Couldn’t Be Fooled Twice.

There is a fox terrier of remarkable intelligence Installed as ruling factor in a very happy and harmonious household up town, says the New Orleans Ttmes-Democrat. One of the favjrlte amusements of the terrier is playing with a soft rubber ball. The other day a member of the family filled the soft ball with water. The terrier- pounced upon the ball, chewed down on it, squirted the water down his throat and dropped the ball. After repeated efforts he emptied the ball of wattir and enjoyed his play. The next day he again found the ball full of wawr and for a while seemed very disconsolate as he gazed sadly at the toy. He left it for a few minutes and thej, rushing at the ball, deliberately stepped upon it with one of his front feet and stood upon it until the water was all squeezed out.
