That Heroic Terrier Is More Wor
thy ol Immortality Than Some
Human Beings.
He was a "mere dog." Yet
they gave him a "Christian" bu
rial. W hereat tlieovner,a New York
man, was subjected to unpleasant
criticism.
Head the story and draw your
conclusions
The owner with his pel, a hand
some fox terrier, in leash, was out
for a walk. Suddenly, with a
strange cry, the dog gave a great
spring, releasing himself from the
leading string of his master..
This was the cause: A Utile boy
who hfd been playing in the street
had fallen in front of a rapidly ap
proaching automobile.
The driver was unable to stop
the machine. The death of the
boy seemed certain.
The terrier was at the boy's side
in an instant. In a twinkling he
had pushed the boy away from
where he lay. The onrushing auto
missed the little fellow by the frac
tion of an inch.
The boy was saved.
Quickly he was caught up by a
bystander and placed in the arms
of his despairing mother.
And ihe dog? The heavy, crunch
in" wheels of ihe big machine pass
ed over the body of the poor terri
er and crushed out his life.
He was only a dog. And yet
If it is true that "greater love
haih no man shown than ilut he
lay down his life for a friend,"
what shall be said of a dog ihat laid
down his life for a stranger?
Only a dog. Bui
He won the supreme praise of
Holy Writ and more. The boy
was not his friend, not even an ac
quaintance, and yet the dog loved
him to the death.
NX'as i luit dog not a hero and a
niattyr? Certainly he was entitled
to decent Init ial. And if a hymn
was sung and a brief sermon made
by ihe dog's sorrowing yet proud
owner who is found to sneer?
Could the dog's surviving friend
do less over ihe remains of such a
hero?
"l.o, the poor Indian," fondly
believes that in the happy hunting
grounds his faithful dog shall bear
him company.
Well, that heroic terrier is more
worthy of immortality than some
humans 1 know. Is there a here
after for such a dog?
TOO MUCH l-OK RIIMUION.
The finding of an old document ;
suggests a famous anecdote of the
late Admiral Hvans, which ran
something in this fashion:
The Admiral one Sunday went
to church in a certain city and sat
down in a pew which seemed to
him to be in a good strategic posi-;
tion. The owner of the pew, who
did not recognie the Admiral, at
once wrote on a slip of paper and j
handed it to him: ''My name is ,
, and 1 pay $1000 a year for j
this pew.'
Admiral livans at once wrote on
the slip and returned it: "My name
is Bob livans, and I think you pay
too much." New York World

A fool there was and her heart she gave
(Uven as you and 1)
To one who was called a heartless knave,
But the fool styled him good, noble and brave,
Never trying herself to save, ,

Oh ! the pain she'd hide, which she denied,
Had ever been caused by the man
She endured from one who did not care
(And now she knows he never did care)
And did not understand.
A fool there was and her eyes were blind,

To all his faults and ways unkind.
She loved the man and did not mind
And could not see the faiths others would tind,
Ignoring their warning that meani in be kind,

And each mail brought her a billetdoux

Always hiding his faults from view

A Florist's Window Bears This
Legend : "It Is Better to Send
One Lily to a Live Friend than
Ten to a Corpse."
This card is said to be a very ef
fective salesman, too, if one does
not pause to reflect upon the point
where sentiment and commercial
ism meet.
We cannot, of course, know
how much good the flowers that
are sent to a corpse do. But, we
have an idea that the sentience to
him who but recently inhabited
that tenement of clay is little con
cerned about such things.
But we all know what messages,
that cannot be voiced, they bear to
the living, the rose in its gran
deur, the lily in its purity, the vio
let in its incomparable sweetness.
"There's rosemary, that's for
remembrance, and there is
pansies, that's for thoughts."
"Flowers," says Emerson, "are
a proud assertion that a ray of
beauty out values all the utilities of
the world."
And whoso gives beauiy sudi
beauty gives a real gift. An en
emy may give honied greetings.
The gift of flattery may poison
j while it pleases. There may be a
humiliating assertion of superiority
in ine gilts ot the rich and power
ful. There is a gradation, too, often
unconscious, but nevertheless ac
curate, in the many conventional
greetings we give to men and wo
men every day. But every greet
ing may have the force and effici
ency, somewhat, of a flower. This
is a grudging world. Did you ever
have a word of praise in season?
Then you know its worth, when
the heart is heavy and the way
seems dark. There is in all pro
bability someone you will meet
w hen you set forth this morning
to whom a word of cheer, of real
solicitude, of genuine sympathy
thought-flower from soul to soul
will be a blessing.
Every day last week your path
crossed that of someone in need of
something you could give. Some j
are struggling with temptation.
Some are confronted with discour
tnent. Some are bereaved. Some
are suffering from injustice. Some
have made disastrous errors. Some
have hearts sickened with hope
deferred.
To these the right word of com
fort and of cheer would have been
more precious than gold. Greens

All Manly Men Work.
Work, my son, never did kill
any one.
You need not be afraid that you
may overwork yourself. People
may die because they work all day
and drink or dissipate or gamble
most of the night, but they do not
die of work, my son not of work.
Work is good for you.
Good, honest, healthful labor
will make you sleep soundly, eai
heartily and digest easily. It will
make Sunday a welcome day and
a holiday worth while.
Work makes men.

the men who least need to work

loat is to a real man a heavy pun-
ishment.
If you would be a man work.
You cannot show me anywhere
a lazy boy or man whom anybody
respects or who amounts to any
thing. Work.
Find out what you best like to
do and then roll up your sleeves
and work at it with all your might
and main. It doesn't matter much
what the work may be so it is hon
est and suits you.
Work at your work.
Whether you use a pen to write
or a shovel to throw yellow clay
out ofa ditch, whether you preach
and pray or paint a house or pad
dle a boat or run a peanut stand,
you must work.
Work hard.
The busier you are about your
work the less mischief you will do,
the happier you will be, the more
dollars you will make and the more
good you will do in the world.
Do not shirk. (
When you play you should work

play at your work. Work while
