his living with his wits, could give him
cards and spades at his own tricks i'm

how often he was chased away. l had
at that time n pedigreed water spaniel
and | tscd To teach him some tricks
when | took him out along quite
road at times The yellow dog, who
made friends with him, always came
along and beat the water spaniel at
his own tricks without training. Then
he began TO play tricks of his own on
the spaniel When he had a bone he
looked out for his comrade, and when
he saw him looping along he would lay
the bone i'm his path and disappear.
The spaniel always made for the bone,
but the yellow dog, just as he was
about to grab ID, would dart fran his
hiding place and Selling it, run off
with it. This happened over and over
again, but the high bred spaniel never
tumblcd to the joke.

Poue Leo XIII. and the PIGEON.

The illness OF the pope recalls a
touching story which went the rounds
at the time of the illness OF Leo XIII.
Every day at certain hour a pigeon,
after the manner of Noah's dove, used
to come to the study of the pontiff,
who, no matter what the business In
hand was, would go TO the bird and
feed It, On the day that the pope was
seized with his fatal illness the pigeon
came as usual, but found the window
closed. The bird tapped its wing
against the pane and then struck the
glass with its beak. The pope heard 1t
and ordered the window to be opened
and his camerier to feed It. The bird
would not eat, but perched itself on
the dying pontiff's couch, and there
demonstrated it's delight at seeing its
old friend and protector.
