Only a Doq.

He was only a shabby, mongrel dog,
but he lay all night on windy, open
lot, and kept an abandoned little baby
cuddled to his shaggy breast so that it
should not freeze to death.
John Kormoyle, who lives at 500
Wales avenue, in the Bronx, was cross
ing the lot, which is at One Hundred
and Sixty-eighth street and Union ave-
nue., early one morning recently, when
he heard the piping wall Of the babe.
At loss to understand the sound at
such time and place, he looked about
until in clump Of bushes, he came
upon the strangely assorted sleepmates.
Both were homeless but with the in
tinct of comradeship in misfortune the
animal held the infant close and licked
it's little cheeks. 1t was evident that
athe child, which was bareheaded and
clad only in a thin white frock, had
been left on the lot during the night
and found there by the other outcast,
dumb, but with more feeling than the
mother of his charge.
Kormoyle took the infant, and start
ed with it for the Morrisiana station.
On the way he met Policeman Knowles,
who sent for an ambulance from Leb-
anon hospital, where the child will be
cared for.
The dog followed the policeman for
a block or two and then, evidently sat
isfied that his companion of the night
was in good hands, quietly stole away

A PuzzIinq River Trip.

Here is little mathematical diver
sion involving animal and vegetable
kingdom conditions. If you can work
it out, you are cleverer than the aver
age boy Or girl:
A man has wolf, goat and a cab
bage to carry over the river, but he
can convey only one at time, his
boat being small. How is he to man
age this so the wolf may not be left
alone with the goat, nor the goat left
with the cabbage? For it is easy to for
tell the fate of the goat were he left in
company with his natural enemy, while
If the goat and cabbage were left to-
gether there would be little of the
vegetable remaining to tell the tale.
This problem was given out at an
evening entertainment last week, and
there wasn't one of the company able
to solve It, Each took an unsuccessful
turn at the puzzle, crossing and re-
crossing that river, sometimes taking
the goat on the first load and some
times the wolf, but always ending in
confusion. A good deal of apprehen-
sion was expressed for the poor man
who owned the three, the fear being

A Camel's Revenge.

A valuable camel working in an oil
mill in Africa was severely beaten by
its driver. Seeing that the camel had
treasured up the injury and was only
waiting favorable chance for revenge,
the driver kept strict watch upon the
animal, Time passed away; the camel,
knowing that it was watched was quiet
and obedient, and the driver began to
think that the beating was forgotten,
when, one night, after several months
had gone by, the man was sleeping on
raised platform in the mill, whilst,
as is customary, the camel was stabbed
in corner.
Happening to awake, the driver saw
by the bright moonlight that, when all
was quiet, the animal looked cautiously
around, rose softly, and steeling toward
a spot where bundle of clothes and
a bernous, thrown carelessly on the
ground, resembled a sleeping figure,
cast itself with violence upon them,
rolling with all its weight, and tearing
them most vicously with it's teeth. Sat
isfied that its revenge was complete,
the camel was returning to its corner,
when the driver sat up and spoke. At
the sound of his voice, and realizing
the mistake it had made, the animal
was so mortified at the failure and dis
covery of it's scheme that it dashed it's
head against the wall and died on the
spot-Los Angeles Times.

| frequently voiced that as there was
seemingly no solution to the problem,
he would be compelled by cruel fate
to sacrific either the goat or the cab
bage, and the loss of either would I'M
doubtedly have been a hardship to a
man in his circumstances.
One man suggested that the wolf be
thrown across the river and the cab
bage taken on the first trip, but, I'M
fortunately, the river was much too
wide at the point In question to permit
this expedient Another had an idea
that the proper thing to do would be to
call a messenger boy, but, then, as
this one was forced to admit, the cab
bage would have withered and the an
finals passed away from old age ere the
boy responded. Another genius thought
it would be the proper thing to make
the owner eat the cabbage before en-
barking, place the goat in the boat and
tow the wolf behind. One suggested
tunneling the river. Needless to say,
none of these solutions was the cor
rect one.
Here it is-simplest thing in the
world:
The man first took over the goat.
That was all right. No trouble between
the wolf and the cabbage, because
wolves don't like cabbage Then the
man returned and took over the wolf.
Now wait minute don't get excited
the man didn't leave the goat and the
wolf together. He took back the goat
on the return trip, depositing him safe
ly on the ground, and then conveyed
the cabbage across. Now he had the
wolf and the cabbage on the desired
side and the goat on the original bank.
Easy matter to return for the goat
and land him safe and sound beside the
other two. Very easy problem-when
you know the answer.-Los Angeles
Times.

A Bear Had the Toothache.

A bear had got the toothache very badly
only tell the story have heard,
SO don't, humbly pray,
Be hard on me, and say,
1.-THE whole affair is totally absurd.")
A bear had got the toothache very badly
And to his kind and gentle mother
said;
Its all this side the Jaw
(And he touched it with paw;
4 wish twas on the other side in
steadw
Now, by and by the bear, I'm glad to
mention,
Of all this pain could find no little
trace,
But scarce a week had flown
When he murmured with groan:
"Tve got it on the other side the facet
II shouldn't mind at all if I could shift
it
To where it was a little while ago.
For OH it seems to me
That the place for pain to be
is where you haven't got the pain, you
know"
Now if you think this bear little silly,
And laugh at what he ventured to
suggest,
wait, beg you, do,
Till you've had the toothache, too,
And tell me then which side you like
it best.

They Quit Even.

A red-headed man met a bald-head-
ed man on the street one day The
red-headed man said to the bald-head-

Huh! there don't seem to have bean

ooh, yes" replied the bald-headed
man, there was plenty of hair, but it
was all red, and | wouldn't have it."

That stretched away to touch the ris-

While in my ears the ceaseless city roar
Sounded as breakers foaming 'gainst the

A MEMORY OF VACATION.

Because, today, heard a merry tune
Played in the city street,
Ihat ever rose above the city's noise.
And laughed through all the sound of
passing feet,
Astood again in fancy by the sea,
And felt its salt breath blowing over
me.

Letter to T. M. MOormau.
FRANKLIN, LA.

Dear Sir: Your business is, when a
house burns down, to give the owner
some money to build a new one. 1t is
good business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too. What is better,
we paint the houses that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn: we
insure the houses thatd YOuhave
the ashes and smoke: all the houses
are ours.
We paint lead-and-Zinc; Devoe.
We sell the paint to painters: we don't
paint.
Lead=and-oil is the old ia shion pain
Devoe is zine ground in with lead and
linseed oil; the best paint in the world;
and the cheapest, BECAUSE it take,
fewer gallons than mixed paints and
1t wear. twice as long as lead-and=oil
Nobody wants poor paint; there's lot.
