young baby. The infant was greatly adj
mired by dainty little damsel, who dis
played several handsome young puppies
Of which she was very proud. The visiting
lady admired them greatly, and asked the
fond owner if she would be willing to eX-
change one Of them for her baby. Miss
Wisdom hesitated moment, CHANGING
from one species of the infant kingdom to
another, then replied: ''Well, no, L don't
