OUR ANIMAL DEPARTMENT. By Roy L. McCardell. O all correspondents who beg of us to give rein to our animal spirits in our Animal Annex every day we desire to eay that the strain would be too great. As now the Animal Department will appear every other day {f we feel like it, As regards our animal friends and our friends who are animals, we desire to say that simply writing us concerning an acquaintance who “has a beastly cold” will not include him among our animal friends, We have in type a hot Scotch dia- lect story written expressly for collie dogs, but are reluctantly restrained from printing this most excellent atory for the reason that Scotch dialect is out of style. We will continue, however, to print pretty stories and poems to be read to our household pets. Here 1s one to try on the dog: ‘When a snail comes out for exercise it never takes a hack, ‘And it never ventures far from home, ag its house is on its back. Three pretty puppies saw one once and stared with open eyes; The sight of such a strange shaped thing filled them with mild surprise. ‘They wondered at its shell so white, ite skin both soft and wet. Qne said: “Tf I should eat it {t would be in a pet!” other said: “If eleven such were given me as mine abel them ‘A No. 1,' and go on till ‘K—9,’" } vad then the snail stuck ont its horns just like a little cow, the pretty puppies ran away yelping “Bow, wow wow! (Application!) @ eneil should harry puppies 0, yelling ‘Wow, wow!" as they ran, @ snail should harry puppies so, how woud it Harriman? WAitor Animal Dopartment: Why can't you print the Animal Department every day? I have lote of animal friends. I know a lot of bulls and bears in 1 street and not @few lambs.
