FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Tow a Smart Dog Earned His Dinners
For Several Days.

| was once the owner of rat ter
rier named Fritz. He could kill
rats very fast, and for that reason
we had offers from several firms who
were troubled with rats in their
warehouses. One summer when we
went on a vacation we left Fritz in
care of a colOred boy who was to
come each day and feed Fritz. The
boy proved unreliable and failed to
put in an appearance to feed the
dog. Fritz gnawed the rope which
held him fast and started for the
river front.
Near the river front there are
many large warehouses, and most of
them abound with rats, which the
owners would be very glad to be rid
of. Fritz had often taken part in
the killing of a trap full Of rats
from these warehouses, so what he
did to earn his dinner was this: He
went to the wharf and killed a large
rat, and with it in his mouth he
went to the rear door of a warehouse
and stood before the owner with the
rat in his mouth. The merchant
was deceived. He thought the rat
had been captured in his warehouse.
and he gave Fritz a fine dinner, and
every day after that until we re-
turned home he appeared at the
warehouse with a large rat in his
mouth. This was an easy way for
a dog to earn his dinner.-Helen [.
