FIDO KEEPS HIS
OLD RELIGION

The parrot Is regarded as an amaz-
ingly clever bird. because OF its pow
er OF speech. although the owl, that
doesn't talk, is the symbol OF human
wisdom. Every person who has an
animal pet thinks it the cleverest in
existence and is always telling OF its
latest cleverness.
A British author writes OF a dog
that he claims could tell time. This
dog. a terrier had been in the habit
Of jumping on his masters bed and
waking him up every morning at Z
o'clock. When daylight saving time
went into effect the man was anxi-
Gus to see what his dog would do.
Next morning when the clock struck
seven. although in reality II was only
six o'clock. the terrier woke his mas
ter. His master explained that he
was able TO count the strokes OF the
clock.
A bird fancier made II a practice
to throw crumbs on his lawn to the
birds. every morning after breakfast.
The bird-lover saw to hts dismay one
morning a brid fall victim to the
cat. He decided to stop throwing
the crumbs and was surprised a few
mornings later to see the cat spread
ing crumbs on the lawn and then re-
firing to his hiding place to wait for
the birds
