Text Appearing Before Image:
dog is big and comes of a vigorous race,No other dog in Europe has traveled at such a pace.He has journeyed with, the earth in its course around the sun^Fighting many battles and in most of them has won. IN PROSE AND RHYME. 103 XLVI. GERMAN DOG. The Teutonic mastiff, with his philosophic mind,Sends forth great stores of wisdom from the land where flows the Rhine.With much, thoroughness he studies and excels most other dogs,For he knows just where hes going and is never lost in fogs.He has a noble heritage bequeathed by Frederick the Great,Which from small beginnings has become a large estate,In war hes been victorious, his eagles soaring high,In peace no less successful, what dogs can pass him by? XLVILTHE MEXICAN DOG. The Mexican dog knows sorrow, and has suffered many woes.But invaders all took warning when Maximilian found repose. XLVIILTHE DOGS OF GEEECE. Old dogs of Greece, your bark still echoes round the globe.For art and learning, none wear your robes. 104 DOGS OF ALL NATIONS

XLIX. RUSSIAN DOG. Russia, kingdom of the Czar and the Nihilist as well,Have some good dogs who in many things excel,But a hundred millions neither read nor write,To them lifes battle is a hard and up-hill fight. L. THE TURKISH DOG. The Turkish dog owes a debt that one day must be paid.And twill not be long, till all join in the raid. IN PROSE AND RHYME. 105
