buyers from other states here looking up

universally for good animals. the lack of

DIR. Fitzgerald: 1t is not infre-
quently that we hear of horses ask
ing in their peculiar language for
food and water; but it is, / think, a
little uncommon for one to assist in
procuring these necessaries of life,
as a horse of my acquaintance did.
Albert was IN the habit of being
watered in a wooden bucket on the
porch of the we'll, which was about
two feet from the ground. If he
was out i'm the yard and wanted
water he would come to the porch,
and if Gs bucket was empty would
neigh until some one came and fill
cd il for him. One day the bucket
was taken from It's accustomed place
and put in the yard, about two OF
three yards from the well, for the
calf TO drink, and was not brought
back. Albert came after awhile for
water, and seeing his bucket in the
yard stepped up to drink, and find
ing it empty he grasped it between
his teeth aud brought it to the porch,
set it down with selfsatisfied air
and called for water. He deserved
it, l think; don't you?

s There is cruel story in circnla-
tion concerning certain teacher in
one of the public schools who has
been highly complimented because
of the success attending the exami-
nation Of her pupils, says the Wash
ington Critic. 1t was noticed that
her class of boys seemed to be able
10 solve all the problems When a
question was asked every boys
hand in the class was rsliseds The
principal of the school was putting
the questions,and the teacher would
call on a pupil to make the answer.
Although more thaasl 'scosepf ques-
tions We're asked, IN no Instance
was improper answer given
The principal was so well pleased
at the result that he made special
mention of Miss Dash's proficiency
as teacher in each of the class
rooms that he visited. Probably
envy was caused by the fact that
in no other class room did the pu-
pills seem 10 be as well up in their
studies. One ofthe teachers, whose
pupils did not acquit themselves
very creditably, made an investiga-
ton, and by judicious use of can
day succeeded in gaining the conf
dence of one of the boys under Miss
Dash's care.
"Now, Johnny" said she show is
it that all you boys know the
answers?"
"Wc don't all know" said John
ny, munehing a caramel. ,tsa,
"But you all put up your hands
as if you did"
"Miss Dash tells us to put up our
hands when the question is asked.
We boys who don't know the
answer put up our left hands, and
the boys who know the answer put
up their right hands, and then Miss
Dash asks the boys who have a
right hand M.
