story of a Bepentant Dor

The little dog tried to make amends for
his sins; but, unfortuaate be did not
do it in the best way, although he lid the
best he could. A story comes from New
Haven about black spaniel that abstract
ed feather duster from his owners house
and while playing with it tore out all the
feathers. The dog, after being shown the
festherless handle, was given sewers
whipping with it. He then disappeared,
and about an hour afterWard walked
bravely into the house with brand-new
duster n his mouth. He walked up to his
mistress and meekly deposited the new
brush at her feet. By the mark on il she
saw that the dog had stolen it from
neighboring fancy goods store. - Ex-

the foundations of technique and a GER
