being suddenly called away. and not
wishing to spend time to go to the
galley. he seized the messpot full Of
knives and forks and stuck 1t In the
muzzle of the ten-inch gun, putting the

afterward the admiral came aboard,
and as the gun was loaded with blank

buy two collars.

Maybe so,' said the dealer so the
man went away leading the dog by
his new collar and chain.
In less than a week he brought the
dog back.
I'm afraid I can't keep him." he
said He is too obstreperous can't
keep him tied up. His neck IS the
biggest part of him and he is as strong
es an OK, therefore it is a sinch for
him to slip his collar on"

both on and fasten the chain TO the

The Gordian Knot,

The famous Gordian knot was made
Of leather taken from some part of the
harness belonging TO the chariot of
Gordius. king OF Phrygia. 1t seems that
this knot was SO tied that. the ends of
the leather thong was not visible hence
the difficulty in loosing it. Many must
have tried to unite it. for its fame as
"stickler" at last reached the great
Oracle, which declared that the lucky
experimenter should be rewarded by
the kngship of Persia. Alexander,
trying his hand and meeting with no
better success than the others, drew
his sword and cut into the knot until
he found the ends of it.
