THE DOG AT THE PHONE.

Trusty is dog. His mistress is a
professional nurse and lives with her
mother. They have a telephone.
When the nurse is detained by her
business away from home over night
she phones to her mCther to relieve
the latter's anxiety The other night
after talking with her mother over the
wire she asked about Trusty.
The dog was by the side Of the
mother. The mother 'phoned that fact
to her daughter, who phoned back to
have the receiver placed at Trusty's
ear
This was done and the mistress of
the dog talked to him. That he recog-
niZed her voice was evident, for he
barked and appeared cverjoyed.
After the receiver was hung up
Trusty jumped toward it and acted as
if he wanted it taken down. During
the night he ley near the telephone
and frequently looked up at the re-
ceiver and whined
In the morning he sat before it and
hOwled until his mistress was called
up. She commando him to keep
quiet, and not until then did he go
away.-New York Sun.

A SONG FOR THE NEW YEAR.


Yes, sing a song for him, my friends.
The year is lonely now
The frost and rime of winter time
Lie thick on beard and brow.
He had his faults, his fOibles, too,
His follies, doubts, and fears;
Yet, take him all in all, It's true
He brought more smiles than tears.
So we will speak him fair, my friends,
We loved him we'll, you know,
And sing the good old year a song
Before we let him go,
Oh, shall we sing how blithe he seemed
The night when first he came,
When bells were rung, and songs
were sung,
To usher in his name?
How spring-time met him in her
bowers
Festooned with garlands gay,
And summer strewed his path with
flowers,
And lured him on his way?
And though among the joys he brought
Well sing the good old year song
Before we let him go.
Oh. when the bearded grain grew ripe
And harvest songs went round,
He swung his blade in sun and shade
Till all the wheat was bound.
He led us through the golden sheaves,
And through the ripening shocks,
And twined the first bright autumn
leaves
Among his tangled locks.
Oh. then the year was in his prime,
But now his step is slow,
And we will sing a song for him
Before we let him go.
IT'S true he robbed us in his flight,
And took from form or face
Some touch of color or of light,
Some trick of air or grace
And in their stead, perchance, he
dropped
A wrinkle here and there,
Or traced upon the once smooth brow
Some lines Of grief or care.
But still we'll cherish in our hearts
The year we've learned to know,
And sing a song for him, my friends
Before we let him go.
What though he left some folded page
No eye may e'er divine?
Or in the heart some barbed dart
Of which we make no sign?
Though some sweet chord, whose mum
bers thrilled
Our being to the core,
Is hushed and mute, it's music stilled
To throb for us no more?
The memory of that silent voice
Clings to the year we know
And we will sing a song for him
Before we let him go.
