"Speaking of the force OF habit" said
S. b. Dayter, reminds me of pet dog
belonging to a cousin OF mine They had
tAught the animal TO walk on his hind
feet and hold up his front legs like arms.
There were number OF children In the
family, and they kept the dog performing
this trick until no began to do 10 of his
own accord. 1t was not long before he
went everywhere ON his two feet, the 9TH
ers becoming practically useless to him.
and for the last three years ! have never
seen him stand upon all fours, except for

walk us rapidly as he could when four feet
were used, and as he goes up the street
every one stops to look at him, "-Cincin-
