But I cannot refrain from stating that it would be 'a much nobler thing, and a more remunerative thing, if he were to transfer this love and loyalty from a dog to a child. isn't lucky enough to possess a child of his own, let him lavish this wast- {ed affection on some poor waif who not allow to pass this may sadly need it. God knows, there are many such in the world! A half-column panegyric on the dog, when a million Belgian child- ren are dying of starvation! A half-column laudation of a use- less animal when our o#fphans' homes and children's aid societies {are vainly searching for home for friendless little ones! A half-column of praise to a brute, land never a reference to a friend less, homeless waif! A half-column of nauseating non- sense about a cur and hot a word about the dirty, dangerous, destruc- |tive side of the useless brute! Can your correspondent have im- agined that the Whig's Tteaders are asleep, or simple, that such fulsome flattery should touch them? ,1 have too much respect for their intelli- |gence to enterain the idea for an instant But to revert from generalities to particulars Let me assure "My | Dog's Master" that I.have consider {ed his claims, and find them inde- |fensible. Is a dog of more import- lance than a child? Is he to be pet- ited and protected and the child ne jglected? Is the merest waif of a child not more precious and valu- able than a dog? In fact, is not your lehild---my child--anybody's child of vastly more importance than all the dogs of all the ages? I have been called home from my office to find one of my little girls crying in pain, her leg bleeding from the savage bite of a dog that attacked her on the street when she was returning from school, the mother in hysterics, and kind strang- ers ministering to her until a doctor arrive.

Ask how he appreciates every block. Ask the policeman, the postman, the insurance agent, the deliveryman--anybody, in fact, ex- cept the thoughtless uncaring own- answer will contain deep damna- tion. And well it may. Nor is this animosity of the dog due fo any sudden change of feel- ing. From time immemorial he has heen regarded as a danger and a disgrace. The very word, "dog," has always been a term of reproof, of contempt. Go back to biblical times, and you find the same prevalent idea. Note the veiled contempt' in II Kings, vii, 13--'Is thy servant a dog." Inferentially, nothing could be lower in the sacréd writer's opin- ion than a dog. The uncleanness of the animal is well summed up in II Peter I, 194 species is well portrayed by Isaac Watts in hig "Divine Songs." For God hath made them so." Yes, He madé them to "bark and can say for them. Nearly every great writer has used the dog as an illustration of the utmost contempt. For instance, Shakespeare, in "The Merchant of Venice," puts these words into the wouth of Bhylock: "You call me misbelieving, cut- throat dog, and spit upon my Jew- ish gaberdine." You see, the Christians coudn't find any meaner term of reproach than to call Shylock a "cut-throat dog." No wonder he demanded the pound 'of flesh! Thé destructive qualities of the animal need little emphasis. Every person is familiar with them. The animal personifies all that is hateful, destructive and warlike. "The dogs of war' is a common ex- pression, and typifies my meaning. Listen again to the myriad-minded Shakespeare, when, in "Julius Cae- sar," he exclaims: "Cry 'Havoe,' 'and let dogs of war." Why a man, otherwise apparently sane and sensible, should waste his time in tryMag to defend such a use- less creature is beyond my com* prehension. He speaks of the kind, brown eyes of a loyal dog. What are they: compared with the kind, love-lit eyes of a little child! Which does the Empire need to-day----the child or the dog? 1 am sorry that Ald. Polson's sug- gestion to tax dogs off the streets en- tirely did not pass the couneil. It loose the parents awake to the deadly menace | of the dog question, Our friend Pol- son is a little ahead of the time, that is all. : Wildam Woodrow died very sud- denly of heart trouble at Picton ou} Syusiing, March 7th, aged 83 'years, Kingston is overrun with a lot of yelpping, useless curs.
