Fen For Ther Masters and fey Fee
the Deg&
The most tun provoking cdebratlom
took place in a private stable last
Cbriscmas. Several bon determined
that their dogs should not go unre-
membered on the gift day. Their
scheme grew out of a story one of the
boys beard about a gushy wbeee blg
dog Frits was regularly a member of
the Cbrlstmu party. Tela was an
Interesting dog.
Christmas day Frits was always
dignified. When tie family gtther'ed
around the tree be used to sit up
straight near the fireplace and watek
the proceedtp gravely. Then was
always something for bim o0 the tree,
and Fritz didn't mind It every Christ-
mas brought the game things for 1t was
a titbit exceedingly tasteful to him,

were put in a paper covered parcel
loosely tied with ribbon. When Priebe

ly, cross the room slowly wltb a re-
spectful wagging of his tai, receive
the parcel in his mouth aid return
with It to his place. Then, without
undue haste or exhibition of greed, be
would tear away ribbon and paper
and crunch the bones contentedly dur-
ing the rest of the evening.
The youngsters who elaborated on
this plan did not meet with the live -
last encouragement from their par-
ents.
arents. There was probably a doubt
whether all the pets of tbe neighbor-
hood would have tbe sagacious dignity
of Frits. After pleading the boys ob-
tained permission to have a special
celebration for their dogs in the sable.
Accordingly there was a tree, and. be-
sides presents of bones, there were
new collar, blankets, harness and
such other affairs as dogs are sup-
posed to admire or need
Not only their own pets, but those
of their friends, were Invited to the
dogs' Christmas tree. Prises were
given to the animals who excelled In
running queer races, for jumping and
other canine tricle. It was a jolly
party, and it le doubtful whether boys
or dogs enjoyed It most
