Does a Dog Ponder Immortality? Ask This One, He Knows When a dog fell into the icy waters of Lake Michigan at the Maple avenue beach last Tuesday and all of bis efforts to scramble up over the icy cliffs that line the shore resulted in just so many small furrows in the ice's surface, it is probable that he experi- enced all of the qualms and misgivings of the condemned as to the probability or improbability of the immortality of a dog's soul. Be that as it may, certain it is that he was in the last stages of exhaus- tion, drowning and freezing when Richard Houren, son of Chief G. M. Houren of the Winnetka Fire depart- ment, arrived in the capacity of a "friend in need." Nor was he reluc- tant to share his cold bath when Mr. Houren, aided by a length of rope and a Winnetka police squad, elected to doff a part of his clothing and drop over the edge of the pier to the rescue. While Mr. Houren rather expected to be fully immersed, he was agreeably surprised to find that ice had sunk to the bottom of the lake forming a false bottom about waist deep. Speedily wading out to the dog he carried him back to the pier where the twain were hoisted out bv the police. Neither have sustained any ill effects from their cold plunge.
