Dictatory McLeish said it was well known to educated dogs that their race was less liable to rabies in sum- mer than any other season and that the malady was superiuduced by ill treatment, hunger. restraint or Jack of water. A dog; quite as much as anybody else. wanted liberty to have his mouth open. He perspired through his tongue and salivary glands: and ithis mouth was, kept closed he not only suflerod but was liable to serious illness. This had, he said, long been understood in scientific canine circles, and be was amazed people claiming so much superiority were ignorant of . it. The practice, of muzzliug dogs in summer was a relict of ignorance and super» stitiou worthy the middle ages. Mr. Grey H. Schroeder follow: d. He was not in very good voice and suffered from stage fright. He went- ed, he said, to protest against the practice so many people had of kick~ ing a dog because he was ugly. He realized that [or his part he did not possess the personal pulchritude of some who had preceded him; but that was in part because he had been built that way and in part from a chronic vacancy in his stomach, a sort of “loug~felt want,” as it were. Because of these misfortunes ( no fault of his ) he was treated with contumely. The life of an ugly dog he found, was not a happy one. In- deed Oppression and abuse appea god to be the badge of all his tribe. he had to wear a muzzle through the dogdays he hoped somebody would poison him,‘provided the dose Was put in a good big chunk of meat. This remark about poison brought several toaddress the chifi‘ all at once, in indignant denunciation of the poison fiend who was repoer to have started on hisannual summer crusade.

Here little Prince Ratzenkutzer- Hankey, piped in with the remark that Sport Murdow’s speech was very well as a theory, but at his place they never ateaway from home, yet two of his predecessorsâ€"~“Tam” and “Clock"â€"~both illustrious and popu lur members or the colohy, had died from poison. If he knew who the poisoner was he would like to sharpen his teeth‘ on the lellow’s bones. He thought a person who would poison a dog on his own ground was not too good to be in the penitentiary. [Hear-2 Hear 1] Bimarck ‘Holste just wanted to say,ae the result of wide observation, that dogs, with all their faults, com- pare favorably with many of their human oompeeis in the matter of personal oflensiveness‘. "For one thing, they did not guzzle beer; for another, they'did not smoke stinking cigarettes or nicotine-saturated old pipes; nor did they spit all round on steps and pavements where well- bred dogs had to walk; and as to manners, both in public and private, the comparison was altogether in fa- vor of the dogs.
