THE DOG THAT GOES TO SCHOOL
BY Bessie e, White.

Betty is small, brown and white
fox terrier. She goes to school every
day and likes 1t better than a great
many of the boys and girls, because
! she starts for the school house on Sat
urdays and Sundays and seems quite
disappointed when her haster calls
her back. While the school is in ses-
sion Betty lies quietly under the stove,
where 1t is nice and warm.
When the first grade is called out
and the little tots begin to read over
the lines. 'The busy squirrel runs
around, looks for acorne on the
ground the dog gets drowsy and,
smuggling her head on her paws. falls
asleep. Sometimes, when dreaming,
she flaps her short tail excitedly
against the sheet of zinc under the old
stove. Then the children smile q little
and the teacher remarks that Betty
is probably chasing squirrel"
The dog knows what the sounding
of the recess bell means quite as we'll
as any of the pupils. and usually
makes dash for the door, in order to
be the first one out. If some of the
children get ahead of her, she dances
into line near her master and goes out
with him. She never stays in at recess
but Is always out playing with the
boys and girls or chasing the squirrels
in and out among the trees around the
school house.
When the noon hour arrives Betty
keeps near the children her small
head poised expectaItly. They talk
to her and give her bits of meat and
bread. She likes candy and is very
fond of fruit, especially grapes
The dog does not sleep as much dur
ing the afternoon session. She wan
Gers up and down the aisles, visiting
this child and that one. Sometimes
