Several board of trade men the 9TH

beer and the fondness of foreigners
for that beverage. One of them e.
nally offered to wager that any Ger
man at work upon building near by
could drink gallon of beer without
stopping. This proposition was &C
copied and a German stone mason
was accosted.
"Will you drink a bucketful of beer
if will pay for it?'' he was asked.
The workman was suspicious. He
wanted to know all about the discus
sion and the wager. At last he said:
ttVell, drink it if can. I don't know
though, if [ can. You wait here

alley for a few minutes, but presently

THE TRUE STORY OF BOSE.
Teddy was stretched out on the bu

Teddy was stretched out on the bug
gy-seat, half asleep. Bose sat on the
sidewalk near by, his ears going up
and down, as he watched for some
thing that might brighten his friend
Dick, the horse, and that might result
in harm to his dear Teddy, whom Bose
had loved ever since he first saw him,
bit Of a baby; and he had always
taken good care of Teddy.
Teddy's father was talking with
some men inside the store. 'sIs your
collie for sale?" asked one man, point
ing toward Bose with his whip handle.
Teddy's father thought a moment.
Times were hard and he needed mon
ey very much; but Bose! HWen,'' he
said, after a little pause, 'I might
take twenty five dollars for him.
The other men laughed; but the
one who had first spoken said: "Wen,
that's pretty steep price; but I need
collie like that for my sheep, SO HI
give it to YOU"
An electric car was coming down
the street, and Dick had never seen
one before; and, as it came nearer
and nearer, he pulled at his hitching-
strap until it broke, and away up the
street he dashed.
Teddy scrambled up, and tried to
find the lines, but they were over the
Dashboard; and then he saw the riv-
er just ahead, and he thought about
his mother.
Then he saw Bose running by like a
| flash; and the brave dog jumped up
and caught the broken strap in his
teeth, and tugged at it until Dick
stopped. When Teddy's father came
through the crowd, he found Teddy
sitting on the ground, hugging Bose.
80 pape!" be said, looking up,
with his eyes full of tears. "What
could we do without Bose?n
Teddy" said his father, "would
you take twenty five dollars for
Bose?"
Twenty five dollars!!" answered
Ted, scornfully. 'EThere isn't money
enough in the world to buy Bose!
Why, papa, I would as soon sell one
of the family!"
"That's what [ think myself,o said
his father; and they drove back until
they met the farmer who wanted to
buy dog. ''This dog isn't for sale, -
said Teddy's father.
