THE WAYS OF KIM.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: I
thought 1 would write to you and tell you
about a dog that a friend Of mine owns.
His name is Kim, and he can perform
many clever tricks. He Is a small dog,
with brown, curly hair. Sometimes his
mistress asks him to spell his name. She
will say "K.' and Kim will bark. and then
Il" and he will bark again, and then IN. -
and he will bark again. Then she will
say KIM" and he will bark longer than
before. IL his mistress puts a piece OF
puppy biscuit on his nose and counts,
"One, two. three he will throw it up and
catch II. His mistress will hold out a
stick and say. Jack be nimble,' and he
will jump over the stick. Then she will
say, Jack be quick" and he will go over
again. Then she says, Jack jump over
the candlestick," and over he goes again.
He will play hide-and-seek, shake hands
and roll over. He can also sing. He has
little crib to go to sleep in and a bath
tub. When Christmas comes he gets blank
cts and ribbons and packages of puppy
biscuit. He has many other tricks. but as
I have now written so much I will close.
