UNCLE SAN AND lis DOGS.

UNCLE SAM AND lis DOGS.
Uncle sam had two dogs. Caesar and Pom
py.
Having but 4 single bone one day after
dinner. he gave il 10 Pompey and laid down
to take a nap. lie WAS scarcely asleep Ee-
fore Caesar began to quarrel with Pompev
who was quietly gnawing his bone IN the
corner. Caesar growlei at Pompey. and
Pompev growlcd back at Caesar. Cesar
showed his teeth and briStled up his hair.
and so did pompey. Cesar put his paws on
Pompev, and Pompey knocked them of with
his paws. Caesar tried To bite rompey, and
Pompev tried To bite Caesar. In short. they
got into a fierce fight for the bone Caesar 10
get it and Pompey Ia keep IT.
In the midst Of the fiGl'. one of Uncle
Sans sons came in. 'PomPv.' says he,
."wIat are You q~uarliug abou,?'

to keep it, said Pompey.
You vile dog" SAYS DANIEL. SHOW dare
you to fight for your bone? Father gave II
to YOU To gnaw, and not To tight about
Here, Caesar, take tie bone and so saving
he kicked Pompcy ont of doors.
By this time the noise had awakened the
old gentleman, who came out TO see what
WAS the matter.
"Dan,' SAYS he, what is this about!
1.-The rascal. Pompev,' says Dan. "has been
fighting for his bone. and knowing You did
not give il To- him TO fight about, ! gave 1t to
CrSnr and kicked him out of doors"
"IInw come he TO fight for b"ne?"
..C;rsar attempted To take it away from
him."
so Caesar began the fight"
"Yes sir
All. mXson." said tbe old gentleman Will
a sigh, "you have done wrong. Pompey
would not have fought for his hone if Caesar
had not tried TO take it away from him; Sc
that Caesar is the worst dog OF the twO.-
Indeed. Pompev was only defending the bone
gave him. and vet you punish HIM and re-
warded his assnilant. II you want TO pre-
vent quarrelling among the dogs about
the bones ! give them. you must first KICK
out of doors those who fight to get them; !
those TO whom ! have given them, iheT
