He s accepted In high society and fit the dog shows as a regular dog and ho looks down on the common "dawgs" who have no more ancestry ances-try than hlmoelf. ' To get Into society a dog shuld have ancestors Just like a person. Brlndlo Is an American dog. Other doss m society had their origin in Europe. They were adopted by monarchs and were made much over, consequently they became popular In society on this side or the Atlantic. Brlndlc had no royal backing. Having been Invented In the United States of America, and being the only dog who can positively posi-tively claim origin within the United States ho had trouble breaking into the "400." Wornon are responsible for the rise of the society dog. They he- : cepted Brindle and all his unaris- ' tocratlc ancestry and have paid several sev-eral thousand dollars apiece for him at times. .. . 6tr "course the Hairless -Jand the' ' Chihuahua 'dogs' have b'ec'nfaccentcd , in some stratas of society, but they had the backing of the kings of the Aztecs. The Newfoundland dog is of American origin supposedly. Thero are those who believe, however, how-ever, that the Newfoundland was brought to America by the Vikings, so even he has a better grip on the social ladder than the Boston. But the brindle Boston Terrier has climbed higher than the Newfoundland. Newfound-land. He can be found at dog parties and In most exclusive circles. cir-cles. Ho has attention when the Hairless is not noticed. If Brindle was like Black Beauty, the horse who could tell his own story, he could fill quite a. book with his rise in society. To begin with he" has on even temperament. Ho doesn't complain much if things go wrong. He has excellent manners and will do what he Is told when he can comprehend compre-hend what he is being told. When he barks he sounds as though ho was crying and that wins much sympathy. sym-pathy. He can rido around In an automobile with grace and ease. When he first appeared in Boston he was classed as a "yallar" dog. Ho had no pedigree. A few dog fanciers fan-ciers looked him over and his rise from that date Is a good lesson In morals for all persona who would t rise in the world. Brlndlo passed the examination with credit. "He Is the only American dog," announced his discoverers. They took him to the dog show. They -built up a pedigree. Today tho i I Boston terrier can bo found wherever wher-ever thero is a dog party.

"The point :.$. :.',& ' - is what was It before It Was domesticated? domes-ticated? a very probable theory to answer the latter question Is that it became domesticated bv hanging about man for leavings and scraps, attaching itself to particular groups of- nomads, and ultimately losing Its liberty as a wild animal. "But when you ask what sort of an animal it was at first, whether wolf or Jackal or some kindred creature, you find yourself faced with practically blank Ignorance. As far as history goes back man has always had his dog. In ancient Egypt and Assyria they had hunting dogs, pet dogs, mastiffs, dachshunds, greyhounds and the professor threw on the screen pictures of dogs which were pets In 600 B. C. "Tho wolf or thc Jackal wero the most probable stocks from which dogs may have sprung, said thc lecturer. lec-turer. Tho fox could be ruled out of thc nuestlon altogether. The 1 bones of the ear wero entirely dlf- ; fercnt from those of the dog, and an instance of a cross between a dog and a fox had never been ra corded." CEJrETERIES ARRANGED FOR FAVORITE DOGS. In many of the large cities there ' are dog burying grounds. The one in New York Is marked "Kanis i Rune," dog's rest. Kanis Ruhe is run in connection with a dog and cat hospital. It was started in 190C. It Is equipped with a complete set of miniature hearses, with an embalming and coffin manufacturing man-ufacturing plant and a tombstone A works. Near the iron gate that closes the entrance Is a heavy granite spiro marking the grave of Togo, a Japan- , ese spaniel, the properly of Miss H. H. Ha can, formerly of River side Drive. j On -the stone Is carved: "Brave little soul so wise and true. Wait for my soul, I'll come to you." 1 "Napoleon's" resting place is beneath be-neath a square, chunky stone of granite with the picturo of a large ; St. Bernard carved upon it. It i merely bore the date. April 7. 1909. 1 In another corner Is a small marble mar-ble headptonc in honor of an Airedale Aire-dale terrier who belonged to A. S. Bolton of Iarchmont. ..Mr. Bolton had two children. They went but. Into the sound In a boat' and tho boat upset. The dog was there. He swam ashore with t his teeth In the dress of one of them j and went back for the other. Some- j how he got tangled In some rope and was pulled under the boat. Rescuers saved the second child, but they did. not find the dog until an hour later. On a qulot gray stone are thess words: "In memory of: Jim, a brave chap who died with his head up in the performance of "hls; duty." A plain gray stone with the dates "1910 1012" marks the story of what must have been a sacrifice by a tenement family. They had lost their moncrel pup under the wheels 1 of a truck in West Fifty-ninth street, and it broko them all up. ': The children there wero five of t. them pooled tho money that was to have gctve for their Christmas j presents and the mother added a j mite out of her slender fund, and together they followed the body ! of the little yellow dog to Its final j (jesting place behind the white stone s ' wall.
