returning via Southampton with an over.
coat stuffed with specimens of all sorts, dead
and alive. Among them was q monkey,
which was domcled in large breast pocket.
As auckland was taking his ticket, joke
thrust up his head and attracted the atten.
ton Of the booking clerk. who Immediately
and very properly-said: you must have
q ticket for that dog, if it's going with you"
"Dog?" said auckland, Indignantly; "its
no dog, it's monkey"
Its dog" replied the clerk.
ITS a monkey" retorted auckland, and
proceeded to show the whole animal, but
without convincing the clerk, who insisted
on five shillings for the dog ticket to London.
Naturally nettled at this, auckland
plunged his hand into another pocket and
produced tortoise, and, laying it on the
sill Of the ticket window, said: Perhaps
you call that dog, too!"
The clerk inspected the tortoise. ''No,"
said he, 1--WE make no charge for them
they're nsects!"-Windsor Magazine.
