Young man here's a pointer. The girls are
wiser now than they used to be. They are better
able bo earn their own living and they know
what is going on in the world.
Don’t blame the up-to-date girl for being some-
what particular about the man she marries. She
is justified in not throwing herself away on some
no-account man who hasn't a dollar on deposit at
the bank. She wants a home, is willing to do her
share toward making one. Show her that you
are willing to help by saving some money. Put
the money in the bank. Then brace up and ask
her. She is wise. You will find that out.

DOG AS CHILD’S COMPANION
With the Right Kind of Animal
Youngster Will Seldom Stray
Beyond Safe Bounds.
An observation of our friend, th<
farmer, that “I tluuno’s I ever heard
of a child’s gettln’ really lost that had
a dog to play with," merits considera-
tion.
Sweeping generalizations nre unsafe
hut there is uo question of the valut
of a dog as a child’s playmate and pro-
tector. Some dogs have the runawaj
instinct themselves. The call of the
wild stirs within them—they are
vagrants by nature. Such a dog
would delight to have human com
pany in a runaway journey and are
not safe companions for children. But
the right kind of dogs, and there are
many of them, who have been brought
up with children, are quick to assume
the role of guardian. With such a dog
no child would ever get lost; indeed,
would not be allowed to stray beyond
bounds,
TO" have In mind a Great Dane
whose temper was such that, although
we were acquaintances, we never ven-
tured to enter his domnin, If he were
around, until he had had time to sat-
isfy himself that we could pass mus-
ter. Once satisfied you were approved
by the god he called master and god-
dess ne caned mistress, ue nafl a;
embarrassing way of standing on his
hind legs and placing his front o*es
around your neck—a caress quite like-
ly, If you were not well braced, to
knock you off yonr feet. He Was the
inseparable companion of the bahy of
the family—a boy of four or five—
who had n predilection for running
away. When the youngster started,
the Great Dane followed; when the
child reached the gate, the.dog blocked
his way, gently but (Irmly. For any-
one to have touched that child when
the Dane was near would have cost
him his life—unless he had first shot
and shot to kill.
The Intelligence of the dog Is a
source of constant amazement to
those who know him best and love him
most; and,of his devotion there Is,
happily, no question." If all children
had dogs as playmates there would be
fewer to run n\v(iy and get lost.—New

BIG SNOW
For the benefit of our nonres-
ident subscribers we will state
that this part of the country was
visited by the biggest snow of
the season on Wednesday and
Wednesday night, and is still
snowing some Thursday morn-
ing. It is hard to tell just how
many inches of snow has fallen
as it is very badly drifted, many
of the drifts being several feet
deep. We do not believe that it
is quite as deep a snow as our
big Xmas snow was last winter,
but it is by far the biggest that
we have had so far this winter
and coming in the very heart of
winter as it did we are apt to
have snow on the ground for a
long time.
