"Ma doesn't know anything, because you don't take the trouble to teach him," ller Husband commented aoyerely. "Rut how can 1 teach him? YeXterday alien yon went away he ran lo the parlor window to look after you and tote a big hole through the lace curtains trying to see out. 1 yelled at III m and called lilin all the names I could think of. so 1 suppose he'll never do It again. But you remem her how he chewed the ear off our leopard rug? What good will It do for ma to teach him not tn do It again? The leopard only has two ears." "It's all a matter of training," Her Hus band answered. "You can teach a dog to let things alone. If you go at It properly. Just to show you I'll start tonight." was thus the Collie Kindergarten be gan. Apd It proved tt be great fun for Woof Woof and equally diverting for his master and mistress. "Flrat I'll teach him to bring up the paper In the morning. Toil go up to the second t floor and I'll send him up. Or, maybe you'd better call him when I get the paper In hla mouth." In ten mlnutea after the first trial Woof Woof was following hla news route up and down the ataira with unfailing fidelity and delight. From handling the malls Woof-Woof was Initiated Into the difficulties of the express huslnes. learning to carry gloves, a cane, an umbrella and even a pair of the Tost Graduate Husband's shoes. "I had no Idea the dog 'waa Inlelllgent." observed the mentor, approvingly. "There'a no danger of hla chewing anything up If you let him understand that he must not do it. Dogs are a good deal like children. Firmness and patience are all that la nec essary In training them." The Amateur Wife smiled. But the. smile waa not altogether one of cynicism, ller Husband had made good In the matter of dogs. He bad exhibited great firmness and some patience In training the collie. Per haps hla facial theories aa to phlldren needed only to be demonstrated. It was early th next afternoon when Her Husband's Voice told over the tele phone that ha had tickets for the opera. r ''Comin' I The south s brief twilight fell rapidly and from out th shadows of the wood a night bird's cry trembled weirdly upon the air. The little boy sitting on the veranda of the "big house" shivered at the sound and drew closer within the shelter of his father's arm. 'Daddy!" "Yes, Billy." "Won't you please turn your right-hand breeches pocket wrong-slde-out?" "What for?" "Don't you hear that screech-owl, daddy?" Billy's voice was low, and he toyed nerv ously .with his father's watch chain. "Tea, but what of It? You surely don't suspect me of having it In my pocket?" "Pshaw, daddy? 'course"" not " Billy laughed, forgetful of his fear. "He'a down in the wood, but he ll go away if you'll turn your pocket wrong-alde-out. Dllsey ' - ' "'" ' - An Odious Comparison J One afternoon recently, a frail llttla man started to cross Broadway at Forty-second street just when all sorts of fast-moving vehicles were whirling their matinee pat ions up the street. At the same Instant a very fleshy lady started from the curb directly opposite with the same purpose in mind. By remarkable luck, both succeeded in escaping the passing wheels, but, aa fat would have It, th little man, whos eyes were busy ogling the traffic on either aid of him, darted plump Into the on-coming woman at the middle of the street. The result was a sickening collision, with th Utile man down and out. "You should have looked wher you .wer going," tiald th fleshy woman, bending over the victim on the curb, to which he had been carried by a traffic .policeman. "Hut la there anything I can do for you?" "Yes," he replied faintly, opening his eye a momant: "get the number of the auto mobile that struck m."

The Amateur Wife gut out his evening clothes and put the studs In a dies shirt for him The J'ost Graduate Husband reached his home early so early that he was able to dress for dinner and sit opposite a rose colored and spangled vision that was love lier, perhaps, but by no means so com fortable and Intimate as the ehli-t-w alsted person that usually faced him. "I'm all ready but my hat." answered Her Husband, aa the grandfather clock struck 7. "I'm afraid you'll have to find that your self, dear," answered the Amateur Wife. "I don't even know where you keep your hatbox." Then the search began. It lastpd for twenty minutes and at the end of that time It was nearly time for their train. It was then that Woof-Woof awoke to the situation. Aa the Amateur Wife stood disconsolately In the hallway the colli ran up to her, wagged bis tall violently, and ran Into ths unused parlor. With a vague presentiment of evil, his mistress followed. And the first flare of light from the big chandelier showed that Her Husband's silk hat was a wreck In a sea of chewed up pasteboard. One arc of Its circular surface had been bitten out the rent had been licked caress ingly against the grain till It resembled a particularly thick and turbulent plush. The Amateur Wife had been followed Into the room by Her Husband and, awed by the magnitude of their doom, both re viewed the wreck In silence. Hut Woof-Woof had him trained to ap plause. Seizing the silk hat, he took a final bite out of Its once glossy surface and then humbly carried It to his master's feet. He waited expectantly. Then ha barked loudly. Insistently. "I see It'a all a matter of training," said the Amateur Wife." And she went upstairs to change her spangled opera clothes for a kimono. (Copyright. 1U. by the N. T. Herald Co.)

"My pocket's tore out I had a toad-frog in It today, an' when when I took It out an' slipped It down Dllsey'a back, mammy cut my pockets out." "Oh, I see. As a punishment, eh?" "Yes, suh. Mammy said Dllsey was tryln' to get religion, an' ahe didn't want anything to upset her temper till she'd come th'oo.

" Florence B. Gorman In Upplncott's. In a little country village, a crowd of loafers around a store, got to talking about echoes, and Jim Sanders said, down where he waa born and raised, there was an echo, end he used to put It to a peculiar use. He said that every night before he went to bed he would his bead out the window and say: "Jim Sanders! Seven o'clock; time to get up." He would start that echo going and next morning at 7 o'clock It would get back and say: "Jim Bandars! Seven o'clock; time to get up." Deacon Wltherapoon said h didn't know much about echoes, but he'd seen It rain about as hard as anybody ever seen It rain. Somebody said: "Deacon,' how hard did you ever se It rain?" , "Well, sir," said the deacon, "once upon a time, when I was at home, we had an old cider barrel laying out In the yard with both ends out and the bung-hole up and would you believe It, it rained so hard Into that bung-hole that water couldn't run out of both ends fast enough and It swelled up and busted." Wa thought that was pretty good for a deacon. Reuben Henry sold bs'd never seen ' It rain very hard, but he'd seen soma mighty cold weather. Somebody said: "Rub, how cold did you ever see It get?" He said: "Well, sir, on tim when I was living down In Pickaway county, In hog-kllling time, we had a kettle of boil ing water setting on the stove, and w took It out In the .yard and It fros so doggone quick the Ice was hot."

When the season closes they are auctioned off, and are knocked down to the bidders at next to nothing. Oenerally they are so skeleton-like that they are practically useless. At the end of this season a buyer bought an exceptionally attenuated specimen after he had been coaxed to bid on him by num erous promises mad by the auctioneer, who wound up by saying: "Now, look a' here, bosa, If you buy this haws an' you ain't pleased with the anlmlle, you just bring him back and get your money see?"
