man on the floor, and large Newfoundland dog,
a favorite in the family, was upon him, holding him
down. Mrs Dickinson told the man he had been
stealing. He promptly denied it. She tried to call
the dog off, but could not; she then told him that if
he had stolen anything the dog would not let him go
I'LL he gave it up After some further parey, the
dog holding on with firm grip, the man took sill
yer spoon from his pocket, which he had taken from

However as soon as the spoon was thrown upon the
floor, the dog letgo, and the fellow was allowed to
leave the premises. Such dog is worth having.
