Sometimes Reynolds, the dog, would think he had been called and he would rush along to the one who had called, and when he got there and politely wagged his tall though to say, “Yes, what is it?" he found that he had not been wanted at all. Sometimes when Reynolds, the boy, went to the one who had called he would find a nice bone there which, of course, was meant for Reynolds, the dog. But, in spite of these little mis takes, everything else went very smoothly. Reynolds, the dog, was very nice. Reynolds, the boy, wns very nice, too. Now, tlie mother of Reynolds, the boy, owned an automobile, and Rey nolds, the boy, and Reynolds, the dog, both loved motoring. They liked to see such a gr^nt many things as they did when they were on a ride. Oh, riding was great, great fun. Reynolds, the dog, became so used to it that he began to hate walking and running. Reynolds, the boy, did not like to have to run errands so very much— the motor got to places so quickly. But he still did enjoy running and games and all such things. Reynolds, the dog, did not care really about exercise after a time. It was all anyone could do to get him to take u walk. They would say: “Come, Reynolds, good dog, we’ll have a walk.” Reynolds always looked much dis appointed. If they had suggested a | ride it would have been different. It was such fun to sit up in the car and sniff the air and to let his ears flap back and rest, but yet see what was going on. Oh, it was de lightful, indeed. But Reynolds, the boy, thought that Reynolds, the dog, needed ex ercise. So he would say: “Come, Reynolds, you’re getting lazy, you really must have some ex ercise. “We will have a little run and maybe we will walk to the village.” Well, Reynolds, the dog, did not m i n d it s o much when they walked s •m % /• L7 1 / 1 mm [ t, y' A. “Come, Reynolds, You’re Getting Lazy. to the village. When they went off into the coun try he did not like it, for that really meant walking and running and plenty of exercise. When they went to the village Reynolds, the dog. had thought up a little trick, a very excellent little trick, he thought. He would pnss along by the auto mobiles which were standing outside the stores in the village and he would jump up on the running boards of the cars as though to say: “Here I am, all ready for an in titation.” In this way the walks to the vil lage were greatly interrupted by many stops, for at each stop Rey nolds, the boy, would have to urge Reynolds, the dog, to come along. Now one day Reynolds, village. the hoy. had walked to the Reynolds, the dog, had been sleeping on the back porch and Reynolds, the boy, had thought he would not bother to awaken him for so short a walk. After Reynolds, the boy, had been gone a little while his mother thought she would take a ride In the automobile and do a few errands In the village. So she called Reynolds, the dog. and asked him to go along, too. In the village they passed Rey nolds, the boy, walking. His mother thought on her»way back she would pick ish him up, but that she would fin what she had to do first. Rey nolds, the boy, called out to Rey nolds, the dog, but he held his head high. He did not notice those wi.o were walking. But later lie wns very sorry he had been such a snobbish dog, and when Reynolds talked to him he hung Ids little tall between his legs and was ashamed that he had been a snoli. <©. 19Z4.

Arnold** Wife Shared in Husband*» Disgrace April 8, 1770, Gen. Benedict Ar nold and Margaret, better known as l’eggy Xhippen, were married In Philadelphia. The marriage wartime was the culmination of a ro mance. The groom, theaf a trusted subordinate of General Washing ton, was later to become the most excoriated man in American his tory. Arnold's Most unspeakable every one has treason, heurd and of j even of his love affair with the charming Peggy. It was certain that his wife was in absolute ignorance of Arnold’s sad adventure. Indeed, ns soon as the traitor was sure' of his own safety he wrote to General Wash ington asserting his wife’s Inno cence, find saying: ‘7 beg she may be permitted to return to her friends in Philadelphia, or come to me, as she may choose.” Washing Ion, who was a Just man, believed in her innocence. He offered to send her with an escort to Philadel phia, or to put her under a flag of truce on the king’s ship, Vulture. She chose the former and arrived in Philadelphia about October 1, 1780, says the Detroit News. But she had not been there a month when the council adopted a resolu tion ordering her to leave the city and not to return during the war. Five years later she came home again, but was treated with so much coldness and neglect, even by those who had encouraged her marriage, that she left again, never to re turn. She remained with Arnold during the remainder of his broken and disgraced life. He died in Lon don, an embittered and sad man, without a country.

NEGRO RESIDENCE BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE SUNDAY The residence of Will Sims, ne gro, at the corner of East Slaton avenue and Brewner street, was heavily damaged by fire about 6 o’clock Sunday afternoon, caused from a defective chimney, The fire had gotten good headway when the department was called. The loss is covered by insurance. Mrs. D. W. Patterson, who fell and broke her hip Saturday af ternoon, is resting well at the Griffin Hospital. Recorded Their Fear of Premature Burial Fears of premature burial have resulted In the formation of a so ciety to effect reforms In the law of death certification, writes Arthur Pen deny s in John o’ London’s Weekly. There Is, however, noth ing new In thebe fears. The Egyp tians kept the bodies of the dead under careful supervision by the priests previous fo embalming and until satisfied that life was extinct. The Greeks were aware of the dan gers pf premature burial and often cut off the fingers of a person be lieved to be dead before cremation. In modern times, the fear of be ing burled alive has haunted many. Wilkie Collins had this fear, and always left overnight on his enjoining dress ing table a note solemnly deil, that, should he be found his S u p po s ed death was to be carefully tested by a doctor. Hans Anderson always carried a note In his pdcket to the same effect. Harriet Mar tineau left her doctor $50 to see that her head was amputated be fore burial. Hold Tortoise in Esteem The tortoise, in the flowery em pire of Japan, is regarded as a sym bol of youth and is venerated. Wed ding garments have tortoises paint ed on them, as also have New Year’s gifts. A legend heard in China states that the tortoise is supposed to have home upon its shell the basis of moral teachings and the secrets of the unseen. It is more revered in 'China than among practical Japanese. When fishermen around any of the sea ports haul a large one in with their catch, they find a Chinese merchant to buy it. The Chinaman then carves his name on the shell, that the animal may know to whom it owes its life, and taking it out Into deep water allows it to go free, thus insuring a prosperous long life for himself. Symbolic Indian Masks According to the Bureau of Amer ican Ethnology, tribes of Indians throughout North America wore masks at religious festivals and at some social gatherings. Sometimes the priests alone were masked, though in other cases the entire company ,would appear In masks. The false faces generally repre sented supernatural beings. The simplest form of mask was one pre pared from the head of a buffalo, deer, or some other animal. The mask stood, not for the actual ani mal, but for the type of animal and Its supernatural character istics, and the person wearing It was for the time being endowed with the distinctive quality of the animal.
