CURRIMINAL CARLESSNESS.
Our beautiful collie, of whom you've
heard tell,
Has eight little puppies we are will
ling to sell.
She had nine at first, but sat on one
one day
While she counted them o'er in
motherly way.
She thought she had nine, but count

While the puppy beneath her sue
cumbed to its fate.
She counted again with a sad, puz-
zled frown,

fore she sat DOWN.

way,

And the puppy she sat on, with its
wee, flattened mug
Looked like nothing at all but
young collie rug.
