He was a happy staephsrd dog; and be 'was wondrous wise. It was dog-wisdom only, but you saw It in his eyes. He knew all ihat I said to him; was ready to obey: And if some people were as wise—that's all I've got to any.
He was a handsome felloe, was faithful, kind and true.
But mankind's ways oft puzzled talm—'strange, what a man can do!'
He pondered over this so much he scarce knew what to think;
So, he looked at me with speaking eyes, and gave a knowing wink.
He spoke. Indeed, but It was with those big, brown kindly eyes.
He never bothered anyone; and he would tell no lies.
He spoke, too, with his bushy tall, and his decislTe bark.
And though he could not sign his name, he always made his mark.
But to this one conclusion he always came at last, "I am my master's collie; to my master I'll hold fast; For he's my loving owaer; and he's my life-long friend. I love him and I'll follow him unto the very end!"
We rambled through the shady woods; we lay down on the grass And what a happy time we spent aa the sunny moments passed. And In the water how he swam and splashed, oh, what a dog! I truly think he was as good a swimmer as a frog.
He had a warm and shaggy coat, and in the winter time He loved to lie down In the snow; and thia he felt wae prime. And with his big brown speaking eyes It seemed as If he said: "This place is far superior to the softest feather bcd."
Poor Toby died some years ago, I never can forget Those loving looks, those speaking eyes, of him my faithful pet. Don't give your heart too much to dogs, though e'er so good and true: For their poor lives are very short, their good years v^ry few.
If you have sons and daughters you have treasuree greater far
Than all the dogs or pussy cats or all the horses are.
And so I say unto you, parents, especially the wife.
Oh! lead your little ones to Christ, who gives eternal life.

Ann Arbor, Mich.-Uow much Is a college yell worth? Does $1,000,000 seem like a high price for a real ear splitting, welkin wrecking campus cheer?
Capitalizing a college yell at $1,000,- 000 may sound like frenzied flnance. but tbat is what the alumni of tbe Uni¬ versity of .Michigan have done. The Michigan yell, that battlecry of the Wolverene whicb has resounded on dia¬ mond and track and field from Penn¬ sylvania to California and from Minne¬ sota to Tenne.ssee, will ring out from tidewater to tidewater of the U. S. A. on the night of Oct. '2. Its thunderous notes will si^iiiiil that evening to Michigan alumni tho country over that the campaign to raise a million dollar fund for the Michigan union bas be¬ gun.
The sl.Tty years of public service ren¬ dered by .lames B. Angell In education, diploniiuy and journalism are to be crowned by the building In his honor of a .?1.0f(f)/)00 structure on the cam¬ pus of tbe University of Michigan. The citizens of Michigan and Dr. .\n-

The plan of the general committee on tho union [iroject is to draw into the.se various centers for the smokers all Michigan alumni from the tributary districts, so as to have in attendance at what will be in effect a nation wide smoker all the hosts of the maize and blue the land over. ^Eaeb partleular meeting will be opened on a signal given in .Vnn .\rbor, the seat of the University, l)y the pressing of an elec¬ tric button by the president of the Uni¬ versity of .Michigan.

CmmoIs om Ciiteua Dobt of SO C«nts In Town of Doy hood.
Watertown, N. Y.—Frank W. Wool- worth, many times a millionaire, is worth at least SO cents less than when Im arrived bere. It was a persistent creditor known far and wide In this section as •'Hucklel)erry Charlie" Sher¬ man that took Mr. Woolworth's meas- ar«.
Forty years ago, when the big syn¬ dicate man and "UH<kleberry Charlie" played aa boys In tbe lields near Greut Bend, the future multimillionaire need¬ ed Jnst 50 cents to go to a circus that had struck town. On Charlies money they both saw the show. ,
Recently, as Mr. Woolworth alighted from his automobile, ('harlle was on hand to press his claim. Mr. Wool- worth did not temporize. He acknowl¬ edged thc debt, and, what's more, he paid It.
"We are both from the same town, you know," explained Mr. Woolworth after the settlement. "It seems good to see Charlie once more, even If It has cost me half a djllar. Anyway, that was the best show I ever saw."

BODY IS MOTIONLESS IN 'AIR.
Italian Gets Wonderful Results From New 8l<y Apparatus.
Paris.—Louis Itoia, au Italian en¬ gineer, has solved the problem of hold¬ ing an object motionless in space, ac¬ cording to tile Marseilles correspondent of Petit Parlsien. Itota is credited with having constructed an apparatus which, by the action of ele<-trle currents, cau be elevated to a height of 2,<X)0 to 3,00(i feet and kept motionless, or propelled In an.v direction at a speed of more than 100 miles an hour.
Itota's apparatus is spindle shaped, twelve feet long and two feet iu diame¬ ter, and can carry a weight of ninety pounds. It is said to remain motion¬ less in a wind <if consideralilc velocity, but if the wind becomes very strong It rises automatically nntil it reaches'a calmer region of the air. Thc invention is based upon reactions obt,'lined from the electromagnetic forces of the at¬ mosphere.
No more tiresome trips to the city, just a few steps to Bert's Specialty Shop for ladles' coats, suits, corsets, skirts and millinery. ^
One Year Has Cost More Than Esti¬ mated Value of All Property of Unitod States West of Mississippi. Would Pay National Debts ef All Nations.
Philadelrihia.—llev. Dr. J. Henry Smythe, wlltor. author, traveler, lec¬ turer, chancellor of the American uni¬ versity, Tenne.ssee. two years ago last February made the following startling prophecy while siH'aklng at Knoxvllle:
"One hundred .years or more ago Na¬ poleon, In the fiery flush of manhood's mornbig, was nnister of all France. The lOgjpthin and the .Vustrlan cam¬ paigns were over. Kussia was invade<l, England was threatene<l. Simin was sulijugated.
"The whole continent of Europe was prostrate and paralyzed. Millions of armed men were In the fleld, and con- fli<t and carnage raired from the Tiber to the ThanTes, But .Nelson pounded Xapolecni on Hie se:i, un<l Wellington pounded him upon the land, and to¬ gether they pounded him to pieces. Elba and Waterloo were'but thc blocxl stained stepping stones to St. Helena,
"If you will stand with me tunigbt at the hinges of history and look aloug Ihe sky line of current events you wlll see that war is simmering in evcry arsenal of Europe and every w.-ive thai breaks upon the shore Is red with blood. Yet Tientsin and Port .Vrthur. Havana harbor and Manila bny were but the sblfthig scenery, moved by tbe bidden hand of God. in thc awful and unending tragedy of time."
"We estimate the cash cost of the European war to Aug. 1, 1915, at $17,- 000,000,000," says Dr. Smythe, "while other known losses wlll amount up to make a grand total of $40,000,000,000, No one can have even the faintest con¬ ception of what IM(i,000,000,000 may be. It is fonr times all the coin In the world. If this sum were measured out in twenty dollar gold pieces und they weie placed side by side on the rail¬ way track, on each rail, they would cover with gold every line from New York to the Pacific ocean, the two Canadian lines Included, There would bc enough left over to cover each rail of the Siberian railway from Vlitdivos- tok to I'etrogrud. There would still remain sulJi'-ient lo rclinblUtatc Bel¬ gium and to buy the whole of Turkey, at her own valuation, wiping her flnall.v nnd forever from tho map.
"Or we may figure in some other fashion. The average workin.trman In America ear.is .$518 per year. It would take OO.OOfMKiO years' work to pay the cost of tbe war up to date, or DO.OOO.OtKj Americnn laborers might pay It off in one year if all their living expenses were paid.
"The cost of a year of tlie great war is a little more than the estimated viUue of all Ihc projierty of the ITnlted State* west nf the Mfssissi])pi river. It is nearly equal t<> the total value of all fhe r>ro|ierty in flennany. .$4H,<XXI.- (KiO.Odfi. as estiinated in IDOli.
