THE SAD FATE OF MONTI-. 



T11IS story comes under the head of " Froth " in a 

 contemporary : — 

 There was no better behaved dog in the entire 

 State of Illinois than Ballard'a "Monfe." Lie was 

 young, handsome, intelligent, educated, and of good 

 moral habits, lie was a high-bred setter, with long, 

 soft liuir, ilui'k brown in color and tawny under the 

 throat, His eyes were BDft and melting in their ex- 

 pression, His silken ears had the patrician droop, and 

 his aristocratic tail was eloquent in its expression of 

 joy and affection, and rigid aa an axe-handle when its 

 owner r-anie to a point. As for his no.se— there never 

 was such a nose linn-, h> a. dog before. He could scent 

 a quail across a forty-acre field, anil could retrieve any- 

 thing except his refutation in me tatter part of his ca- 

 reer. When Ballard was nervous or thiatered, and 

 missed good shots, jfforlte cheerfully came up to be 

 licked with the ramrod, magnanimously taking all the 

 blame on himself; hut, when anybody else of the party 

 fail shot, Monto made up attempt to conceal 

 . , .i , ii On these occasions he usu- 



ally relieved his mind by licking the other Jog. 



Monte had a bright future before him. But, alas ! In 

 an evil he-ur, he lasted his, lirsl glass of beer, i 



,etit Was a ruined dog. The way of it was 

 this: It was a hot Jay in AugUhf, and Ballard and his 

 friend had been hunting over the fiery stubble for hours. 

 ir was to be bad, though a keg of beer was in 

 i a was nearly gone up. Tlis tongue, 

 bung oiit a foot or more, and bis palpitating Sales in- 

 dicated Bpeedy dissolution, Ballard, unable to obtain
