Cowper was very fond of his dog,
and we know how Charles Lamb, who
was prose poet, loved his Dash and
how Mrs. Broy vning appreciated the
little Flush to whom she indited a
poem. The Ea:rl of Shaftesbury kept
his noble collie in his library with him
at all times and Samuel Rogers al

An unusual scene was once witness
ed In a French law court. the civil
tribunal at Nantes The proprietor Of
local theater had engaged young
lady dancer. whose performances at
rehearsals did not come up to his ex-
pectations. He therefore would not
let her appear, and the fair dancer
took action against him for breach Of
contract. The defendant alleged that
she had not even learned the first
steps Of her art, and. here being plain
issue. the judge determined to decide
for himself. A space was accordingly
forthwith cleared on the floor Of the
court, and in these unusual surround.
ings the young lady duly went through
her steps and pirouettings. In the re-
suit the judge felt justified in certify
ing that she was quite an expert dan
Ger and decided the case In her favor.
Henceforth she advertised herself as
the only dancer in the country with a
legal certificate of profciency.-Lon-

Of great railroad. It was just little
before lunch. Some of the clerks were
putting on their coats. some leaving
for the washroom, some consulting the
clock; some were still busy. Suddenly
the "boss" entered. He glanced about
him and then approached the young
bookkeeper.
"What time is it?' he asked.
The young man kept on figuring, and
the boss put hand on his desk and
repeated the question.
Instantly the other looked up, sur
prised to see the chief at his elbow.
"T beg your pardon, were you speak
