"Well, yon see he didn't pay me In

That was ipilte different. Paying a
debt In little dogs Is quite common
even in the business world.
Johnson started out very well In our
community. His father hud given him
a small farm with only a nominal sum
to be paid on It, and If Johnson hud
stayed by the Job he would soon have
been out of debt and in comfortable
clrcumstancas. He was dissatisfied,
however. He traded the farm for a
larger holding In Texas where th
climate was hot, and the soil was
hard-pan, and the water was heavily
alkali, and where Johnson soon be
came dissatisfied and discournped. It
was a case of little dogs, and he came
back shortly much poorer than when
he went away.
All his life he has been keeping up
the same practice. He is an old man
now, who has gone from one thing to
another thinking at each change and
at each trade that he was getting a
bargain ; always dissatisfied with the
situation in which he found himself
and always hopeful that the next
would prove a wonderful bonanza.
Throughout his life he has been get
ting together a hunch of little dogs
that have eaten him out of house and
home until at seventy-five he Is poorer
aj. I than he was at twenty.
i Helton is In college. He goes to
class irregularly, he studies Utile, he
runs about most of the time In a
broken-down car full of flappers and
foolish companions. He's spending a
lot of money, but he isn't learning a
great deal, he Isn't Retting anywhere.
He's just accumulating a litter of little
dog.s.
As I RHld, it's quite a common prac
tice, this trading fur Utile dogs.
