Smart Dog
One summer afternoon a group of child,
rem were playing at the end of pier that
projects into Lake Ontario, near Kingston.
The prcverbial careless child of the party
made backward step from the pier into
the water. None of his companions could
save him, and their cries had brought no
one from the shore, when, just IA he was
SiIhiflg IOr tne tniru Tune. superb New
foundland dog rushed down the pier into
the water and pulled the boy out
Those of the children who did not accom-
pany the boy home took the dog to con-
fectioner's on the SCORE and fed him with
as great a variety of cakes and other sweets
as he could eat. So far the story 10, of
course, only typical of scores of we'll known
cases. The individuality of this case is
left for the sequel
The next afternoon the same group of
children were playing at the same place
when the canine hero of the day before
came trotting down to them with the most
friendly ways and DDS. There being no
occasion this time for supplying him with
delicacies, the children only stroked and
petted him. The dog, however, had not
come out of pure socability. A child in
the water and cakes and candy stood to
him in the close and obvious relation of
cause and effect, and if this relation was
not understood by the children he resolved
to impress it upon them. Watching his
chance he crept up to the child neal est the
edge of the pier, gave a sudden push which
sent him into the water, then sprung in
after him and gravely brought him to
shore.-Philadelphi Times.
