turned out botch job, and name the job
We guarantee our customers good work, and
if it does not suit them when it is done they
need not take it. The trouble with the
7x9 folks is that they are CALLED TO know
that our business is increasing every month.
and that we have had more work than we
could do the past three months, which are
generally the dullest in the year. Had the
individuals who run that concern attended to
their business, and not tried to iniure US by
every means they could devise. it might have
been better to day, and they would not be so
anxious to sell and get out oft town. We we're
forced into cutting prices to protect our
selves, and we intend to continue ii until

A Knowing Dog.

Ethel is never tired of talking about
her dog Flash. One Of his accomplish
ments, she tells me, is his graceful way
of setting the table.
When it is time for Flash to have his
dinner, his master says, "Fiash. bring
the table cloth :"
OH he runs to the newspaper rack,
gets paper, and lays it at his masters
feet. "Spread it OUT" is the next
command.
Quickly he opens the paper. to its full
extent, and places it on the floor care
fully. He waits patiently for the bones
that are to reward his obedience. When
they have been put on the clean
"table-cloth," he begins his nice feast.
Dinner over, Flash picks up the paper
cloth and carries it out of the room for
the cook to burn.
Ethel says that Flash can tell time;
for at just such minute every day the
dog comes to his master, sits up
straight. with his front paws dropping
gracefully, ant asks, ia his dumb way,
tor something to eat. And when the
time comes for his master to 60 down
town to business, Flash is sure to give
him hint; for Flash is very punctual.
you see, and does not approve OF delay.
One day Flash brought an intimate
friend, q red setter, and introduced
him to his master. Flash stood wag-
ging bis tail. while the caller was po-
litely caressed. Then the two dogs
trotted off together, and Flash's play
mate had new name to put on bis
visiting list. -Nursery.
