~ ~. bernard Dog That Is Learning "a
Sing.
Count Leo is the name of q magnih-

L. NJ. Kirkpatrick, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
Leo is an aristocratic dog, as his
name indicates, with n pedigree half a
yard long, yet this in no wise inter
fercs with his a~miability and intelli-
gence.
"Leo, run, shut the door," said NJ.
Kirkpatrick to the dog, just as he
would address a child, and Leo trots
to the door, and with his paw pushes
it close, but still it is Unattached.
@Oh, shut it close" and his nose is
brought into requisition AMI the door
closes.
The eyes beam with wonderful intel
ligence. Every word spoken is under
stood, whether by a stranger or those
with whom he is familiar.
The guests of the hotel where Leo's
home is foster this intelligence in many
ways a favorite one being to give their
keys TO him, with instructions as to
where to leave them. The dog never
makes a mistake as to the identity of a
guest, nor the number of the room he
has been assigned to.

asks for being the friendly pat on his
head in which he delights.

"Im going to dress up today, Leo, "
saws Mr.. Kirkpatrick, "and you may
bring me my silk hat" Leo goes to a
closet, and, raising himself I a level

box. opens it, and, gently us though il
were an infant, lifts out the silk hat
and lays il in his masters lap.

hat with which he was familiar a dip

was deposited on the floor, where he
manifested his disgust by short banks.

search for the hat. At last il was dis
covered and his delight was great lie
would not be content until il reposed

The bower was furnished with a round

were for the great. The bed was a sack
filled with straw and laid on a bench.
hence the words bench and straw were
COMMONLY used for bed. When the bed
was to be made they took the bed-sack
out of the chest, filled it with fresh
straw. and laid it on the bench in a re-
