Trot. I was always fond of a pet from boy. hood up, and, among other things, I had a bluck auke named Fitz, and he was daisy, too. He always sat at the table with us, and got so smart that he could drink coffes out of a cup as easy as the Professor there can drink whisky out of an old goord. How did he do it?. Why, he'd just make a loop around the cap, tilt it up, and pour the coffee right down his throat. If the coffee wasn't too hot, he'd stir it up with his tail first, so as to gat all the agar discusion, which were annown to him. A. J. WHITE, LIMITED, it Currut Rates

There wore troubles in the strest, mony promenades in the towns, throats of death proffered to Euro- peins, and the trouble advanced, triumphantly, M. Mokbanoff walked out, tranquil, in the midst of the disturbors, applying himself to protect our nationals. What he would value would be to be nominated, later on, Chevalier of the Lezion of Honour.

There was about 10 feet of water in the well, and he'd have boen in heaven now if it hadn't been for Fitz. The bucket wasn't Inwered but the snake lowered the rope down and followed it like a streak of light ning. When he got down he found my little boy clutching a loose piece of curbing with his tiny fingers. Well, to cut my story akort, for it makes me nervous seron now to think about it, he brought Johanio cut of the well safe.
How did he manage it, Colonel? in quired the much-interested Professor.
Why, he just tied himself in a dude knot around the baby's body under the arms and clim up the rope hand over hand like a sailor. When i got there he was un- tying the knot and the tears was just a sol. ling down his oheaks, he was so glad to think he had saved his little playmate. My wife made some hot sage tes for both of tham, so as they wouldn't lake cold, and the next day I gue Fitz thron tands that I went out and caught myself, for I knowed. he deserved a roward for his bravery.
