position in the church choir. had re-

a solo. The organist was not pleased
with the arrangement, and he played
the accompaniment to the somewhat

"A short while ago some boys from

lowed them. Near the spring the dog
discovered three little dead pigs ly-

up to the level ground and laid them
out In a row. He tried several ways
to get hold of all three pigs. SO that he
could carry them home, but failed in
each effort. He left them lying on the
bank and was gone quite while. and
when he came back he had q bucket
in his mouth. Depositing the bucket
on the t.ound, he picked the pigs up
one at time, dropped them into the
