A Dog Newsboy.
A shepherd collie delivering .news
papers with clock-work regularity, and.
performing many other businesslike
acts, is a familiar sight upon the
streets of Rockville Centre, Long
Island. “Spot,” in company with his
young master, covers a large territory,
and so accurate, courteous and depend
able is this pair of hustling news
dealers that patronage may be said to
increase by leaps and bounds.
Early every morning the boy and
dog start out with a big bundle of pa
pers, Sometimes the boy rides a bi
cycle, but generally the rounds are
made on foot. The dog takes the pa

The millionaire accepted the farm
er's cordial invitation to ride, and
with much scrambling gained a seat
on top of the hay.
“My good man." said the million
aire. patronizingly, “this swaying,
rolling, sweet-scented divan is a couch ;
upon which I could win slumber and be
irresistible to the arms, or Morpheus
whenever I courted sweet sleep.’’
, The farmer stiffened. “I’ll hear no
more of your talk; I'm a respectable
married man, an’ I’ll ask you where
you’re goin’ so I can avoid the place.”
Dreamily the millionaire smiled.
“I’m getting T>ack to Mother Nature,
who has been outraged and abused by
me for years; I am a broken man, and
she will forgive me and bring me back
to health.” «

white and long hair, and the eternal
wonderful Jesuit’s smile. They ad

two royal personages leading the mas

proached the gilded armchairs imme

and Princess indicated to the master
that he was to sit between them at
the table covered with flowers. He
made little pantomimes or modesty, be
drew his hands through their grasp, he
walked quickly away from the arm
