Mr. Thertell speaks of, followx: "The
best friend a man has in this world

prove uiuraielul. Those who are
neatest and dearest to us, those whom
we trust with our happiness and our
Kood name, may become traitors to

has he may lose. It flies awav from
him, perhaps when he needs It most.
A luan'H reputation may be sacrincen

ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.
Gentlemen of the jury, a man's dog
stands by him In prosperity and In
poverty. 'in health and in sickness. He
will sleep on the cold ground, where
the wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely. If only he ran be near
his master's side. He will kiss the
hand that has no food to offer, he will
lick the wounds and sores that come

the world. He guards the sleep of
his pauper master as if he were a
prince. Vhen all other friends desert
he remains. When riches take wings
and reputation falls to pieces he is as
constant In his love as the sun In Its
Jovirnev through the heavens. If for
tune drives the master forth an out
cast In the world, friendless and
homeless, the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that of accom
panvlng him to guard against danger,
to fight against his enemies, and w hen
the last scene of all comes, and death
takes the master In its embrace and
his bodv is laid away In the cold

And while he fought my enemies.
And licked 'em fair and square,

And never know a care.
The following interesting story
concerning S. t.lenn loiing, the noted
tovernment officer, and his famous
Belgian police dog, was sent from
Hickory to the Greensboro News:
"The ISclgiaii police dog, which is
one-hall Kussiau won hound, and the
oilier half intelligence, attracted
nore atieuiiou here than any dog ev
r at l raced before. He was worthy
ol not ire. Long, ;-. ml slender, a com
imiatlou between the gicvhound and
ollie, and wiih the looks of a wolf.
I'al was good to look Upon. He is 2i
mouths old, has been wounded in the
,vai and received Iter.lmcnt lit the
l amp .!;ii'kon hospital.
" That dog." said his owner, 'will
giiit r.l prisoners same as a man. I can
, in a hunch in a cncle, leave l'al iu
riiaiM' and they will be there when I
return. Or 1 can leave him in a room
with a half dozen men and they will
ta there."
'I'al will go lo a lintel office desk.
lake a key handed lo him, ring the
levator bell and ride to his room. He
will turn on the water and wallow in
the tub. He is fond of bathing.
When Mr. Young was leaving Hick
ory tor Ashetioro he leu the nog in
charge of his baggage. Including a
rifle, which were placed on a truck.
Persons who approached too close
were warned by the dog, which never
closed an eye.
"'HI had that dog.' observed a lo
cal officer. 'I could do a big business
raiding blockades. All he wants Is a
look and he does the rest. I'll say
he is some dog.'"
A I'nion county boy, who was In
the army of occupation for nearly
Ave months, has recleved an Interest
ing letter from a German glti. the
daughter of the woman In whose
house he was billeted for some time.
The letter was written In German,
but Major Hugh Hinde. who Is pro
ficient in several languages, translat
ed It with apparent ease. The letter
follows: Wiesbaden, Germany.
Pear : How are you since you are
come over the water? I hope that
you are right well. I was very sorry
indeed that I could not see you again
to say farewell and goodbye. I or
ten think of you and the sweet hour
that we spent together. M female
cousin will go to America as soon as
she can get a passpoit Much would
I wish lo go to America with her,
but I am sorry that German money
has but little value In foreign coun
tries. "We have to give as much as
102 marks for the American dollar.
A franc in Germany Is worth seven
marks forty pfennigs. A voyage to
South America costs nearly 2.000
German marks, and that Is too much
for the Journey. I hnve not Bpoken
much Kngllsh. but I will learn It lat
er. When you left Bltburg we had
more Americans than they were from
Texas or from Oklahoma and belong
ed to the PO Division. Later I will
have learned a lot more in Wiesbaden
In the town of the Court and Baths.
Here we have French occupation
troops and but few Americans. It
is horrid that you are not here still.

Jso that you roiil.t talk to us German
maidens. certainly hope that things
go well with you where you are. Tilly
is !n the English Offico so my sister
writes me. The last Americans left
here 14 days ago for home and now
there are only French in Hitburg. Il
appears there are also F.nglish there
or else Tilly could not be in an Eng
lish Office. What are you doing now-.
I hope that ton will like it belter
a civilian than as a soldier and will
do belter. Write me one lime. I ask
you how lhe means of earning a live
lihood are in America. According to
what they say here it will le pretty
hard for you in America. Write me
one time and tell me how things are
going. You can write it In English
and 1 will have il translated here in
to German. Please evruse the writ
ing for you know 1 write only Ger
man. And now farewell and beet
greetings from you. Kale Scheuern."
