While They Talked

"lie was the smartest dog you ever saw!" said the host from the head of the table, enthusiastically. "There he'd sit just as contemptuous as a human being if you threw down eight rings, or nine—but the minute all ten of those rubber rings were down he'd bark and gather them up one by

"He certainly was bright," said the host, politely. "Now, my dog—" "My terrier was terribly jealous," Interrupted the man with the mustache. "Jealousy in an animal Is very pathetic, I think. Bob had always been the whole thing and when the baby came he simply couldn't understand it. He'd try to push her out of our laps and sit and weep and look agonized when we talked to her. Finally, I telephoned a friend that 1 had to dispose of either the baby or the terrier, and he could come over and take his choice. He was dreadfully afraid of hurting our feelings and explained that of course the baby was lots nicer, but that he chose the terrier, as he could lock it up and leave it at home when he wanted to go out anywhere and he couldn't the^aby." "Ha! Ha!" said the host. "Most amusing! Now, my dog—" "Poor little Fldo" broke in the'woman at his left. "It's all I can do to keep from crying when I think of him! I think dogs must have souls, don't you? He was a cocker spaniel and so affectionate. He loved me devotedly and couldn't bear to have me out of his sight, and it always made him furious if we went riding and didn't take him along. Whenever I left him behind he went straight upstairs to a low shoe closet where I kept my shoes, and If the door wasn't locked he'd nose It open. Then he'd carry every one of those shoes and slippers downstairs and put them on the window seat and sit guard over them till he saw me come home. I tell you, nobody could touch those shoes—he'd growl and show his teeth and raise a dreadful row! I thought it so cunning!" "Very pretty, Indeed," said the host. "It reminds me that my dog—" "Henry!" interrupted his wife from the foot of the table, "don't you remember Sport? Sport was the bulldog my brother owned and when Henry was coming to see me Sport took the greatest fancy to him. One night when he was calling and another man came Sport sat on the front steps and wouldn't let the other man come up to ring the bell! Wasn't that perfectly killing? The other man declared that Henry had subsidized Sport with soupbones, but he really was quite nice about it, because he sent us a lovely silver dish when we were married." "Good old dog. Sport," agreed the host. "As I was saying—" "Fido really must have been part human," said the woman on his left. "He would sulk and pout, yo* know.

Once, when we had been riding and he had stayed at home, he evidently thought it over and got terribly mad, for he acted just like a child who was In a rage and wanted to show how bad he could be. He jumped Into my lap and climbed up on my shoulder and pawed my hair down just as viciously as though he were saying 'I'll show you.' I laughed till I almost cried."

"Dogs certainly are intelligent,' said the host in a strained but de termlned voice. "Now, the dog I am telling you about—"

He was interrupted by his wife and the rest of the women rising and departing for the library. "We'll have our coffee there," his wife remarked.

The deserted men edged closer together and the host cleared his throat. "Now," he said firmly, "I shall tell you about that dog I—" "Say," spoke up the only man who had contributed nothing to the symposium, "I don't care about dogs. Let's talk about horses. I've got a horse that's a wonder 1" "Well, of course, it's In my own house, so I can't do anything violent," said the host "So babble on, con* tonnd j»ou!"

and bring them back to you! Why, he could count, that dog could, just as well as you! There wasn't any fooling him, either! Why, one time—" "My French poodle was just as bright," interrupted the woman on hia right. "Really, Toto was abnormal! He wasn't just a bundle of fluff with no brains, as most people judged from his looks. He knew every single word you said to him and he knew how to get his own way. Why, I've known that dog when there was a roomful of company and nobody was paying any particular attention to him to select a prominent place and sit up on his hind legs, looking about proudly when people exclaimed over how clever he was. "But that wasn't what I started to tell you. Toto was frightfully stubborn and always wanted his own way. Once he sat down in front of the swing door Into the kitchen and barked to be let out there, but for some reason I didn't want him to go, so I said: 'No.' He kept right on whining and teasing and drooped his ears and his tall and looked the picture of deserted despair, but I didn't give In and finally he sat down aid put his head on one side and thought. Then, like a flash he got up, raced up the front stairs, through the second floor and down the back stairs Into the kitchen, where he wanted to go. You needn't tell me that dog didn't figure that all out."

WHAT SENILE DEBILITY IS

Waste of Muscle, Cartilage, Bone and NeiVe Tissue Consequent on lmpaired Metabolism.

I. L. Nascher, New York, says that ,senile debility cannot be prevented, jbut Its effects can be relieved, the mental attitude Improved and a sem'blance of vigor restored. The cause is waste of musole, cartilage, bona and nerve tissue, consequent on impaired metabolism. That which improves the mental condition and Increases hope will improve the debility. When ambition and interest in work are lost erectness and inltlaitive are also lost. Ageing is in great part due to mental influences. Mental stimulation through physical influences is the natural method of overcoming mental depression. Phosphorus and arsenic are useful drugs for this purpose. Hygienic and dietetic measures to lessen waste are useful. Food should be nutritious and 6uch as require little digestive effort. Stiffness of the joints is due to hardening of the ligaments and moist heat followed by massage Is ot temporary benefit. The use of a cane for support in walking, and a comfortable armed rocking chair to support the arms, helps to acquire a better position. True senile dementia due to senile changes in the brain Is a progressive enfeeblement. Marked improvement follows small doses of morphine. This is only temporary and a habit may be formed.—Medical Record.

FINED THEM FOR NOT VOTING

Austria Made 50,000 Men Pay for 8taylng Away From Polls at Last General Election.

In some countries voting is compulsory, and electors are fined If they do not do their duty as citizens and avail themselves of the franchise.

According to the universal suffrage law of Austria all those on the register must record their votes, and at the last general election in that country 50,000 electors

fined sums from

two dollars downward because they neglected to go to the poll. Spain is another country that looks on voting as a national duty, at least In the municipal election. Should a citizen omit to cast his ballot his name is published as a defaulter, his taxes are increased by two per cent., while if he be in the public service, his salary Is reduced by one per cent. Should he commit the fault a second time he is debarred forever from holding an elective position or an appoint ment under government.

A few years ago a bill to the same effect was brought before the parliament of Victoria. All defaulters were to be fined $2.50 unless they showed they were ill at the time, were blind, over sixty-five years of age, or were unavoidably absent.

A similar Idea was mooted in Canada, the penalty being disfranchisement for six years.—Stray Stories.

Sure, He Did the Right Thing! "I hope it will be a long time before I have such another test applied to my honesty," a down-town merchant remarked as he returned from waiting on a customer, relates the St. Paul Dispatch. "What was the trouble?" asked his partner. "These near-wool, suits. An old fellow came In Just now and asked me the price of one. 'Seven dollars,' I told him. 'Speak louder!' he said, holding his hand behind hia ear. So I yelled, 'Seven dollars!' 'Eleven dollars! Too much! I'll give you nine!' he re» plied." His partner looked at the speaker in ularm. 'Y'ou—er—ot course, did the right thing?" "I guesa you can depend on me to do the right thing," was the haughty retort. Then he paused. "You'd better get some dollar bills when you go to the bank," he remarked. "I just gave an old fel. low our last one for change."'

His First Day In School. It was a country school. A small, bright-faced boy had Just been en. rolled, and this was his first day. The teacher pointed out a desk for him, and gave him a lesson to study. He took his seat, propped his knees up against the desk, with his feet swings Ing down underneath, and soon became absorbed in his lesson. He b» came so absorbed. In fact, that he forgot he was in school, and presently he puckered uj his Hps and whistled, first softly and then quite shrilly. The teacher laid down his pen in amazement, and cried sharply: "Who Is that whistling?" The small boy looked up Quickly, and then said. Innocently "That was me. Didn't you know could whistle?"

u, Army and Navy Inventors. There are numerous examples of ofr fleers of the army and navy inventing machinery and devices which are used by the service without any compensatlon from the government. Generally speaking, they are guided by the code of honor that as they were educated at the expense of the government and enlisted In its service It has the right to the use of their inventions without payment of royalty or other money. There have been many who have not considered themselves so bound, and have claimed compensation for use of their Inventions.—The Bookman.
