ton Old Black has learned to be regu-
lar hOusekeeper He counts out the
clothes TO the washwoman every Monday
morning, and sees that the proper number
of each garment is returned Saturday eve
ming. The WashwOmen can't fool him. He
knows the clothes of every member of the
Idfnlly, ana ne can always tell to whom
the missing garment or garments belong.
Immediately upon finding that some of
the clothes are missing, he will run TO the
party to whom the garment belongs and
bark Viciously, pulling constantly at the
party to make him or her go to the wash
woman. Old Black frequently runs yelp-
ing to the store on Saturday afternoon, to
give Mr.. McCrary notice that he is about to
lose something at the washwoman's hands

his owner. Mr.. McCrary'S friends are slow

failed TO put in his handkerchief Old
Black will know It, and prove that he

any difference how many people are in the

negroes all think he has the thousand
eyes, about which they heard at Sunday
school.
