Finis seems to be an unsettled ques- tion among mankind, Some people belicve that the dog goes back as a distinct animal for many thousand years. Others claim that he is a wolf, a dingo, or a jackal domesticated. Certzintly our com- mon ancestors, the creodonts, were very different from what we are now. We look like dogs, but the re- semblance seems to be on the sur- face. In character and habits we differ greatly. If taken very young ,we can be tamed, but never to be the affectionate and loyal friend to man that dogs have proved to be. A pet wolf may seem contented for a number of years--then suddenly comes the old call of the wild, and he is gone. There are many kinds ~ of wolves, rr T and we are found in the forests or the plains of every northern country, Like the Indians we are being forced down by civilization.

We have learned to be wary, ( and trapping an old wolf is the hard- est job a trapper has to face. States, counties and ranchmen combine to offer a "bounty" for each wolf scalp. | Some of our 'cleverest comrades, known as "outlaw" wolves, have de- | fied man duccessfully for many years. \ i So the battle between man and { wolf goes on. Can it be possible that the gentle and highly civilized dog | is a'descendant of ours? (Tomorrow: How TI Got Into!

And In Prohibition Timés, A well-known furniture dealer of a Virginia town wanted to give his faithful negro driver something for Christmas in recognition of his un- failing good humer in toting out stoves, beds, pianos, etc. "Dobson," he said, 'you have help- €¢d me through some nretty tight places in the last ten %urs, and I want to give you something as a Christmas present that will be use- ful to you and that you will enjoy.

No Waste of Words. A certain worthy couple in a re- mote district had a boy who was sup- posed to be dumb, for up to his se- venth year he had not spoken. One day it happened that he and his fa- ther were busy in the hayfield. It was very hot, and the father paused for a drink of tea. As he was very slowly imbibing from the jar, the boy said: "Make haste!" In astonishment the man lowered the jar from his Hps and gazed at the boy. "Why, lad," he exclaimed, "you're talkin'! Why didn't ye speak afore?' "Nowt for to say!" replied the boy. --Pittsburg Sun. You Never Can Tell. A Boston man who spent the holi- day in his home village related a ra- ther amusing incident. 'On New Year's day he and his brother hitch- ed up the old wagon, piled a lot af hay into the bottom for warmth, and started off visiting. A spark from one of their cigars fell on the hay in the rear of the wagon, smouldered a while and then burst into a roaring flame. A farmer who had 'been driving along behind helped them put the fre out, and remarked: "I'd been watching the smoke for some time." "Then, why in thunder didn't you give us warnin?" inquired the city man. "Well," responded the old fellow, "there's so many new-fangled no- tions nowadays, I thought you were going by steam."--Boston 'Tran- script. ---- Gritty Girl.

"Oh, these old gloomy Saturdays!" exclaimed Dicky. "I hate them!" "Well, the very idea!" laughed Happy Giggles ,glancing at the clouds that covered the sum. "So it's the clouds that are worrying you, eh?" "They certainly do make me cross," replied Dickey. "Here I had planned on a fishing trip. Mother says it's going fo rain, and now I can't go." "Well!" laughed the elfin merrily. "That does seem to bad. But brace up, it might have been worse. You're better off than some folks I know.

Sherman, was married to Frank Douglas Wallace, M.A, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallace, Belleville. "Well, I'm glad I'm not in their shoes," replied Dicky, as a big rain drop splashed on the end of his nose. "I'd die if I uldn't watch the rain. But who are your friends, Happy Giggles?" 'Why, the Sunshine Fairies," re- plied Happy Giggles. "They're all behind that great dark cloud right this second. Yet I'll bet there isn't a single one of them complaining. Instead, they're helping to push the rain clouds away. The thing to do is to help them." Dicky looked up at the dark cloud sailing high above his head and laughed. "Why I couldn't touch those clouds if I tried, not if I stood on the house- top with the clothes pole," he laugh- ed. "How can I help push those clouds away? Oh, Happy Giggles, you do say such fuany things! Now Just think of me trying to push the rain clouds away." "Sure you can, if you try," replied Happy Giggles.

So the 'Mice went to their cousin the Shrew, who is very cunning, and told him what to do. "Why should you waste your time funning after Mice?" said the Shrew to Kutka, "when you are so much more beautiful to look at than any mouse. { Now Kutka had nox. thought he was beautiful. the Shrew painted utka's face Nke & woman and told 'him to look in a still lake.
