BUT ZE DOG
Recent shows have brought to the surface one or two new dog stories. One of the best is of a Frenchman who called on the owner of a rather ferocious dog. When he tried to get near the house the dog barred his way, barking furiously, and the Frenchman paused irresolutely. His friend, the dog's owner, came to the door. - 'lt's all.right!' he said, 'don't be alarmed! You know the proverb, "Barking dogs don't bite!" ' . - 'Ah, yes,' said the Frenchman, very sensibly. 'I know ze proverb, you know ze proverb, but ze dog * does he know ze proverb?' ■'■'*
