She Was Teaching Him.

A lady, on entering the kitchen early one morning, saw a plate and knife and fork, the former of which had evidently contained cold rabbit pie. The lady strongly suspected a certain policeman of having supped off it, and the following conversation took place between her and the cook: Mistress —Mary, what’s become of the cold rabbit pie that was left ? Cook—Oh, I didn’t think it was wanted, mum, so I gave it to *he dog. Mistress (sarcastically)—Does the dog use a knife and fork* then ? Cook (unabashed) —Not very well yet, mum, but I’m teachiu’ him to.— London Tit-Bits. We do not see how the blacks and the whites can be placed on exactly the same footing, unless about six inches is sawed off the feet of the former.
