A DOG'S SENSE OF HUMOUR. 



\jMarch 9, 1895.] 



DOES the following dog-story show a sense 

 of humour ? A retriever was in the habit of 

 leaving his bed in the kitchen when he heard 

 his master descending the stairs in the morn- 

 ing. On one occasion a new kitchen-maid 

 turned him out of his bed at a much earlier 

 hour than usual. He looked angrily at her, 

 but walked out quietly. Time passed, and 

 he was nowhere to be found. At last, in 

 going to her bedroom, the kitchen-maid 

 found him coiled up in her own bed.
