It Was His Doq
An automobile dashed along the
country road Turning a curve it came
suddenly upon a man with a gun ou
his shoulder and a weak sick looking
old dog beside him The dog was di
rectly in the path of the motor car
The chauffeur sounded his horn but
the doj diet not move until he was
struck After that he did not move
The automobile stopped and one of
the men got out and came forward
He had once paid a farmer 10 for
killing a calf that belonged to another
farmer This time he was wary
Was that your dog
Yes
You own him
Yes
Looks as if wed killed him
Certainly looks so
Very valuable dog
Well not so very
Will 5 satisfy you
Yes
Well then here you are He hand
ed a 5 bill to the man with the gun
and added pleasantly Im sorry to
have broken up your hunt
I wasnt going hunting replied the
other as he pocketed the bill
Not going hunting Then what were
you doing with the dog and the gun
Going down to the woods to shoot
the dog Youths Companion
Story of a Clever Jackdaw
In a small cottage In Herefordshire
there lived a family who owned a very
large but clever jackdaw which was
noted for Its very witty sayings One
day the jackdaw saw the lid of the
stewpot partly off so thinking he
should like a meat dinner he went out
and caught a frog and put it in the
boiling water In the stewpot which
had in some pieces of beef After this
the jackdaw went quietly back to his
perch and waited till dinner time All
went well till the cook began to shar
the dinner out before the family
Every time she pulled a piece of
meat out of the pot the jackdaw said
Thats not mine thats not mine till
at last the cook pulled out the frog
when he exclaimed in a very triumph
ant volee Thats mine thats mine
The shock nearly made the guests faint
away but nevertheless the jackdaw
got his meat dinner while the others
did without for a change London An

are taken by surprise A New Hamp
shire man who was spending his vaca

do went out one morning to inspect a
large incubator in which the young
chicks were hatching In one corner of
the incubator a neglected peach seed
encouraged by the warmth of the at
mosphere had burst and a tiny sprout
several inches long was growing out
of it
Suffering Caesar exclaimed the
New Hampshire man as this caught
his eye Do you hatch out your peach

Legend of the Moss Rose
A German tradition gives the origbt
of the moss rose as follows An angel
came to earth in mortal guise He
sought a place of shelter and reposo
after his labors of love but every door
was shut against the heavenly visitor
At length the angel being very weaiy
sank upon the ground and over him a
rosebush spread like a tent It caught
upon its outspread leaves the falling
dew -which -would otherwise have
drenched the messenger of love Wak
ing the angel said to the rose
Thou hast yielded the shelter that man
denied
A proof of my love shall with the abide
And the green moss gathered about tb
stem
While the dewdrops shone like a diadem
Crowning the blushing flower
