TOWSER TALKS.

: Cinderella The Little Glass Slipper

I am not a big dog and I don't know very much, but I know more

than I used to. The reason why I know more than I used to is

because I asked Carlo some questions once. I asked him what made

him so gaunt and thin and why he had such an enquiring expression

on his face and such a hump on the top of his head. He didn't

answer right away, and--I noticed the enquiring expression

vanished. He looked quite decided. Then someth
ng happened,--I

don't know exactly what, but Mary, the cook, told the butler that

it made her dizzy just to look on. And then Carlo said:--



"One reason why I am gaunt and thin is because I am not a little

up-start of a pug,--of no earthly use under Heaven, and nothing

to do but waddle around and accumulate fat.



"The reason I have an enquiring expression on my face is because

I am ever on the outlook to anticipate my master's will and do

his slightest bidding.



"As for the hump on the top of my head, that is a mark given by

the Creator only to dogs that have intellect. Pray that yours may

grow!"



That is all he said, but it was enough for one day and has

furnished me food for thought ever since.
