Dog Refuses Greeting The collie was lying nose be tween his paws, by the lodge veranda when the canoe returned. Usually he romped toward the president when he saw him, but tills time he did not move, not even when Mr. Coolidge and the guide walked over to him. His (eyes, however, never left the prsident's face. i "Robert, how are you?" ventur ed Mr. Coolidge, but there was no reaction from the dog. Mrs. Coolidge came down the iveranda steps and stooped to pet the' collie, remarking, "why. Rob. that's the president, don't you Know nun " Rous reelings were too badly hurt lo bo soothed by a few words and It took him some ftinio to recover.
