TO MY DOG "PUG."
This clipping so exactly suits me
thai 1 appropriate it. otily chang
ing the name of the dog. s J. o.
My dog. dumb friend, low lying
there.
A willing vassal at my feet.
Glad partner of my home and fare,
My shadow in the street.
L look into your great brown eyes,
Where love and loyal homage
shine,
And wonder where the difference
lies
Between your soul and mine.
For all of good that I have found
Within myself or human kind.
Hath r oy a 11 y informed and
crowned
Your gentle heart and mind.
I scan the whole broad earth
around
For that one heart which, leal
and true
Bears friendship without end or
bound,
And find the prize in you.
I trust you as I trust the stars;
Nor cruel loss, nor scoff, nor
pride,
Nor beggary, nor dungeon bars,
Can move you from my Jde.
As patient under injury
As any Christian saint of old,
As gentle as a lamb with me,
But with your brothers bold.
More playful than a frolic boy,
More watchful than a sentinel;
By day and night your constant
joy
To guard and please me well.

Many citizens of Bastrop have
good reasons to be thankful for
burdens lifted from aching backs
which they bore patiently for
years. Scores tell about their
experience publicly. Here's a
case of it:
F.J. Prokop, Main St., Bas- £
trop, Texas, says: "For some, W
time our boy was annoyed by a | ^
weakness of the kidneys, so com-; ^
mon with children. We realized i ^
the necessity of treating his ail- ^
ment immediately and according-! ^
ly procured Doan's Kidrfey Pills
at C- Erhard A Son's drug store.
We gave them to the child in
accordance with the directions
and it was not long before his
kidneys became strong. Parents
can give this remedy to the
youngest child without any fear
of harmful effects. I heartily
endorse Doan's Kidney Pills."
