As the Amateur wife stood disconsolately

unused parlor
with vague presentment OF evil his

And the first flare Of light from the
big chandelier showed that Her Husbands
silk hat was a wreck in a sea Of chewed
up pasteboard.
One arc of its circular surface had been
bitten out-the rest had been licked coress-
ingly against the grain till It resembled
particularly thick and turbulent plush.
The Amateur wife had been followed into
the room by Her Husband and, awed by
the magnitude of their doom, both re-
viewed the wreck in silence.
But Woof-woof had him trained 10 ap-

Her Husbands Voice Tells Friend Wife About the New
ny AMrRE MAN Nationasm of Flowers
BY AMERB MAN.

Excitement relgned In Mountainvine, or,
rather, In that particular corner OF il
where the Amateur wife practsed her
domestic accomplishments and the POST
Graduate Husband gave her the benefit of
his superior learning and advice. The occa-
sion was the opening day OF a Collie Kim
derRarten.
Tho Post Graduate Husband had decided
that their dog-the golden Woof-Woof-
was too much Of thing OF beauty and by
no means shining example Of the higher
education OF CANNES
He's nothing but a handsome mutt"
the Amateur wife had remarked. while
Woof-Woof waEged his tail as II she had
paid a subtle compliment to his intelu-
geuce
Like many supposedly higher beings, he
was content to know that he was talked
about. the nature Of the comment he ex-
cited being altogether a secondary consd-
GRAFTON.
He doesn't know anything. because you
don't take the trouble to teach him" Her
Husband commented severely
But how can / teach him? Yesterday
when you went away he ran to the parlor
window to look after you and tore a big
hole through the lace curtains trying to
sec out. yelled at him and called him all
the names l could think of. so ! suppose
he'll never do It again. But you remem-
her how he chewed the ear off our leopard
rug? What good will 1t do for me to
teach him not TO do It again? The leopard
only has two ears
IT'S all a matter Of training" Her Hus-
hand answered. You can teach a dog to
let things alone. II you go at it properly,
Just to show you I'll start tonight"

Apd 1t proved to be great fun for Wool
Wool and equally diverting for his master
and mistress.
First I'll teach him to bring up the
paper in the morning. You go up to the
second floor and I'll send him up. Or,
maybe you'd better call him when ! get
the paper in his mouth"
In ten minutes after the first trial Wool
Wool was following his news route up
and down the stairs with unfailing fidelity
and delight
From handling the mails Woof-Woof was
initiated into the difficulties of the express
business, learning to carry gloves. cane,
an umbrella and even a pair of the Post
Graduate Husbands shoes.
Il had no idea the dog was intelligent"
observed the mentor. approvingly. There's
no danger of his chewing anything up II
YOU let him understand that he must not
do II. Dogs are a good deal like children.
Firmness and patience are all that is nee
essary in training them
The Amateur wife smiled. But the smile
was not altogether one of cynicism. Her
Husband had made good in the matter Of
dogs He had exhibited great flrmness and
some patience in training the collie. Per-
haps his facial theories as to children
needed only to be demonstrated.
1t was early the next afternoon when
Her Husbands Voice told over the tele-
phone that he had tickets for the opera.

A Horse on Him

The tail -the-season reform that swept
over Coney island might well considered
the wellfar OF the wretched horses which
are used for the "dime-rlde" business.
When the season closes they are auctloned
off, and are knocked down to the bidders
at next TO nothing. Generally they are so
skeleton-like that they are practically
useless.
At the end OF this season a buyer bought
an exceptionally attenuated specimen after
he had been coaxed TO bid on him by num-
erous promises made by the auctioneer,
who wound up by saying:
Now, look a'here. boss, II you buy this
hawse an you amt pleased with the
animile, you just bring him back and get
your money-see?"
Yes" retorted the buyer; but this is
the last day OF the sale. and the beast Is
80 blamed thin he may die on my hands
Then, supposing did bring him back. you
probably wouldn't be here 10 receive him"
"Oh well" biandly replied the auc-
tioneer. IL you do bring him back and we
amt here, you kin just shove him under
the door. "-Eyerybody
