A True Dog Story.
TheV Times says this is a true clog story: —A fa'/y‘V down town having a false grate in one of° (l c i rooms of the house placed some red paper behind it to give the effect of fire. One c.f the coldest days this winter the dog belonging to the household came in from out of dc >rs, and seeing the paper in the grate deliberately walked up to it and lay down before it, curled up the best way to receive the glowing heat as it came from the lire. He remained motionless for a few minutes ; feeling no warmth he raised his head and looked over his shoulder at the grate ; still feeling no heat he arose and carefully applied his nose to the grate and smelt it. It was cold as ice. With a look of the most supreme disgust, his tail curled down between his legs, every hair on his body saying “I’m sold,” the dog trotted out of the room, not even deigning to cast a look at the party in the room who had watched his actions and laughed so heartily at his misfortunes. That dog had reason as well as instinct.
