A Minister in a Scottish village was explaining why he never in- vited other ministers to preach in his pulpit. "If anither mon came and preached better than Ah do," he said, “ma folk would never listen to me again, and if he didna preach better than Ah do, he wouldna be worth listening
to,"
SAYS MR. PEPPERCORN:
We got talking about dogs the other night, when somebody said they could see things that were invisible to humans, and Jim Pratt told us of a curious experi- ence he once had on Dartmoor.
He was stopping with an elder- ly couple in a cottage on the edge of the moor between Mana- ton and Widecombe.
It was a wild night and they were all three sitting in front of the big fireplace with a dog, a Kerry blue, at their feet.
During a sudden gust the dog got up with a growl and stood staring at the far corner of the room.
The only light came from the burning logs, and, looking into the shadows, Jim and the old couple could see nothing, but the dog started walking very slowly across the room,
Nobody spoke-hardly daring to breathe and wondering what was going to happen, until the dog" came back with a bone.
