Queer things were happening. Crow.

Dog Proves His Gentleness.

From Prague is reported an anus
ing trial in which a dog played he
leading part. The owner of the dog
was sued by an engineer, who claimed
damages for a bite from the animal,
He also denounced the dog as vicious.
Al the trial veterinary surgeon who
was called in tried the utmos, 10 irri-
tate the dog by teasing him. but the
animal kept his temper The com
plainant then demanded that in order
TO test the dogs real disposition his
owner should be turned out OF court
and the dog let loose among the au-
dience. This was done after the dog
had been muzzled. The dog however
continued TO display the greatest good
humor. holding up one paw after an
other, and wagging his tail. Finally
he ran to the judge. before whom he
sat on his hind legs begging in a most
pathetic manner. The judge thereupoa
pronounced the dog 10 be a veritable
lamb. and gave judgment for his
owner.

gan to look funny.
One day the Fairy Queen, who was
very friendly with the birds and flow
ers, disguised herself as an old. lame
sparrow. Just at dusk she came to Crow
and begged to share his nest for the
night. Crow closed one eye and looked
her over critically.

the Queen motioned for him to be sileut.
Then she called softly TO the other birds.
From all over the forest they cams and

foot each boy locks heels with the other
