FUN FOR THE BIRD.
How q Raven Tsrmented and Pun
fsiied n Greedy Pug Dog.

| How q Raven Tsrmented and Pun
fshed n Greedy Pug Dog.
The greediest and most conceited pug
that ever lived, according to his owner,
was Suto. The sight of anything eat
| ing Except bimseif, was agony to him.
A large raven was kept in a cage in
the garden of Suto's owner-a raven
gifted with sardonic cunning and love
Of mischief. The pug was the butt of
his malicious humor.
Daily at 3 o'clock the raven was
given lump of steak. and Suto would
always be lowering about at the time
he lowered near everything eatable.
The raven knew his shameful greedi-
ness and made fine sport of it. At first
Suto. though in torments of gluttony,
would feign Indifference. The raven
would put the stake close against the
wifes. and Suto's agony would get past
bearing. Then the raven retired with
chuckle. At this all Sutos self con-
troll was gone. and he plunged at the
wires in a mad attempt TO snatch the
meat.
OF course the thing was hopeless; his
blunt nose could never penetrate the
wire netting. But the ravens beak
could. Instantly the bird would swoop
on him and drive in one Oh that greedy
pug's nose. With that Suto would hurl
himself furiouSly at the ra~en-hope-
lessly ever. for he could never touch
the tormentor. The torinentor. in fact,
danced and jumped in an ecstasy of
delight, driving in dig after dig at the
dogs unhappy countenance and get
ting WI Home at every dig. till at last
poor SutO retired. pecked and beaten.
Then the raven. happy and content.
his appetite well whetted. swallowed
his steak ut one guip, while SutO hid
behind tree or anything else Opaque,
that he might not have the pain of wit
Messing the operation. Day after day
the performance was repeated in every
detail, and the dog must have known
what would happen every time, but
his master passion of gluttony was too
strong for him-he could not keep his
nose away from tnat meat-Chicago

pirates. They torture long before they
kill. But women can beat them off and
cut them down with DR.. Pierce's Favorite

that has no alcohol, opium or other mar

r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N V, who has

study and treatment of diseases peculiar to
women. 1t overcomes irregularities, stops
disagreeable drains, bearing down pains
and backache; cures female weakness and
