A Dog and an Egg.
A farmer in a western state possess
ed t\. > dogs, a big one called Alice and
a small one that was named Billy. AI
ie, greedy creature, was fond of fresh
eggs. When she heard a hen cackle she
always ran to look for the nest. One
day she l'ounu one under the fruit shed.
ISut she could not get the egg because
sin- was too large togo under the shed.
She went away and soon returned with
Billy, bringing him just before the
hole.
Billy was .--Ilipid and did not under
tainl. Alice put her head In and then
her paws without being able to reach
the egg. Billy seemed to understand
what was wanted. il« went under the
•■'het!, brought out the egit and put it
before Alice, who ate it with great sat
isi'ai lion, and then both dogs trotted
off together. Chicago Tribune.
Lively In the Tenements.
A young woman new to mission work
on the east side, New York, was lately
moved to comment sadly upon the
monotonous and cheerless existence of
the inhabitants of the tenements.
'1 suppose there is little brightness
and recreation in your lives," said she
to an eleven year old jjlrl.
"Oh. 1 don't know about that," an
swt red the girl. "It ain't so dull as
you might think. Dere's always some
;!.!.i' dulu' to keep us" from gittin' blue.
It': lively sonM-tinics, all right. For
If.-lance, las' night the people on our
ll>- ir was a cnttln' up high. Dere was
a gentleman next to us what had do
tremens, an' de lady right across the
hall from in was jagged so she nearly
bit her sister's ear off."—-New York
