VETO 



Just a roly-poly, comical little puppy he was 

 when given to Lady Henry Somerset, in Rei- 

 gate, England. 



Frances E. Willard was Lady Henry's gue':t 

 at the time, and she took a great fancy to the 

 brown curly-haired spaniel whose dark, hand- 

 some eyes, full of life and affection, watched 

 her with a very knowing look as she taught him 

 clever little tricks. 



Perhaps you think Veto a queer name for a 

 dog, but it was just right for this wise little 

 fellow, who was an out and out temperance dog. 

 In England the word "veto" means to vote 

 against, or veto, the selling of strong drink. 

 Another reason why Veto was a true temperance 

 dog was that he had one white fore-foot, which 

 Miss Willard called his "white-ribbon paw." 



One day we were singing our beautiful W. 

 C. T. U. song, "We All Belong." As we sang 

 the words, 



"Each one a part of the white-ribbon band," 

 Miss Willard waved her pretty hand at Veto
