SMALL DOGS CLEVER SCHEME
How Tatters Solved the Problem Of
Escaping Punishment for
Wandering.

A proof that animals think was
given by little skye terrier who did
everything but talk There was a
fence around the lawn and he was
never allowed to go out alone, but
in the spring when the ground was
soft he would dig a hole under the
fence and go on little outing, says
Our Dumb Animals. One day he was
discovered digging ! knocked on the
window and said, NO, Tatters." He
looked up at me, then deliberately
went around back of the house and
began to make another hole. In front
Of his home was an open field and
across that was a house where this
same little dog had a fancy for calling
and where he knew we objected to
his going. He was scolded for dis
obeying, and finally given a gentle
chistisement.
We fiattered ourselves he was con-
quered at last, but his fertile brain
was equal to the occasion. Missing
him one day we saw him going up
the street. Then we went around the
block till he got TO the house where
he stayed for half an hour, then came
back home the same way, instead Of
taking a short cut across the field as
he had been in the habit Of doing, and
where he knew we would be sure to
see him.

AS A BUTCHER SEES IT.

President Edward o'Neil, of the

And these wheat cornerers, /" said Mr.

wheat to prevent Europe from taking
it away from us and leaving us to
starve. Patriots"
He laughed harshly.

Stockton, who was renowned for his
domesticity. Two women were talk

A MYSTERY.

Belinda has a gentle face
And spiritual style,
She moves about with languid grace
And wears q plaintive smile.
And yet she'll eat a box or two
OF candy ere each day Is through,
And sections vast OF pie and cake
And everything they broil or bake
And all the while her glance will CLEAN
With delicate disdain
AS II her life was but a dream,
Beyond this earthly plane.
Our rugged ways we all lament
With genuine distress,
She seems chidipg vision sent
OF fleetlng loneliness
But half the salad she devours
Would keep a man awake for hours,
And frozen sweets, confections rare
Are her persistent bill OF fare.
And still she fades until we fear
Belinda win take flight
And only leave behind her here
A haunting appetite
