- Anyway, it can be said in this lady’s favor that she would not take a bull into a china shop. She does not have a bull. Artist George Hughes pities the distraught lamp vender, and that is nice of Hughes, but our heart goes out to Bernie, the St. Bernard, who is assuming that the little guy on the table waving the Chinese shillelagh wants to play. Those lamps are 10 per cent off, but when Bernie arises and wags his tail, some of them will be 100 per cent off. Whereupon Bernie will be bitterly criticized for trying to get along pleasantly with the human race. Seems to us it is more humane to break things in stories by bringing in little children. They can at least vaguely understand what they get in the doghouse for.
