WHY A MAN LIKES A DOQ Of Course There Are Other Reasons, but These Are the Ideas of the Suffragette Lady. "Why does a man like a dog?" re spoinded the suffragette lady, fierce? ly, and repeated. "Why does a man like a dog? Well, there are numerous reasons, though a dog Is not a reason* Ing being. A dog will lick the hand that beats it; a dog will eat a crust and a bone and bless the giver; a dog thinks whatever a man does Is right and proper; a dog has no rights that a man is bound to respec*; a dog asks no embarrassing questions; a dog Is always grateful, no matter for what; a dog does not ask the man to stay at home nights; a dog is satisfied to love the man whether the man loves the dog or not; a dog submits to any and all Impositions without protest; a dog does not consider itself a man's equal; s*dcg lets a man have his own way; a t!og doesn't want to vote; a dog Is Just as glad to see a man when be gets in at three o'clock in the morn? ing, almost helpless, as if be hadn't gone out at all; a dog has no mother In sight, and a dog can't talk back? can't talk back, mind you, nor won't talk back That is why a man likes a dog." PUT END TO FROG-FARMING Audubcn's Scheme Might Have Been Good but for One Small, Unfore? seen incident. There is an amusing story told in connection with the first venture in frog-farming ever made in the United States. Early in the last century Audubon. the great ornithologist, went down the Ohio river from Pennsylvania in a Little steamer of his own. stopping at various points to obtain specimens of little-known birds. While it Hendersonvllle, Kentucky, which ho made his home for some time, he built a mill and proposed to raise frogs on a large scale, preparing for that purpose a pond near the river. The frogs multiplied wonderfully, and on warm summer evenings it was the practice of Audubon to sit under s tree near the pond, listening to the concert given by his stock, and cal? culating the amount of money he should derive from the sale of the grown frogs. But one night, when the frogs were nearly grown, they heard the booming of bullfrogs in the Ohio. Their curios? ity was aroused, and hopping out of the pond, they made their way to the river, into which they plunged and disappeared^' Feeding a Convalescent Child. When my small son was convalea cing from a recent illness the doctor ordered hot gruels, broths, etc., aud I realized tnatjt would require some finesse to get him to take them. So after I had prepared the little dishes for the tray I rolled paper into cones and stood one up over each lit tie cup. Then I pinned a penny flag onto one cone and, lo! I had Com? pany "D" in camp and sonny and I went visiting. We stopped first at the captain*! tent (where the flag was) and tt partook of the treat offered. Then h* went gayly from ^ent to tent, eagerly lifting up the paper cones to soe what was beneath. The next day I made a log cabin out of toasted bread strips piled lo? cabin fashion. It inclosed a cup ol beef tea, which he drank because It was presented in a way that, appealed to his imagination. We played soda fount tin and h* paid for his hot drinl.b with toy money, and thus I accomplished mj purpose without friction.?Hai per*4 Bazar. . . . % Home Gambling, A man may gamble at home with impunity, according to the unanimous "uling of the appellate division of the New York supreme court.
