And there was no more fun for me-"
Now to you or me this little song would
have sounded exactly like the braying of a
donkey, but a flock Of geese who were gra-
zing near the singer, understood donkey
language perfectly, and crowded around
him to listen. The melody wound up sud.
denly, and ceased as they approached.
"Isn't there any more?" said Mrs. Goose.
"Well,yes," answered the donkey; "there's
a great deal more, but it isn't made yet"
"Who makes it, then" asked the gan
der.
"Well," answered the donkey, modestly,
looking down at bis hOois, al doj it's my

The donkey cleared bis throat several
times, and then began again, stopping BE-
tween the two verses 10 remark that the
rope around his nose by which he was toth-
cred made livery difficult to open his mouth
wide enough.
"He tied me to q heavy cart;
And dragged my head to make me siArty
And If strove to bite or kick,
He banged about me with stick.
''Now, all along the stony roads,

And when stop to pant or puff
He cannot scold at me enough"

the donkey; "but" he added, rcgretfully;

"Beaned might do" put in the gander.
"Beaned, you know-what you say when

common word, but that's an advantage, and
it rhy mes particularly well'

rather gloomily, "but; you see, never was

"Who composed the music ?" asked Miss
Molly.
The donkey bowed SO low that there waS
no mistaking the authorship.

ularly good for musicP' said Miss Molly.
"Well," answered the donkey "as you

By this time the gatder was becoming
rather impatient of SO many fine compli-
ments
"Well," he said, "you seem to have rather
turn for this sort Of thing; it's pity you
have to spend SO much time drawing water
and fetching wood. If you had been able To-
take LESSONS in thorough bass, and study the
standard poets,you really might haye turned
out something rather good. As it is,
wouldn't advise you to spend much time on
it. Come along, my dear ladies'" And he
marched Off with his train, Miss Molly fol-
lowing reluctantly. Once she turned back
and threw a sympathising glance at the
poet, who was rolling on the grass, with sad
eyes and murmuring softly, "Fiend Fiend

hOtel-keeper. The attempted sWindle proved a 1913
ing business for the hotel, as the Americans, VINO
had been it's best patrons, have ever since gwen IL
a wide berth.
4 similar case to this happened in Rome two OF
three Winters ago. A wealthy American VINO had
been sick at one of the hotels with fever was pre-
sented his recovery with a bill emprncing the
value Of all the furniture in the room he had Oecu-
pied, including carpet and wallpaper. Inc prices
too were charged at q rate double the amount tue
furniture had ever cost The gentleman was man
of few words and the hotel proprietor refused
compromise.
You say the furniture is ruined and will have TO
be burned, do you p asked the American.
He was assured that such w0s the fact.
But you are willing should burn It myself. II 1
paw for ltP
Certainly" replied the landlord, who had no
idea Of removing piece of the furniture himself,
or that the American would either. The bill was
maid and the American ordered his courier to obtain
a cart and one or two pOrters. Within an hour the
contents Of the room were packed on dray IN the
street The hOtel-keeper expOstulated and tried 10
prevent the man from taking the goods away, Dut
the American was furious and would not have his
plans interfered with. "Now," he said 10 his cou-
rier when the last relic of the chamber had been
placed on the load, take this outside Of the CITY
gates and see that every article is burned and the
cart was driven away. But it was discovered after
ward that the courier took it to secondhand shop
and realized handsome sum from its sale.
