OUR DUMB FRIENDS
QNCE when Abraham Lincoln was riding on horseback, and wearing his best clothes, he encountered a pig in a bog. He rode past, but went back and liberated the pig—and spoiled his clothes. “The mean look the pig gave me made me too uncomfortable, and I just had to go back,” remarked Abe afterwards. Those who own pet dogs should go home to-day and look old faithful in the eye, and say slowly that they have failed to give to the only organisation which stands between Towser and a very bad deal. The dog’s eye can be relied on to do what the pig did to Abe Lincoln. If that fails, then no other appeal will prove efficacious to produce funds for the S.P.C.A.’s street appeal to-day.
