Lee Poiivan Little Things (Contimed from Put Oa) He was also a big friendly dog who loved everybody, especially children. When Mr. Strickland went home for breakfast Monday morning. The Duke, of course, went. too. He knev. | when mealtime rolled around just ! as good as his master and he didn’t have to be called. When he saw I Mr. Strickland heading for his car. ! lie automatically jumped in. J If you've ever seen an aristocratic | sight, it was The Duke perched ( in the back seat of that Cadillac J with his head thrown high, his ' tongue curled around the corner of ! his mouth and wearing his best | bulldog manner. In away, he re j minded you of how a real Duke ought to look. The end came when The Duk*-' hopped out of the car and ran into the street in front of a school bus. Heartbroken, Mr. Strickland gathered up The Duke’s bruised and battered body and rushed him down to Dr Belmont Kittrell’s dog hospital. But a few minutes later The Duke was no longer for tins earth We’ve been sad ever since Pres ton Smith told us about Duke's passing For a year or more we had been planning to take some pictures of The Duke. We even bought c tophat about a year ago. We were going to dress up the Duke to make his picture. How proud he would haVe been in that tophat! And what a picture it would have been. A really good picture of The Duke that captured his ex pression would have won a prise in almost any photography con test. It was Just one of those things we put off doing and now it is too late. But we’ll never forget The Duke Neither will anybody else who knew him. Os one thing, we’re sure. He’ll be the most impressive looking fel low in all of Dog Heaven.

Apparently one is supposed to grin and bear it. In other words, if there is a fly . in your soup—don’: mention it. Or if you have been shortchanged— , look the other way. If you don't get the service you have paid through the nose for you must s ill give a large tip so “some body’s” feelings won’t hurt. Is this because we’re sissies or have n’t the courage of our convictions? | I’ll tell yon borne’hin* that is no ' longer a secret: “I’m not a sissy t and I do have the courage of my convictions.
