That pa ient creature, 'hat h.-ts so

has put her head into it, so to speak.
Last Wednesday morning, she
thought she saw something suspioous
ill the bottom of a barrel and began
an investigation.
Being ot a feminine pet-vision, and
necessarily endowed with mote curios,
ily than precaution, she did not stop
to consider, that her head was a little
larger than the opening in the barrel.
Down went her head into the barrel
forcing her horns through the staves.
But, after her curiosity was satisfied
she attempted to withdraw her head.
We present an illustration showing
her attitude at the time, from a light
ning sketch by the News artist.
