A Doc and an Eco.

A farmer in a western state possess
ed two dogs, a big one called Alice and
a small one that was named Billy. AL
ice, greedy creature, was fond Of fresh
eggs. When she heard a hen cackle she
always ran to look for the nest. One
day she found under the fruit shed.
But she could not get the egg because
she was too large to go under the shed.
She went away and soon returned with
Billy, bringing him just before the
hole.
Billy was stupid and did not under
stand. Alice put her head in and then
her paws without being able to reach
the egg. Billy seemed to understand
what was wanted. He went under the
shed, brought out the egg and put it
before Alice, who ate it with great sat
.isfaction, and then both dogs trotted
OF together.-Chicago Tribune.

MARK TWAIN's CHILDREN.
A Case Where Attempted Punishment
Proved a Hopeless Failure.

Ordinary punishments answered very
well for Susy. She was a thinker and
would reason out the purpose of them,
amply the lesson and achieve the re-
form required. But it was much less
easy to devise punishments that would
reform Clara. This was because q
was a philosopher who was always
turning her attention to finding some
thing good and satisfactory and enter
tanning in everything that came her
way. Consequently it was sometimes
pretty discouraging to the troubled
mother to find that after all her pains
and thought in inventing what u
meant to be a severe and reform COM
pelling punishment the child had en-
tirely missed the seventies through her
native disposition to get interest and
pleasure out Of them as novelties. Ihe
mother, in her anxiety to find a pen
atty that would take sharp hold ana
do it's work effectively, at last resorted,
with a sore heart and with a reproach-
full conscience, to that punishment
which the incorrigible criminal in the
penitentiary breads above all the other
punitive miseries WHICH the warden IN
ficts upon him for his good-solltary
confinement in the dark chamber. The
erieved and worried mother shut Clara
I'D in a very small clothes closet and
went away and left her therefor ff-
teen minutes. It was all that the moth
~. heart could endure. Then she came
softly back and listened-listened for
the sobs, but there weren't any; there
were mufled and inarticulate sounds,
but they could not be construed into
sobs. The mother waited half an hour
longer. BY that time she was suffering
so intensely With sorrow and compass
sion for the little prisoner that b was
not able to wait aEy longer for the dis
tressed sounds which she had counted
UPON to inform her when there had
been punishment enough and the re-
form accomplished. She opened the
closet to set the prisoner free and a k
her back into her loving favor and for
giveness. but the result was not the
one expected. The captive had manu-
featured a fairy cavern out of the
closet, and friendly fairies out Of the
clothes hanging from the hooks and
was having a most sinful and unre-
pentant good time and requested per-
mission to spend the rest Of the day
there!-From Mark Twain's Autobiog-
raphy in North American Review.

INDIAN PROVERBS.

The coward shoots with shut eyes.
Small things talk loud to the Indians
eye.
The paleface's arm is longer than his
word.
When Il fox walks lame, the old rab-
bit jumps.
A squaw's tongue runs faster than
the winds legs.
There is nothing so eloquent as a
rattlesnake's tail.
The Indian scalps his enemy. The
p%aleface skins his friends.
Two men will live together in quiet
and friendship, but two squaws never.
When a man prays one day and
steals six, the Great Spirit thunders
and the evil one laughs.
There are three things it takes a
strong man to hold-a young warrior,
a wild horse and a handsome squaw.-
