A Dog St0rE,

"Cat stories, and "dog stories are get

Almost every editor has a few by way oI
spice. SO we put in for our turn. Bciuc
IN butchers shop one day, and seeing
large dog come in to ge! his daily al.
loWance OF meat, the conversation turned
upon dogs, and the following story was
tod IN relation to dog in tie ncighbor-
hood. The name Of the owner of the doc
/ we nave forgotten, but that is no matter.
the story IS just as good: This gentle
man gave a cent to the dog every dav.
d the dog ntreguIarIyto the butchers
and laid down the money, and in return
received piece of meat, One day the
dog laid down his cent on the block as
usual. The butcher being busy with the
customers did not notice the deDosit. Az
Ter sometime, however, seeing a cent lie
there he put il in bis pocket and went to
work. The dog got tired Of waiting and
went home dnnerIess. The next d9v he
came again with another cent which he
laid before the man of meat. The allow
ance OF meat was cut off and handed 10 the
canine purchaser But the dog, intending
10 nave the account balanced, no sooner
had he received the meat, than he grabbed
the cent also and cleared out.
That was sharp dog, and one that in.
ended to "Iook out for number one"
lie could be trusted to make a BARGAIN.
ma we dare say he could carry on a spec
'Iaiion IN provisions, quite as well as some
urs who do not number but half his a.
