A valued pointer-dog saw a parrot in the vines on a trellis around a house at which his master hid called. The dog sprangup, " drew" bo the parrot, « fas. tened," and remained as motionless as a statute, till the bird, with a contemptuous flirt of his feathers, screamed, " Go home, you fool!" The dog turned and ran, and has never been knowu to point a bird since.
