Couldn't Hear the Music.
Colonel Bnrr of Virginia was a
mighty fox hunter and loved the sport
beyond words. He owned a fine pack of
hounds , and , during the season , thought
of nothing but his hunters , his dogs ,
and the weather. He wa3 once enter
taining an army friend from Texas ,
whose ideas of hunting any animal involved - I
volved the use of firearms , and who had
never seen a foxhound. He had been
with difficulty persuaded to go forth ,
one morning with the colonel and some
friends to a meet , and they were wait
ing impatiently for the hounds to take
the scent. Presently there burst upon
their listening ears the din of 80 canine
voices in full cry. The colonel's eyes
gleamed , and , as he settled his feet in
the stirrups and stretched his arm to
ward the yelping pack , he cried , "Ma
jor , liBten to that heavenly musicl"
The major pricked up his ears for a second
end or two and then replied , "I can't
hear a thing ; those d d dogs are mak-
ing.such a noise. " The colonel put hia
spur savagely into his horse's side and
dashed away , leaving his guest to his
own devices. San Francisco Argonaut.
"I wanted to speak to you about that
dog you sold me , " said the small man.
"Well , he's all there , ain't he ? "
"Yes. But you told me he was a
hunting dog ? "
"Do you mean to contradict what J
said ? "
"Not for the world , sir not for the
world 1 But I will go so far as to say I
didn't understand that his specialty was
hunting a place to lie down and sleep
in. " Washington Star.
