"To whom did tliq princess give llttlo

"Ilia mother," shouted the delightful

"What did Moses' mother do with

DOQ8 TRAINED TO RE8CUE.
Employed on the Mfe-SnrlnB Corp
of I'nrla Police Force.
Tho training of tho young Newfound
lands that arc periodically added to
the police staff Is ono of the sights of
Paris. It takes place In tut headquar
ters of the agents plongcurs, a Binnll
building on tho quayside not far from
tho Cathedral of Notre Dame. Dogs
nnd men enter Into the exorcise with
zest nnd there Is usually a crowd of on
lookers. Only dummy figures nro used,
but tho "rescue" Is nevertheless n real
istic affair.
Tho big dogs know perfectly well
what tho exercise means and they wait
with comic enthusiasm until the dum
my Is thrown Into the wnter and an
agent plongeur rushes out on hearing
the splash nnd outcry of the spectators.
Whllo the men nro busy with lines nnd
life buoys the dog plunges Into tho
wnter, swims to tho dummy, wntches
with rare Intelligence for nn opportun
ity to get nn advantageous hold cud
then it cither swims ashore or waits
for Its master, who brings to tho rescue
long poles, cork twits and tho like. Tho
moro experienced dogs, however, will
enslly effect n rescuo from first to last
without humnn assistance, and It is nn
Inspiring sight to watch them looking
for n foothold on the slippery sides of
tho river bank and pulling the heavy
dummy Into n plnco of safety.
It takes about four months to train
tho dogs etllclently. They nro nlso ,
euargeu wmi mo protection or incir
masters when attacked by the desper
ate rulllans who sleep under the arches
of the bridge In summer. Thus In Paris
tho police dogs aro n proved success.

Only n single cabbage remained of
tho wagon load of produce with which
the huckster had started In. It. wns
n good head, nnd the keen-witted huck
ster wns nllve to tho chance of Helling
It, although tlio hour wns Into. As ho
glanced from sldo to side of tho Btrcet,
seeking n purchaser, nays n writer In
tho Now York Hun, ho was hailed from
u doorway by a housewife's cry:
"What nro you Belling?"
"Wiion, II1II l" snid thu vender to his
dorso; and to tho prospective customer
he cnllcd, "Only ono cabbage left, miss
us!" "la It a good one?" sho asked, from
tho curb.
"Suro; fis good ns nny over came
from Jersey."
"How much do you wnnt for It?"
"U'h worth n dime, Indy, but I wont
to sell out, so you can have It for n
nickel."
After pulling off somo of tho leaves
to innko sure tlio head was fresji nnd
sound, tho wouinn handed tho huckster
n nickel. Tho coin was transferred to
his pocket, nl ready well-tilled, and tho
cnbhngo was placed In tho woman's
nrms.
As sho turned to go, another womnn
who had como up during the bargain
ing said to tho merchant:
"(lot any cnblmgt'?"
"Yes, ma'am; one head left"
"How much Is It?"
"Ten centH."
"Is It n good head?"
"Finest kind of Long Island cab
bage."
The womnn who had Just Iwught tha
last head of cabbage wns astonished by
his calm assertion thnt lie had ono left
when sho knew tlio Ixittoiu of his cart
wns bnre. Sho wnlted to seo how ho
would satisfy tho second woman.
When tho Inst comer said, "I'll tnko
It," tlio huckster turned calmly to tho
owner of the cnbbugo. took It from her
nrms nnd handed It to tho new custom
er. At tho fmuto time ho took her dlmo
from her fingers.
As tlio first womnn stood with mouth
open, too nstonlshed to protest, tho so
ond walked nwny. Then tho womnn do
prlved of her cabbngo fouud volco to
say, Indignantly:
That was my cabbage I How "
Tho huckster Interrupted her with:
"Yes, ma'am, I know It. Hero's tho
dlmo I got you for It. You're n nickel
in."
"nut I didn't want to soil It."
"Didn't wnnt to sell It !" ho exclaim
