4 case of mistaken identity was re-
ported on upper Water street, yestcr-
day, the story of which runs something
like the following paragraph. A certain
gentleman owns a pug dog, of which
he is very fond. The dog is very
stylish animal, and is familiar sight
in that locality, as he is usually Seen
sitting in the doorway of his master S
house, with his collar decorated with d
large bow of some bright colored rib
bon. The collar which he had been
wearing for some time, had become
worn, so his owner bought new one
land gave it to one of the boys around
the house, yesterday morning, telling
him to put it on the dog in place of the
old one 1t happened, however. that
when the boy went to look the dog up
| that animal was nowhere to be found,
and thinking that perhaps he had gone
up the street, the boy started out to
hunt him up. No dog was in sight and
| the hoy went up street as far as the
bridge over Bond brook, when, not hav-
ling seen anything that looked like the
dog, had turned back. when he espied
= mug up on one of the side streets.
Thinking that the dog was the one he
was after he went over to where the
animal was, to catch him, but was
somewhat surprised to find that the dog
did not seem inclined to associate with
him, and started to move away. Pucs
are not very fast runners. especially
when they get old and fat. and the boy
finally captured the fugitive. but the
dog snapped at him and the boy had to
cuff him once or twice before he could
get the collar on. When this was COM
! plated the boy started off down the
! street but when he looked around to
see if the pug was coming. that animal
WAS making tracks for house in an
other direction. When the boy got
back to the house he told the owner OF
the dog that he had put the new colaI
on the dog. but that he had had quite
Job as the dog tried to bite him. The
owner was puzzled at the statement, as
his dog is very clever and had not go,
over turning the matter over in his
head when a policeman came in, bring
ing the new collar and said that the
boy had put the collar on the wrong
dog. And so it proved.

life as when she entertains her most
agreeable and fashionable guests is
surely a pleasure and a blessing to
her children. Her tenderness and her
charms, her habits Of speech and per-
feet manners make an impression on
her children which they scarcely ever
forget. Rough men and noisy boys
will quiet down beneath her pleasant
smiles and kindly words, for she it
is who is ever ready to do all in her
