THE MAN AND THE DOG. Throughout All Times They Have Been Friends and Companions. Dogs are a tremendous subject. To write their history would be very largely to write the history.of the human race, for practically wherever the human race is or has been there are and ever have been dogs. All down the centuries, in every country of the world, the friend of man has followed at the heel of some master, has rejoiced extravagantly in his favor, has abased himself utterly under the cloud of his displeasure, and, ever ready and ever eager to forget all differences, has reckoned the maintenance of good relal|?ns as the greatest thing in the world. > And so, from back in the past, when dog had no real history, when he is known to have existed at all only because of the rude carving on some solid rock overlooking some wild sea, from those dim times the one characteristic of the dog that seems to have ?come down to the present along one wonderfully un-| broken road is his faithfulness. Five thousand years before the Christian era, the Egyptian peasant, as he watched each year for the happening of the great miracle, the rising of the Nile, noticed that its gracious waters began to trickle over his parched land just at the time that a certain glorious star appeared above the horizon. And so inevitably did the rising of the Nile follow upon the rising of the star that, to the present, the star's faithfulness could only be compared to the faithfulnes of his dog, and thus Sirius came to be called the Dog Star. Thus, even at that time the dog had established himself firmly as the friend of man, one whose faithfulness was so unchanging that it formed a just comparison "for the rising of a star. True, there were and are certain eastern people to whom the dog, all his devotion notwithstanding, has failed to make appeal, amongst whom he is still regarded as an out. cast. For the most part, however, and amongst most people, the dog has had no difficulty in establishing his position as the friend of man, and in maintaining and. adding to his reputation in this capacity. Instances are so famous and so many, so utterly looked for and taken for granted, .that any narration of them amounts almost to pathos. Dog devotion has afforded a subject to the artist again and again, a story for the writer, and j a record for the historian, right down to the present time. j And now, during the past four years, the dog race that all over the world his faithfuness to the best tradions of praises are being sounded. " The story of the war dog and his doing is gradually being pieced together. From the very beginning of the war, as one writer has expressed it, dogs "had a paw in it." When the Germans invaded Belgium, the har, ness dogs, which up to that time had been used for hauling milk, vegetables, and other produce, began to assist the refugees in getting their children and household goods out of the invaded country. Later they / hanipri liaht artillerv. and carts lad en with blankets, bread, hay, and scores of other things for the comfort of the soldiers and their horses. Dogs did sentry duty in the trenches, patrolled No Man's Land, carried dispatches through barbed wire entanglements, amid a hail of bullets, > and above all, added to the laurels of their ancestors through the ages by seeking out and helping the wounded everywhere, on the far-flung battlefields of Europe and beyond. Never was there a time, so it would seem, when the place of the dog in the affections -of the human race ought to have been more secure" And yet. side by side with all this recognition of what the dog is and deserves, there still stands, and apparently easily maintains itself, the system of the vivisectionist. It is a system which must, of course, ultimately fall, because, amongst other reasons, of its simple depravity. But, for the present, this depravity is covered up for the multitude under the terrible plea of "progress;" whilst the devastating charge of "sentiment" is hurled at all and sundry who take exception to the practice. "There are many things worse than sentiment," said a famous English , judge, not long ago, "and one of them is cruelty." Ingratitude is another. "Well, after all," remarked Tommy who had lost. a. Ipo- in thp war "there's one advantage in having a wooden leg." "What's that?" asked his friend. "You can hold up your bloonrin' sock with a tin-tack!" chuckled the hero.?Boy's Life.
