A Shrewd Dog.

OF a sedate but cunning dog out In
California this story is told: On m
occasion a rabbit was started, and all
the dogs with the exception Of Bonus
dashed off in full pursuit. We were
astonished to observe that he, foregoing
the intense excitement of the chase, de-
liberately trotted by a short cut to a
hollow oak trunk, and crouching at its
base calmly awaited the coming Of the
fleeing rabbit. And he was not disap-
pointed, for the pursuing dogs pressed
the rabbit SO hard that after making a
long detour, it approached the place Of
refuge. AS it was about entering the
hollow trunk, Bonus sprang up and cap
tured it. Now, this old dog was used to
hunting rabbits in that field, and knew
that the rodents were in the habit OF
flying for safety to that hollow tree.
Moreover, this story is rue.-Philadel-

Getting Even.

When the Tin Soldier was done in
Chicago for the first time | played the
plumber. Eugene Field was present and
seemed to enjoy the performance i'm
mensely. Next day he gave the piece a
very hattering criticism. and said that
all the people played their parts well
with a single exception. The actor who
played the plumber seemed to have no
conception Of what the author intended.
| had to good naturedly take the general
laugh AT my expense and foot up the bill
for numerous ''smiles," whose combined
frequency was sufficient to make a very
respectable laugh. l determined to get
back at Field. He is as well known and
as familiar q figure in Chicago as Col.
Ochiltree is in New York. On the follow
ing evening had him occupy a box at
the theatre. In n Of my scenes l took a
copy Of The News, and advancing to the
front, pretended to read. Gen. Fields
Sharps and Flats" l said, as if Just com
ing to the column Of his bright exploita-
tions. Then, with a broad smile, |
apparently continued reading. After a
while the smile gradually faded, and was
succeeded by an expression Of positive
pain. The paper was thrown to the
floor. and, with a very tired expression,
| threw back the lapel OF my coat and
rang a chestnut bell. The chestnut bell
was something new in Chicago then, and
the little piece Of business went tremen-
dously. Fields box was SO situated that
he could not withdraw from the view Of
the house, and he had to take the laugh
like a good fellow. The Tin Soldier"
has made on an average about $24, 900 a
