"I am so glad that the boys and girls like me," said Billy Bugler, "and I have heard that a good number did. Well, I am not conceited about it, for my missy tells me it is wrong to be conceited, but It does make me happy and she says that that is all right." "She praisdi me up herself and tells me I'm a love of a (log 'and all sorts of things like that. How my little dog heart does go pitter-patter with joy when she tolls me that. "You know that I'm a Boston Bull with a white head and white chest and white paws. "I must tell you of the pillow that was made for me. "My missy was having some mat tresses and some pillows fixed for the beds in the house. And she thought it would be nice for mne to have a new pillow. "So she ordered one to be made along with the mattresses and the p1l) lows for the house. "That was a nice way to treat a little log, wasn't it? And how I love my pillow. "It's just a nice square soft pillpw and I can curl up and get on it and lie down so Loftly and so snugly, and then I can dream of my missy and my master and their kind words and their low voices. "I love low voices, dcei't you? My missy has a very low voice an( so has my master. I do hate people who're always saying at the top of their Voices: "'Lie down, sir.' "And 'Beg, sir.' "I understand just as well when I am spoken to softly, and I fancy other dogs would too if they were taught that way and didn't hoar people speak Ing so loudly. "Sometimes they think people are only speaking to them when they do speak in loud tones and when they say things crossly. "But that is different from my missy and my afoster. "Well, my missy took me for a trip with her to the seashore, I live near a great big river but there is no sea near my home. The sea got tired, I believe, before it got nf far as wher we live. Not that we live way, way off, but it is fairly far from the sen, and as the sea sedms strong enough IA A Rest. at the seashore I think it must have thought the~ walik 'way back where my hmome is was even too miuchi for it, "It must be a very long walk. Miy missy and I take long walks. But we certainly dlIdn't walk from our home to the seashore. No; we took a train. "We had a beautiful time there, though some of the time I had to wear a muzzle and that is a fearfully hard thing to (10 in the summer. Every (dog perspires through his mouth. That isn't a very pretty thing to say, but it is the truth. And we pant with our mouths when it is hot, So that a muzzle for a dog in the mummer time is a horrible thing-especially when smlall places think they're needed for the (logs of the place. "In a city where there is such a ter rific heat and where dogs enn't get under trees and lie in the grass it is different. But not so in the country, "However, I didn't have to wear my muzzle very often, I am thtankful to say. "I us~ed to go swimming with my missy. She would go into thme water nnd then she would whistle for me and~ I would jump along over the waves until it was beyond my depth, and then T wvould swvim out to her. "She would take mue in her nrms and give me a rest when I reached her, and thent I would swim baick home, "Sometimes the water wats chilly, andl after I had been in once T would lie on the beach. and putting myehend ont one side I would beg off from going in 0 sc'ond time. "But I did( enjoy my Mwimis. nnd the waves, when they were little ones, were lots of fun. There was just enough then for me. lbut w'hen it was very rough my mtissy only had me panddle about and get my little feet with thteir white shoes wet I Miy white paws., T menn I "And when we were at the seashore we took my Pillow along with me. that was made especlially for' me, I used to sheep on it and have a beautiful -time. Wasn't it nice of my miisy to bring my pillow~ along too? The very pillow that I love the best nntd thtat T feel the best on). "PBut in case you don't know it I'd like to te'. you that I'm enormouly fondi yt '.,e: nnd ivih a r'od hone-' well, it's better than a jtoodl book or a dish of ice cream any dlay." IS CITY OF CONTRADICTION% irkutsk, Metropolis of Siberia, "Forty Hours From Anywhere," Rernark able for its Peculiarities. Irkutsk Is 40 hours from anywhere, figuratively; five 'days from Petro grad, literally, in the best of times, and much further, in fact, from the ItussIan capital than is San Francisco from New York. The Siberian nietrop olls, too far removed to suffer more thai pin pricks from the world war, finally fell to the boisheviki. "Anong Siberian cities, Irkutsk is noted for its churches, orphanages. hospitals, schools, observatories and museums," Gen. A. W. Greely wrorte after a visit to it about ten years ago. "It is a city of imposing buildings, beautiful homes, and is given to lavish hospiality, while its extended busi ness operations are supplemented by all modern munielpal equipment, in cluding telephony and efficient fire service. "It must be added that it has in Sunmmer neatly impassable streets, that the prevalence of unpunished erintes is notorious, while it is said by free-spenking Itussians that the in efliciency of the police Is only sur passed by the corruption of its olli The city's normal population is about that of Omaha, Neb., necording to a hulletin of the Natlonal Geographic soelety, whIlch adds: ,, "Trkutsk had its beginning from the stntion established there in 1052 for the collection of a fur tax fron the Ilurlats. This curious people still dwells in the Balkal region. In them, it would seen, the ethnological east and west almost ieet., Their busl ness is akin to the herdsmen of our own western plains; their appearance, with shaven heads and pigtails. like that of the Chinese. In winter they dress like Eskinios, with sheepskins and furs; their summer attire is the oriental gown of silk and cotton. "The horses the Buriats raise fig ure in the religion they cling to most tenaciously. This religion calls for sncriflee of the favorite steed at the I owner's grave. The less faithful among the heirs, though, have been known to tie n'n animal with a tether so frayed that the horse soot broke away to join the herd. "One of the peculiar custnms which the traveler encountered at Irkutsk he fore the war was the closing of the railway ticket oflice for the sale of tickets two days prior to the depe t ure of a train. le was not expect to decide to take a trip to Petrogi (3,792 miles), to Moscow (3,384 nilles), or to Vladivostok (2.008 mites) on the spur of the moment." Romance of Cotton. The repor that cotton has been dis covered growing wild, in what was be lieved to be an Australian desert, opens vast possibilItles of new for tunes. The history of cotton is strewn with El Dorados--except 'for some of those inventors whose ingenious ma ichines of the eighteenth century have mtade riches for modern Lancashire. Arkwright is the most conspilous in. stance of reward following merit. Most of them, like Hargraves, died in pov erty. It is only in our own times that vast fluctuations in the price of cot ton have taken pilce, and that, of course, is due to the amazing ingenul ty of the men ho mare the hunman like machInes that now (10 the work of a thou sand men.
