horse, Jim came out and you
never saw a boy so astonished.
he puckered up his mouth and
let out an "O-h-h-h !" as long
as one of the icicles on the shed.
The 'jounce' threw Major off
heels over head in front of the
sled, and he got caught between
the rnners and pushed into a
deep snow drift, that filed his
mouth and eyes and ears full,
and made him as white as q
sheep all over.
When Jim saw that Major
wasn't hurt, he laughed and
roared, and called the dog into
the back door where his mother
WAS, and said !: m
s 81 sss.se's a feller that's been
running away with my sled, and
coasting; and the sled ran away
with him. and busted him good.
I guess you'd better brush him
of, and see if bis feet are wet,
and toast his shins before the
CRATE, and tell him he cant go
out again tonight.
And when his mamma found
it was the dog she saw the joke,
and laughed, too, and let Jim
stay out half an hour later, and
didn't tell him to sBe careful r
and "Don't get cold,' and "Be
sure you come in on time !" and
Don't go near the hill till you
learn to steer" over seventeen
times. Wasn't she an nncom-
monty good mamma? = The

The Coasfirlg Dog.

Once there was a young
"skeeswax" of g boy, named Jim,
who had a big Newfoundland
dog that he called Major. He
was a very black, curly, hand
some dog, good-natured and full
of fun, you know-he loved fun
as well as his master-and his
master loved it better than mo-
lasses candy. He loved g joke,
too, for once when he was Urot-
ting along to the Post Office
with a basket in his mouth, as
he had been taught TO do, for
the mail, a little snarling cur
ran out at him, barking with all
might. He had bothered Major
often before, and this time the.
old fellow dropped his basket
and caught the little cur right
around the back in his great
mouth, picked him up and car
ried him about ten rods and
dropped him. It would have
made you laugh to see that lit
tie snarling pup go bowling for
home, with his tail hugged tight
between his legs.
Well, one winter Jim used to
coast every day. The hill was
just CLASSY, and the sleds tipped
down swift as an arrow. Major
went out with the boys, and he
could keep up with them very
well climbing the hill, but when
they started down, they soon
left him way behind. He didn' t
like this at all, and 80 when jim
left his sled to go to supper
after he had been called as
usual three times, once by Mag
gle, the girl, who hollered ::
"Masther annie supper is
ready, shure, COON in to wannstl"
by his mother, who said:
/" Jim-nae I come-to-supper-this
minnit!!'' and last by his father,
who just said JIM" aud
crooked his thumb toward the
house in a way that let Jim
know something else would crook
if he didn't mind Major waited
outside. When his lite master
was stuffing himself with baked
potatoes and brown bread, the
dog took the rope in his teeth
and dragged the sled up the
little hill.
When he got to the top, he
stopped, turned the sled around,
as he had seen the boys do, and
then began to think-as much
as to say: "Ought a dog to slide
belly-bunt. or side-fashion or
sitting up?" He didn't know
whether to steer with his tail, or
his fore feet, OF his hind feet.
But slide he must and so he
jumped on, caught the rope in
his teeth and started down, let
ting the sled steer itself, while
be sat up and watched the fun.
Down, down it went. Major
hanging on, but looking pretty
well scared. just as the sled
got near the "jounce, at the
bottom, going like a runaway
