Immediately the whole congregation. which had
hitherto been extremely quiet and attentive.

There was much surrounding cachination
where this circumstance WAS mentioned, the
other evening. A nan who was "somedele''
fond Of Holsters. was wistlnlly regarding a bask-
ct Of them in the market, with his dog by his
side, while another bystander was sticking the
end Of his cane into one Of the dseugaged claws
Of big fellow at the top. "How lie does hold
on!" sald the man with the cane. "Yes," re.
sponded the man with tie dog, "but its be.
cause he dents the cane, and bis claws won't
slip on the wood but he couldn't hold On to q
crltter, or you, or I, in that way. When he feels
anything grin, lobster always stops pinchin'.'
"Guess not" said the owner Of the basket.
" You put your dogs tnil In that there claw,
and you'll see whether he'll hold ont OF not.''
No sooner said than. done. The lobster.lore1
lifted up his dog, dropped his tail into the open
claw, which closed iustauter. and the dog, !as
smit By sudden pain" ran off bowling q: The top
Of bis speed. "uello!' exclaimed the owner.
"whistle back -FOUR dog, d-n him he's run
min off with ms lobster"' "Whistle b ck vour
lobster!" rcjoined the other; "that dog ain't
coming back; that dogs in pain. l cau't get
