I missed you dreadfully, Buster.” “And I missed you, too, Bruce. Xon've no idea' of bow much I missed you.” And both dogs meant what they said for they were very, very great friends. “Well, the children went to a big school In a very crowded part of the city. * , “One day’I got lost But you know I I couldn't help i t The city wag very -confusing and puzzling to ■me.” • "And In that dice .big school th ey announced in the assembly where all the children appeared at the first of the morning that ! had been lost. “And they described the kind of a dog I was and all about me and about the collar 1 to re for those who did not happen to know me, “Of course l liud made tunny, many friends but I didn't know nil the chil­ dren, You can't know them nil in a city school, Bruce. “Doesn’t that seem strange?’' “That seems' very strange,” said Bruce. “I don't know that I would like that. "Now, do you know, I was Just go­ ing to ask you If you were found," , Bruce grinned. “That would have been ns foolish a question as there could have been. Quite as foolish a question as there could ever be,” Bruce added, “Of course you were found but tell me about it," “Well, as 1 say, they announced that .I was lost, That noon when there was recess many of the boys and girls went in different directions all over the neighborhood thinking I might -have lost my way not far from school but far enough so as. to be puzzled, "But I found my owta way back! . Yes, 1 had gone a longer dtstauqe than I had meant'to and then-had become yery much puzzled. “But I found my way back, I’m thankful to say, and Bra always happy to think how many fine boys and dear girls went looking for me. . “It showed we liad'so many friends! And I love,friends. • “That very afternoon It snowed,” Buster continued, “and Up snowballs that those children made-—Uiey were great. I used to think they didn’t care fdr snow much in the city and that city children couldn’t appreciate snowballs, but they can, Bruce, oh yes, they can! “But' here I am talking away the time and I want to hear your story," “Oh,” suid Bruce, “a friend of my master wanted to take my picture and the friend said: “ ‘Now look pleasant!’ * * “So I-looked ‘pleasant’ and wagged , my tall to show how vfery plensant I could be when having my picture taken. “Well, It seems they didn’t want me to look pleasant with my tail for when my tall moved it.Spoilt the pic­ ture. Dear me, the idea of telling a dog to look plensant and expecting him to keep his tail 'fctill !- That hr about the fuimlest thing 1 ever heard of, Buster.” “I think it Is the very funniest thing I ever heurd of,” said Buster, “I t Is perfectly ridiculous,” “And I loved yolir story, too, Bus- ter, for.I jthlnk it seems fine to think of a school that thinks 6f the dogs as -well as the children of the neigh­ borhood." But both dogs began to-. iangli again, for the thought of being told to look pleasant and keep one’s tail still was quite the funniest thing dogs could hear. 1{Copyright,> / y USSSi!

Thut is sound, unassailable truth In the ^fewest possible words. Alongside that condensation of wis­ dom I have filed away in my mem­ ory the three-word statement that I heard an advertising solicitor use the other day in convincing a prospective, buyer, of publicity that advertising would-be the best possible Investment that .he could, make. These were the three words he used: "Telling Is selling,” That comes pretty near reducing the statement of wlmt advertising is to the fewest' possible words and stating it in the simplest possible way, To a greater or lesser degree every human being Is an advertiser.

A PARADOX A YOUNG man walked Into the of­ fice of the ipresident of one of our large institutions of - technology with an invention, securely wrapped, which he held under Ills arm! Before uncovering'his invention lie demanded that'all the blinds lie drawn and ti - doors closed. After this was don^ he carefully untied the bundle and with grave cantiou explained to the presi­ dent of the Instituloq the merits oi his achievement. Said the wise presi­ dent, “Before that invention will be of any service to you or anybody else, all these blinds must be put up and all the doors opened," The young 'man could pot understand that the lesson lie was being taught was thut (lie only way we cart possess anything Is first to give It,away, One of nature's strange paradoxes, is that a thing Is multiplied by being divided, and that addition Is possible only by subtraction. The abundant harvest is made possible because the grains of wheat' subtract from the soil the essential elements for tlielt growth. Through the process known us cell division ,we tiave animal life, Nature has no place for a static law She will not tolerate a vacuum. Na­ ture Is always giving herself freely and the ,moresi$fie gives the; more she has to give. , ■ Til the world of Ideal's, purposes anti moral forms the same law operates. Giving Is absolutely essential to pos­ session. A cojn uninvested- does us no good. It earns nothing nor does It bring‘us .anything worth-while. A hurled talent offers ,us no reward Only as we give our talent away does It bring to us any satisfaction., in proportion as we give ourselves tc others do we, possess happiness. Silas Mnrner kept his gold stored away in hags deposited beneath the Moor oi his room. One night he found little Eppfe beside his hearth fire. He fell the golden locks; they were real and wann.

In* proportion ns we give, we receive. The only way we can have anything Is to give it away.

An enrap­ tured visitor long age declared it to be “ a garden spot so lovely it seems to have beeq dropped from k fairy tale.” The magnificence and the enchant­ ment of this fairy-like place grovy with passing years. Each Mureh mid April it uuuAds a riotous glory %t azalea, lapoufeu and wisteria blossoms, which run the gamut of color from the most, delicate-shades of heliotrope and pink to Uie deepest shades of purple—per­ fuming the country-roundabout, These gardens are almost n can- air)’ old. Part of a large and worthy csir.te known as Maguolla-on-the-Ash- ley, they were so named because a Reverend Drayton who planned them brought to then) from far-off places u famous azalea end other rure plants. • The flower beds are laid out with backgrounds of vines and shrubs, set down amid undent and ponderous .trees. The picture so stirred Owen Wister, the author, that he wrote: “I have seen gardens, many ga'-ious. In Englund, in France, In Italy; I nave seen what can be done In great hot­ houses, and on greut terraces; what run he doue under a root, und what can be done in the open air with the aid of architecture and sculpture, und ■irnamented land and water, but no horticulture that I have seen devised by mortal man approaches the earthly enchantment of these azaleas/’ A D A I R ’ S Living Room Week! ’ BEGINNING SATURDAY Qf all occasions, nothing can he on a par with th is event, It presents to every householder a sterling opportunity to replenish the home with a new Living' Room Suite, Come and see.
