In New Jersey tha clay Is very red,
and work on the street makes tha mud
accumulate very fast. On Bergen Hill,
where Mrs. Gardner and Big Ben, her
collie doe lived, they were grading tha
streets, and Ben would go out for a
ramble or a play and come to the house
with his feet covered with mud. One
day, after a very heavy rain, Ben went
for a walk, then came -onto the porch,
Vapped at the door to come In, leaving
a red track wherever his feet touched.
Mrs. Gardner's sister went to the door
and said to Ben; "Ben Latimer, look at
your feet I Just sea the mud I I'm ashamed
of you I Now come down to the foot of
the steps to the mat and I will show
you how to clean your feet" Ben drop
ped his head and followed her down to
the mat. She took first ono foot and
wiped It on the mat all over, then an
other, until all four feet were clean.
Then she said; "Ben Latimer, never
come onto that porch again with such
dlty feet, but wipe them every time be
fore you come onto the porch."
Ben came Into the house, and In an
hour or two ho went for another walk;
the family saw him coma through the
gate, so they said, "We'll see If he re
members." He started to come up the
steps, stopped perfectly still, looked at
uls feet, and proceeded to wipe first one,
then the other, until they were clean
enough to satisfy him, then he knocked
on the door and came Into the house, a
very nappy dog. Clvlo Club Bulletin.

BIG DEMAND FOR FISH

Shad Selling at $1.50 nnd $2
and Other Kinds Share in

An unusually heavy demnnd for tho
delectable Rliad due to tho Lenten sea

weather has caused an unprecedented
scarcity Is responsible for tho present
high prices of tho fish. Today small shad

75 cents each last season.
"Phll.idolplilnns nro dally consuming

"We're not getting any shad from tho

"It's all coming from North and South
Carolina, and tho amount wo receive Is
pretty small. Usually wo got BOO shad
In ono shipment ; now we're lucky If wo

Unsettled weather, according to dealers,
which existed throughout tho shad season
In tho Carollnns, caused tho bad catch
However, this fact may proo welcomo
to tho local fishermen, many of whom nre

In schools, since many wero unablo to
