BILLY, THE FOx-TERRIER.
Dog That Was Certainly Intelligent
Not Conscientious.

Not Conscientious.
A small foX-terrier, white as milk,
with the proper golden-brown spots on
mis- head having pedigree longer than
Queen Victoria's and a temper sweeter
than Griselda's, full of fun and adoring
babies, made his debut when he was
only a week old in a 'littery" family.
He was christened with great pomp
Charles Chum," but later on these
short sylables were not considered suffi
eient for his dignity and he was re-
lhristened William Billykins,' known
10 his intimates as Billy" After he
was taught that it was not polite to
snatch at things; that his mistress was
perfectly we'll satisfied with being
kissed once a day, and that fruit-cake
was not suitable diet for small pup
pies, he was educated, by means of
whip trimmed with yellow ribbons, not
TO tear up a bit of paper The chief and
lriginal sin in fox-terrier is the liking
for tearing up any thing, but especially
paper, so that this young gentleman was
aiken through what the darkies call a
course of sprouts" before he realized
fully that any thing in the shape of an
envelope or bit of paper of any kind
must be let alone.
One night his mistress counted out
roll of bills and put them in her purse.
Then she undressed and went to bed.
| Billy stood by during the performance,
but was not noticed. The next morning
| some money was wanted, the purse was
| rotten, the bills unfolded and five
/ dollar note was missing The owner of
| II had never been ont of the room since
the night before. The maid had seen
her put the money away and then left
/ the room. Where had it gone? 1t was
talked over, it was looked for, still no
five dollars During the discussion Billy
stood by staring his mistress in the face,
rs if he were trying hard to understand
what it was all about Suddenly he
/ made "a rush, Owed under the desk
where he kept his favorite bones and
came out with five dollar note in his
mouth. He had picked it up where 1t
had dropped on the floor, knew he must
not tear it and yet hid it away among
his own belongings. l ask no one to
believe this; l only know it is true my
self. and that William Billyl1ins to-day
is honored with collar on which hang
two silver bells as a reward OF merit for
being good dog. -Philadelphia Times
