—
Two well known and popular
canine members of the com
munity reached the end of life’s
brief slpan during the past few
days; one by the normal pro
cesses of nature, manifested in
•senility, the other by accident.
The first was old ‘Joe,”
Scotch terrier pet of Mr. and
Mrs. T. H. Evans, who sought
a secluded spot in the woods
near the Evans home and there
quietly paid his final debt to
nature; the second was Holger
Johnson’s black and white
spaniel, “Pal,” who was run
over by a truck while evading
the hostile assaults of two eth
er canines and failed to see his
danger.
Both were first rate citizens
as dog's go, and good fellows;
kind to children and constant
and faithful companions to
their masters. Por this reason
we are glad to pay a tribute,
if not of sighs, at least of kind
ly praise. Some unfeeling
ones’ may laugh at us foi de
voting a stick of type to re
cording their passing; others
may think that news must be
pretty scare or we would not
spend our i.ime writing obit
uaries for dumb brutes.
But to both of these we will
say that a good dog is the clos
est thing to a man we have ob
served in our years of life
and more to be admired than a
let of men—like Dillinger, for
instance.
Also, we mav add, writing
an obituary for a good dog
is a far pleasanter task than
writing, as convention fre
quently decrees, kind words
concerning tvpes of humans
whose lives and deeds are a
disgrace to the human race and
an abor ion of all that is true
and noole in finite existence
