The Dog and tho Bees

A dog, being annoyed by bees, ran,
quite accidentally, into an empty barrel
lying on the ground, and, looking out at
the bung hole, addressed his tormentors
thus:
"Had you been temperate, stinging me
only one ct q time, you might have got q
good deal Of fun out Of me. AS 1t Is, you
have driven me into secure retreat; for
can snap you up as fast as you come In
through tho bung hole. Behold the folly
Of incorporate zeal.
When he had concluded, he awaited q
reply. There wasn't any reply; for the
bees had never gone near the bung hole;
they went in tho same way as he did, and
made it very warm for him.
Tho lesson Of this fable is that one can
not stick to his pure reason wfilo quar-
rcling with bces.-Ambrose q. Bicrco.

when man announces himself as q candi-
date the Government must provide ballot
box for him. If ten men announce them
selves as candidates for Mayor, separate
box is set up for each candidate and every
voter must vote in each of the ten boxes"
"Then each candidate would get the
same number of votes l should think"
"That is possible, but never knew it

Each ballot is divided into black and a
white compartment with a funnel in the
middle. Every voter is given white balls
and black balls, and putting his hand
down in the funnel drops them as he
chooses. A white ball is for and black
ball against man. If the citizen wishes
to vote for Mr.. A, and for him only, he
drops white ball into his box and black
balls into the other nine there are ten

candidates, or for the whole ten if he
chooses, his vote being really of no ac-

Elmer Partridge keeps neither hand
grenades nor fire extinguishers in his
house on Halsey street, near Hiss street,
Newark, because he owns a dog of the
Irish setter breed that can put out fires as
quickly as a fireman, and with far less
damage to the threatened property. Twice
he discovered small fires at night on his
masters premises, and paved them out be-
fore he aroused the family to show them
his good work. On both occasions he was
slightly burned Mr.. Partridge has no
doubt that if he had the least fear that
fire was getting beyond his control he
would sound an alarm at once
A bundle of straw or newspapers ig-
nited, and a cry of fire. brings Dan, as
the dog is called, at gallop to the place.
If he cannot extinguish the flames with
his paws he rolls his body over and over
upon it, quite regardless of the danger of
singing his handsome red coat. But the
strangest part of his performance is the
after piece. AS soon as he has put out the
fire he lies down and deliberately eats all
the ashes with great apparent enjoyment
The animal is otherwise vegetarian He
will eat no meat, but devours vegetables
