To Spare His Dog

"It will by no means do to assume," 3aid Mr. Goslington, "that because lumb creatures do not respond promptly to our kindness they are insensible to it. This truth was brought home strikingly to me once in the cse of a dog I once owned. That fhis dog was not impervlous to gentle treatment was clearly shown by the fact that when ou patted it on the head it would wag its teil; thereby showing that it not inly understood the kind treatment but that it was pleased with it all through. But I observed that when I spoke to the dog when it was not looking at me. it paid no attention. This was surprisIng, and at flrst rather disturbing, but the dog seemed in other respects so kindly that I did nothing about it. "One day when a Germán friend of mine was visitlng me, and when Ihad called the dog with the usual result, I asked my friend to cali him to see ii he would mlnd him any better. He did cali, and naturally enough, being a Germán, he called in Germán. To our ■íreat surprise the dog turned and carne joyously bounding toward us. The simple fact was that the dog understood the universal kindness of touch and eye, but theonly spoken language he knew was Germán, from which country, as I subsequently learned, he had been imported only about ten days before I bought him. "The only question now was whether I shoüld teach the dog English or whether I should learn Germán. I thought it would be easier for me to learn a new language than for the dog, and that is how I carne to take up the study of Germán."- New York ■un. Drink Moxie Norve Food at A.
