sawmill and a few workmen, but does him self a large share of the work of get ting each craft ready for active serv ice. OUT OF PRACTICE. “What do you think of the presi dential election?” “Young man.” answered the local politician, “I’ll have to talk to you about that later.
