"Gentlemen of the Jury: The best human friend
a man has in the world may turn against him and
become his enemy. His son or daughter mat he
I I UL I j . f

Those who are nearest and
whom we trust with our happiness
may become traitors to their faith. The money mat a
man has he may lose. It files away from him perhaps
when he needs it most A man's reputation may be sacri-
ficed in a moment of fltconsidered action. The people who
are prone to fall on their knees to do us honor when success
is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice
when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one
absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this
selfish world the one that never deceives him the one that
never proves ungrateful and treacherous is his dog.
"A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in pov-
erty in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold
ground where the wintry wind blows and the snow drifts
fiercely if only he may be near his master's side. He will
kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will tick : the
wounds and sores that come in encounter with the rougb-
of the world. He guards the
master as if he were a prince. When all other friends
desert he remains. When rjches take wings and reputation
falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as the sun in its
Journeys through the heavens. If fortune drives the master
forth an outcast in the world friendless and homeless the
faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accom-
panying to guard against danger to fight against his
enemies and when the last scene of all comes and when
death takes the master in' its embrace and his body is
away in the cold ground no matter if all
other friends pursue their
graveside may the noble dog be found
his head between his paws his eyes sad
but open in alert watchfulness faithful
and true even in death."
