TOPSY AND THE POUND MAN One sunny morning on a Pa.turday , a white Alaskan, dog named Topsy came trotting dnvm the stretet . Tops; v.’as well known among the hoys , so she was frequently petted and greet ed« Jn.st then the pound-man wagon came along. It was a favorite sport of Topsy s, to tease the Dog Catchers, so she waited for them. One of the men c’limhed out of the wagon and started to take the big net that all the pound men have-As he proceeded to take the net off the wagon, Topsy barked furiously at his heels, as if daring him to try to catch her. As soon as he had the net in his hand, away went Topsy. She went all a- round the block; and when I saw her next , she was coming around the corner at the other end of the block. She stood on that Corner and barked at the Dog Catchers, as if saying, ' •Why don t you try to catch me? When the pound men saw Topsy on the other corner, I heard one say, It is no use trying to catch that dog. She knows us too well. They never tried to catch Topsy again, even if she trotted after the wagon mocking them. Eigill Davison B8” • THE NEED FOR EDUCATION Education is the best word in the world to-day. If you have education, you can do anything. V hen you go to an owner of a company, and apply for a job and the man asks if you finished your schooling how hap- py you will be to say that you did . Then you will recall how you hated school , and how your mother and father had a hard time sending you- When you do have a chance to go to school , do not resist Many a man has stopped school in his early boyhood, and now wishes that he were a boy again in order to go to school. It ' Will be the same with you; after you have worked a few weeks, you win be very sorry, and will wish that you could return to school for a month. This is not the right thing to do; for in that way, you are not getting ahead in either line . I am determined to finish school, so I shall not feel the disgrace of being uneducated v en I am older.
