Stewart, relates the following story:
"a friend of mine has a wiry-hair. q
fox terrier, OF which he and his family
are very fond. She was bought on
Newmarket Heath, when quite a small
puppy, and from always having lived
in the house had become very com
paniOnable and trustworthy. About
two months ago my friead, who is a
farmer, was attending TO Il number of
chickens, at his farm. Finding one of
them rather delicate and ailing, he
wrapped it in piece of flannel and
placed il for warmth inside the kitch-
cn fender, he then went to his work,
leaving the terrier curled up I'm her
basket under the table. On his return
he went straight To the kitchen. but
found the flannel empty in the fender.
Having Intercepted the maid, who DE-
claIed that no one had been there, he
Immediately concluded the terrier had
eaten the pu'let, and proceeded to lcat
her. Poor Randy retired crestfallen,
to her basket, ana soon after the farm

lying beside the fox terrier. Randy
had evidently thought that when the
fire went out the chick would be cold
so he had lifted it out of the fender
into his own basket AMI had lain be-
side it all night to keep il warm. 1t is
rather sad to think that her sagacity
had been misunderstood, and that a
beating was the only reward she re-

THE opposition to selling a thous-
and-mile railroad ticket cheaper than
a single fare is puerile. Wholesale
and retail rates in trade are as old as
bartering in cattle and sheep in the
time OF the patriarch Abraham. If a
man buys railroad rides by the whole
sale he is entitled always to wholesale
rates. This is so plain that it ought
not to ever come up for discussion.
