assured the bench that she was in no

means to enable her to live comfort
ably, and asked that she be treated le-

was due to the effects of the excessive
use OF morphine. According to the

morphine in single week. The mag

Pig Fooled the Dog.

Here is true tale of dog and .
pig. They were both passengers on
the same ship. and quite warm friends.
They used to eat their cold potatoes
off the same plate, and but for one
thing would never have had any
trouble. This was the fact that the
dog had kennel and the pig had
none.
Somehow the pig got it into his
head that the kennel belonged to
whichever could get into it first, 80
every night there was race. If the
dog won he showed his teeth, and the
pig had to lie on the softest plank he
could find. If the pig got in first
Toby could not drive him out.
One rainy afternoon the pig found
it rather unpleasant slipping about on
deck and made up his mind to retire
early. But when he reached the ken
mel he found the dog snug and warm
inside. "Umphr' he said, but Toby
made no reply.
Suddenly an idea flashed upon him,
and trudging of 10 where their dinner
plate was lying, he carried it to part
of the deck where the dog could see
it, and turning his back to the kennel,
began rafting the plate and munch-
ing as though he had feast before
him.
This was too much for Toby. A
good dinner and he not therel Piggy
kept on until Toby had come round in
front of him and pushed his nose into
the empty plate.
Then, like shot, he turned around
and was safe in the kennel before
Toby knew whether there was any
dinner on the plate or not.
