“SWEET DREAMING “What are queried swallowed in a single gulp. you gittin’ for dogs to-day?" Henry. “Closing ’em out at two dollars apiece,’’ swered Fitch, throw- ing the chunk on the scales. “‘What’shisname?”’ “*Scoot."" Scoot?" {es, Scoot.’’ ems «= “Dang funny name for a dog!’ muttered Henry. “It’s Scoteh for ‘Scout.’ You see, he ‘was once owned by a Scotchman, and nat- urally his name got reduced to ‘Scoot,’'’ explained Fitch, pocketing the meat money, to which was added two dollars. “Better keep him tied up for a day or two, till he gets used to you. You see, he thinks the world of me,”’ added the meatman, driving off. “Oh, I'll take care of him, all right!’" yelled the blacksmith. ‘‘Dogs like me, too. They'll stay with me till the cows come home!"’ Fitch, chuckling to himself, made his rounds and returned to the market. “‘Not bad!’ he grinned. ‘‘Eight dol- lars cash and five more on credit! I wonder who he belongs to, anyway? What the’’. A snapping and snarling interrupted his musings, and, looking in the direc- tion of his meat cart, he saw Scoot and his own dog cutting black and yellow circles in the dust. FACES" “Well, I'll be jig-sawed if Scoot ain’t slipped his collar!'’ exclaimed Fitch, rushing out and thrusting his heavy boots between the growling gladiators. ‘‘Here’s a pretty mess!’’ he continued, scratching his head reflectively, ‘‘Ah, I have it! To-morrow I make a trip in the opposite direction, and maybe there'll be some- body out there who'll want to buy a good dog!"” Dignity is all right in its place, but it never yet caught a moving train of cars. Spring ND NOW the astute druggist man re- plenishes the sulphur can, unto the jobber writes his needs concerning bulbs and garden seeds, removes the fountain from dry dock, and puts fly paper into stock. So we may safely understand that gentle spring is near at hand. Plays We All Could Write: The Irish Play—In which the brave young Irish laddie is persecuted by Eng- lish soldiers in red coats.
