Peter and the Dogs.

There is a monkey in the Philadelphia zoo, and his name is Peter. Peter got out of the zoo one day. and as he is a valuable monkey all the keepers that could be spared started on the chase. Peter was out for the day, it seemed. He ran across the bridge that leads to an island In the Schuylkill river, and he hid in the shrubbery. The keej>ers could not find him until they got some dogs and put them on the scent. Then Peter decided that the chase was becoming too exciting, and he jumped on the shoulder of one of the keepers and rode back to the zoo with his arms around the man’s neck. :l ", ■

The Boundary Line Road. It went by grandma's; just outside the gate upon the hill. And if we walked beside that fence we always kept quite still. We thought they called it “Lion road.” 'Twas safer not to talk For fear one might be wandering by, just . 'going for a walk. And once we peeped outside the gate. The road stretched gray and wide Uphill. We thought the lions lived upon the other side. And in the quiet afternoons, though we r would stop our game i f To listen for a faroff roar, no lions ewer came! Youth's Companion.
