friend in a dog that lived ut a cafe.
He met the cafe dog ia his walks and

a year his friendship never went SO

was a pointer, into the house. One
day, 10 my surprise, he came from his
walk, bringing the pointer, whose
name was Antonio, in with him, pushed
his nose on TO my breakfast table and
made me understand that he wished
me 10 feed his friend. On inquiry
/ found that the pointer was starving,
having been a day or two before beat

tain that Isla must have known of his

The Wise Dsen 81 Iagos,

Once, upon a great festival, the
town council OF lagos went 10 the
parish church TO hear mass. And all
the members Of the council were
dressed in seemly state in black coats
and tight black trousers and flowing
cloaks, and each wore a wide brlmmed
hat of black felt, over which a feather
CALAMITY curled. For their comfort a
leather covered bench was placed be-
fore the chancel rail. And when they
came to sit, each man. in the order OF
his dignity, sat down upon the bench
and placed beside him his hat But
when six of the twelve councillors
were seated the bench was full. Then
a whispered conference was held, and
it was decided that the bench must
be stretched. So six of them took hold
of one end and the other six took hold
of the other end. and they pulled
hard. Then they came 10 sit again.
And now the first councillor put his
hat beneath the bench, and the second
did likewise, and so did they all. And
they all in comfort sat down-by
which they knew that they had sutfi.
GENTLY stretched the bench.
Being thus seated the first councillor
crossed his right leg over his left leg,
and so did the second councillor, and
so did they all. But when came the
time in the mass when all must rise
not one of the councillors could tell
certainly which two of the twenty.
four legs were his, for all were clad
in tight black trousers and all were
crossed. And each man looked at the
many legs among which were his
own, and sorrowfully wondered if he
ever should know his own legs among
so many aud so be able TO rise and
walk. And while they thus pondered
il fell out that the first councillor was
bitten by IA flea fercely in his rearward
parts. And the first councillor slapped
at the flea, and that he might slap the
better uncrossed his legs. Then the
second councillor knew which were his
legs, and so did the third, and so did
they all. And 50 they all uncrossed
their legs, and with great thankful
ness arose. -Scribuer's Magazine.
