Memories of past benevolences in the canine lines and their resultant troubles prompted him to adopt this course. All his life Holpeter had been seeing homeless dogs, and even he had reached the point where he realized that it was not always well to have too acute & vision. Further, this particular dog was not at all the sort of dog a sane person would care to see, almost anything in the line of dog ex- cept a Mexican hairless, because ft was so grimy and matted that its or- iginal style of architecture and decora- tlon was quite obliterated. But Hol peter had caught a glance from its eye that struck in. He turned up his fur collar and dug his hands farther into his pockets and strode on, frowne ing. “I came near bringing a dog home,” Holpeter told his wife at dinner that night, “My goodness!” cried she. “I should think you'd have more sense!” “Oh, I was just joking!" Holpeter made haste to say. “We can't bave a dog in a flat.” The next morning as he he walked down the street Holpeter saw the dog again, shivering in the mouth of an alley, tail between legs. “Good boy!" Holpeter sald reckless. ly and snapped his fingers. The dog put forward one shivering paw and then huddied back. too cold evidently to risk the eflort which might end in a rebuff. That noon in the midst of his hot lunch Holpeter choked. “Bet it hagn't had a square meal for weeks!" he growled, “Huh?" said the man who was talk- ing to him. “Nothing at all!” Holpeter snapped. The next morning in his pocket re- posed a neat little packet of meat and bones and Holpeter was terribly con- cerned when the dog was not at the usual alley. He found the beast a block away, however, and gave him the food. He stood watching it eat and was run into by six men inside of a minute. “Say,” Holpeter broke out to his wife that evening, “he'd be a fine lit- tle fellow it he had a bath and was fed up!” Mrs. Holpeter, with wifely intuition, jumped the conversational gap and guessed right the first time. “Henry,” she said, “I wish you'd get that dog out of your mind! Do you remember the oollle you brought home which ate up your aunt’s new sealskin and lost you a legacy?” “Well, there are no more legacies to lose,” said her husband cheerfully. “And it you could see his pathetic eyes!” Holpeter each morning began to get anxious when he was a block awsy from the alley frequented by the dog. It he falled to see it he hung arcund to walt for it. His efforts to fyrth- er his acquaintance with the litfre beast went for naught. The dog had stood so much abuse that its suspi- cions were deep. Finally on a day whick was g2 cold that ice cream would hawve tasted like a hot drink Holpeter tarew caution to the winds. “It's & shame,” he sald, “to think of | that nice little dog freezing to death and starving and nabody willing to put | out & helping hand! I'm going to take him home and fix him up!” Fired by this wirtuous resolve, Hol- peter left work an hour earlier than usual that aftepaoon to search for the friendless pup. When he saw it and whistled it edged away. “Poor chap!” Holpeter sald. doesn't know I'm his friend!” The dog ran across the street and Holpeter followed, narrowly escaping the wheels of an automoblile and fol- lowed by the lavish remarks of its chauffeur. Once on the sidewalk the dog started to run and Holpeter broke in- to a gallop. The woman whose hand- bag be carried away on a coatsleeve buttop in his baste protested so vocif- erously that Holpeter, quite uncon- scious of his crime, was forced to stop because of the crowd that ha rassed him. Evgrybody told the policeman that Holpeter was trying his best to get sway becauso they saw him dodging and rypning! It was an exceedingly cold egening and the policeman was not in a pleasant frame of mind. Holpeter got home at 11 o’clock that night and told his impassioned story to his wife. “Well,” she sald when he had ended his barrowing tale, “what became of the dog™ “Dog!” roared Holpeter. “If he has any sense he's running yet!” “It It was| It might have been | Frank Bowerman, . Christy Mathew- son’s Old-Time Backstop, Is Ex- pected to Quit Game. Frank Bowerman of Romeo, Mich,, famous as the inventor of the only method of eating peas with a knife and without the loss of a pea, also as the only man who ever caught the delivery of Christy Mathewson to the complete satisfaction of the peerless Christopher, will quit baseball unless he gets his release from Kansas City, says the Utica Blade. Bowerman has been in the Ameri- can assoclation for several years, He first played on the Indianapolis team under Charlie Carr. Bowerman and Carr were bosom friends until a dis- pute arose one day and they became bitter enemies. The result was that Bowerman and Carr split for good. At present Bowerman is the prop- erty of the Kansas City club. Carr is going out to manage Kansas City this Frank Bowerman. year and he said that he would not have Bowerman on the club. Like- wise Bowerman does not care to play under Carr, Before the world's series last Oc- tober Christy Mathewson remarked that he missed Bowerman. The peer- less Giant hurler said that the Romeo, Mich., fashion plate was the best catcher he ever worked with. Capron Starts Tralning. Ralph Capron, one of the stars of the University of Minnesota's 1911 football team and who bas an unoffi- clal record of 0:9 45 in the 100-yard dash, has begun training for the pre- liminary tryout in the Olymplan games, which are to be held in Chi- cago in the spring. Capron, if he makes the American team, has had offers from the New York Athletic club to run under its colors and also from a Seattle sporting club. USEFUL EDUCATION FOR GIRLS English Idea s to Ground Them Thoroughly in Practical Detalls of Everyday Life. The English girl is in a falr way to be made wiser, it not happler, since an Englishman, evidently deeming himself competent in the matter, has undertaken to instruct her in the practical details of everyday life, hav- ing established a school for that pur- pose. The puplls at this odd institution are taught how to alight from an electric “tram” without endangering thetr own safety and that of pedes- trlans. They are taught how to open a window and put up a shade in a rallway carriage; what kind of shoes to wear to conserve their health and comfort, and when to wear them, and how to fill a fountair pen. In addition, instruction 1s given in the art of folding clothes, both men's and women's, the proper method of doing up umbrellas and trimming lamps, of opening packing cases and tin cans, and of driving nalls and pull- ing corks, to say nothing of the cor- rect method of lighting fires, or, as the British say, of “building” them. Other courses embrace instruction in the care and feeding of dogs and other animals, to show, for instance, why it is wrong to give dogs chicken bones. The theory of sanitation is also taught, and practical demonstrations are accorded of the effect of grease on the linings of pipes, and the rea- sons for keeping it as far as possible out of sinks. Lectures are given on the prices of all household things, and the quantity required for stated numbers of per- sons. Every girl in the school must have a pocket, since pursecarrying in the § Crushed Rock, Sand and Cement for Sale A% BUILDING BLOCKS OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS 5 12 and 18 inch Drain Tile for Sidewalk, Gate Posts, Flower PAGE SEVEN MONLY TALKS TWEEDELL’S WE CHALLENGE COMPARISON B OTH AS REGARDS QUALITY AND PRICE OF OUR GOODS. $1.00 Sugar, 14 pounds. - - - Swift’s Premium Hams, per pound Best Butter, per pound, ........ ... ...
