A Very Superior Dog!
“Dash, the Dachshund.”
This is not our dog, he belongs to a friend of ours and often comes to see us. He is quite at home at our place and is very friendly with our dogs.
Dash is a very polite and gentlemanly creature, his coat is sleek and shiny and is always beautifully clean, and he hates the wet and mud, and is most careful where he walks. Altogether he is a very superior dog.

Ned Hits The Wall!
NED’S HORSE.
And he learned the fact that as a rule,
No mending is done without a tool,
And he carried his horse to a carpenter,
Who said, “I’ll mend it, my little sir.”
And really he mended the head so well
That the broken place you could hardly tell,
And proud as a lord was gallant Ned
Who mounted his hobby-horse and said,
“You never could mend a live horse’s-head,
So I’ll keep my wooden one instead.”

The dish jump’d up on the table,
To see the pot swallow the ladle.

Threw the pudding-stick on the floor.

Can’t you agree?
I’m the constable,
Bring them to me.

Escape 1906 San Francisco Earthquake!
San Francisco to Oakland to Sacramento!
“Let us cross the bay to Oakland as soon as we can. Perhaps the quake will not run under the bay and we will be safe if we can reach Oakland.” And the three ran down the street keeping together this time, for they knew every-one was too excited to pay attention to them.
———-
“All aboard for Sacramento and the far east,” called the conductor, as he swung himself onto the train as it moved slowly out of the depot.
“Now,” said Billy, “we must follow the track the train is on until we get out of the city and then we will be all right, for there will be only one track running east.

Puppy – A Bone As Big As Himself!
“Ethel’s Puppy”
Now, what do you think of Cousin Ethel’s little foxterrier. From the very moment that his eyes opened and he could waddle about, he was in trouble, and that has continued ever since. His name is Scamp, which suits him very well, and he is four months old next Thursday.
Last Monday he distinguished himself by stealing a bone nearly as big as himself. Cook had something to say to this, and Scamp still feels very sore, but he is friendly with Cook all the same: he thinks it best to keep in with her.

APRIL
Ah, winsome little April!
Who can resist your wiles?
Your darling face now wet with tears,
Now wreathed with sunny smiles.
Above the dull clouds round you
Old Sol looks down in glee,
While yet the pelting rain doth pour
Upon you steadily.
Have patience, little April,
He knows what he’s about;
The raindrops soon will disappear
And he’ll come shining out.
And you and he together
Will work to clear the way,
On which are brought spring’s blossoms
By your sweet sister May.

Baby Food For The Wild Boar’s Piglets!
“BABY AT THE PIGLETS’ HOME.”
The boar, without so much as a “by your leave,” caught up Baby in his wide mouth and made off with him. . . running as fast as he could for the hills where his family lived in a cave. Baby was greatly surprised though not alarmed at this singular way of traveling. It was a topsy-turvy way. Sometimes his head was uppermost and sometimes his feet.
But the old boar held him gently, and Baby held by the boar’s ear, and kept himself tolerably upright part of the time. He never had ridden so fast in his life. In fact he had never ridden at all except on his father’s knee.
When they arrived at the family cave, the old boar tossed him to his family of piglets and said with a grunt: “Here, children, is a fine fat morsel for you!”
But he had forgotten that his piglets had not yet cut their teeth, and could not have eaten the finest, fattest morsel in the world.

To the cat we are large uneatable prey!
. . . I do not speak of the cat, to whom we are nothing more than a too large and uneatable prey: the ferocious cat, whose sidelong contempt tolerates us only as encumbering parasites in our own homes.
Curious Crocodiles Beside The River Nile!
“A Curious Sight”
. . . But wait until you’ve heard me tell
About my Crocodile.
And then I think that you’ll agree
You didn’t know such things could be
Beside the river Nile.
He wore a coat of brilliant hue,
He’d trousers and a waistcoat, too;
Upon his head a hat;
His gloves were of the latest shade,
A neat umbrella he displayed –
Now, what do you think of that?
But even as I gazed in awe,
A stranger figure still I saw –
It would have made you smile –
For there approached with gown so neat,
With hat and feathers all complete,
A Lady Crocodile!
They greeted one another, then
Went arm in arm across the plain
Beside the river Nile.
I’ve searched, but ah! I’ve searched in vain,
I’ve never seen a trace again
Of either Crocodile!

For of all the cures I’m sure it is the best.”
