FITS PET.

IL Was Small Chicken That He Cared for
Quite Tenderly.
Fitz was a beautiful large Spitz watch
dog we had TO take care of the place.
One day as he was summing himself
on the piazza the old hen brought her
brood of chickens around; to try sup
pose, to find them something to eat.
One of the little chickens deliberately
ran from its mother, and jumped on
Fits back; he didn't seem one bit
pleased at having such liberty taken
with him, but do what he might he
couldn't brighten the little chicken
from his back After awhile it jumped
down and commenced playing with
Fits paws, In the course of a few
hours they became great friends,
the chicken following the dog
everywhere he went. Fitz was
kept in the house at night, and
had his bed in one corner of the
kitchen. Before dark he would pick
up the chicken in his mouth, carry it in
and lay it very tenderly in his own bed,
where it would nestle in his long hair
and 20 sound asleep.
Early in the morning Fitz would
carry it out and watch to see that moth
ing happened to it while he was in the
vicinity. One morning heard the dog
make queer growing sort of sound,
and looking up | saw large hawk cir
cling over the tops of the trees watch
ing a chance TO get the bird but Fitz
was too smart for the hawk; he quickly
picked up his pet and darting into the
house, deposited it in its own corner.
Things went on in this way for some
time, the dog and the bird being so hap
Ply together One morning one girl
wanted Fitz TO go with her To the store
TO carry the basket as he usually did.
This day he did not seem inclined to go
with her. but She coaXed him so hard.
finally he wagged his tail and looked
at her as much as % say. We'll, III

up his little chicken, put it as he
thought in safe place, and looking
around 10 see that everything was
right, took the basket and followed the
girl Some one of the family must have
left the door open. for in an hour when
Fitz returned he couldn't find his pet
anywhere. He searched every room in
the housa: not finding ii, he rushed in
10 the garden and 70 the different
places he used TO carry it to play, but
no bird could the poor dog find. Poor
! Fit, il made my heart sore To look at
him; he would take no interest in any
thing about the place, lost his appetite

There were four Of them-E4nest,
Walter, Henry and Albert bright
young fellows, who delighted to tickle
Johns nose with a fragrant-smelling
apple snatching it away when he APP

John was a pig in his love for mellow,
ripe apples. The boys thought it fun
to tease him a little, and make him
anxious to get it before giving it up to
him.
They really did teach him to play

One of his tricks was to sigh and
swell up his body, when being saddled,
if one of the little boys was about to
ride him.
OF course, the saddle was invariably
turned after they had ridden a little

Another trick was snatching a cap
