He has not long to wait, for the carriage soon obtains a fare and is started on its journey, and drags the hand cart off in its wake, to the great consternation of the woman who is seated on top of the furniture, which threatens to fall off at each swerve of the hand cart. The others, coming out of the cafe and seeing their furniture being led off, rush pell mell and finally overtake it, and getting the janitress at a disadvantage, dislodge her from her position, and proceed on their way, leaving the janitress to walk home gt her leisure, which she does, venting her rage at being outdone by tenants who do not pay their rent. THE DOG ACROBATS. CAUMONT. - It is astonishing what can be done with dogs by careful training, and this film shows their cleverness. The setting shows the exterior of a cot- tage, a dog sitting at the window, evidently on the lookout for someone. He has not long to wait when another dog, Romeo, sulks in on his hind legs, bearing a bag of flowers on his fore legs, which he im- mediatelv hands to the canine Juliet. The love-making of these two dogs is very clever, especially when it comes to the leave-taUir.g. Romeo is extremely loath to leave his fair mistress, and his departure s hastened by what we may presume to be he mother of the,fair maiden appearing at ihe window above and emptying therefrom bag of flour, which smothers the lover md causes him to make a speedy exit. After shaking off the flour he reappears ind is joined by the fair maiden, and to- jether they perform a very pretty waltz. Iter whxfi the trainer appears and bows :o the audience, putting the dogs through a rery pretty acrobatic act, which for intel- ligerce and variety is extremely interest- ing. show : ng the careful training and vast amount of patience he must have had ere the dogs could perform such wonderful feats.

A poet is writing a delightful sonnet. His wife is going out, and she brings him their eldest to kiss; he kisses the child, but to his horror his wife places it in a cradle by his* side. Then she brings in the eldest but one, and places that in an arm-chair on the other side. Finally she brings in the tiniest baby, and forcing that into the re- luctant fathers arms, rushes out and leaves him just as all three children begin to yell their loudest The distracted father tries to soothe first one child, and then another, and his friend the Lieutenant enters while he is in the middle of it He pushes the Lieutenant into a chair, saddles all three babies into his lap before he can say a word and rushes from the room. The Lieu- tenant follows as quickly as he can with the three children in his arms. Then be- gins a chase of the wildest and most ex- citing order. The poet walks rapidly along reciting his verse as he goes; his friend the Lieutenant meeting the Colonel outside, forces one baby into his arms and the two give pursuit; a policeman whom they pass is pressed into the chase and given the third baby to carry. They dash through the streets and out on the tow-path by the river, followed by an ever increasing crowd of children. Other policemen join in, and becoming imbued with the spirit of the thing," they seize babies from the arms of astonished mothers as they pass, and all, including the mothers, give chase to the distracted poet By this time the crowd has swelled to about one hundred, and they swarm over fields and through hedges, and tumble and scramble down the steep banks, until at last the poet sinks exhausted be- hind a blackberry bush. Then the people carrying babies begin to arrive, and very soon the luckless father finds himself al- most- smothered under a heap of six screaming, struggling mites, three of which may or may not be his own, and three cer- tainly are not. Next come the mothers, and begin wildly sorting out the babies to find their own offspring, and they all unite in denouncing the, unhappy man, who is marched off by the policemen. 315 pants, and rides off. The coach has not proceeded far, when it is again stopped, this time by the constables, who are anxious to learn the whereabouts of "The Knight of the Road." An exchange is made with one of the passengers, who, knowing the country well, is eager to assist: The pursuers have to. change horses, be- cause their animals are distressed. Dick stops at an inn for refreshment when he hears his pursuers approaching The landlord argues and tries to disarm their suspicions, but they rush past him in time to see their prey vanish through the back door. They tear furiously after him Clearing a high toll-gate, Dick leaves the officers far behind. They are further hin- dered by the toll-keeper, who insists upon his full dues before opening the gate.
