On the night of the 29th of January, 1897, with no covering but that with which he was endowed at his birth, with no witness save the silent stars, the victim alike of the yicis- itudes of fortune and the yindictiveness of man-died "Son." As with Julius Caesar, so with him death was sudden and unexpect ed. No premonition of the coming doom dis turbed his peaceful rest, as stretched to the full extent of his elongated stature before the glowing embers in his master's room, he slept the "sleep of the just" on the night of the cessation of his existence. The approach of Atropos was indeed stealthy and the sound of her foot-steps softened by sandals of silk. But he is gone! The clutch of the grim Monster fastened upon him, even as"faded on his sight" the last glimmer of light in the room from which he had bo recently departed. He is g one! the tormentor of the servant, the admirer of the professor and the universal pet of the students. He in whom fidelity was in stinctive and resentment a thing unknowu, is gone. But though gone forever he is still beloved, still remembered and now lamented by all save a few surviving grasshoppers, relations of an occasional victim of his, who mimic the ludicrous contortions of Mr. Eat man and his satellites, as in their fiendish flee over the decease of one inveterate en. emy they call down a similar fate upon the Wed heads of his partner in their destruc tionthe bugological class. No more when again the budding rose announces the return of Summer, shall his cheering presence dis pel from the breast of his master the fear which lurks there, as, near the moment of the transition between nisrht and day, he re turns from his angelic visitsl No more shall he lead the weary huntsman a fruitless ohase through the Cobbological byways of endergrasses' and Mason's in quest of the War7 quail! Never again shall the noctur Qal visitor, after inflicting for interminable ages his presence upon his"friend across the way," return to raze upon his downy couch andSoa, and realize the neculiar ootency of "e transported mud! For he is gone! ln him too the world of thought has lost a future light. Who doubts? Not I, for the zeal with, which the overcame the obstacles "arring his entrance to the library and the anurationwith which, nnra in.he trazed upon cl&ssic shelves betrayed hisambition.while "!8 complacency and abstracted air proved ma natural born nViilnsnnher. Tranquil- ' y aud calm distinguished his bearing. Pru . nce and foresight seemed to be inherent m him- Little would one, gazing at him as he sauntered leisurely along- the graveled walks of the campus, have thought that there was in him that undercurrent of reckless ness which, coupled with a spirit of investi gation which no doubts could quell, was to lead him to so violent and premature a death. Yet so it was, for "He went not like that man of old ' Whom misery drove to beg. Sustained and soothed by unfaltering trust, He obeyedjthe call of emptiness And swallowed a pizened egg." Is it true that with all that was mortal ended all of Son? Can it be that animals of so many virtues were created solely for the pleasure, or more often to be the recipient of, the abuse of ignoble mankind. If we doubt, let us hope that in some canine Elys ian Field Son's spirit is e'en now madly pur suing the meagre umbras of deceased grass hoppers. If we believe, let us at any rate trust that he is allowed to continue his mis sion in another world by . cheering the mid night vigil of old Charon, as he plies a weary oar upon the Stygian waters. In either case let this be our fervent pray er that, when his shadowy eyes rest' upon this issue of the Tar Heei,, he will pardon this rude attempt at his commemoration and lend a credulous ear to the assertion that it originated wholly from a strong reluctance to see a dog of his illustrious type return "Whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonored and unsung."
