but has some queer notions lie dislikcs
! dogs above all things, organ-grinders and
beggars not excepted.
SnarPs next door neighbor is Harry Samp-
son. Now, Harry is the very opposite of old
MIR. Snarl. He sets a high value on dog,
and thinks there is only one article equal to
Newfoundlander, and that's woman
larry has several specimens of the canine
race. The other evening they got UP howl
ing match because the moon became eclips-

This so annoyed Mr.. Snarl that he had
Harry jerked up "for a nuisance" and fined
$40. Harry pad tho money, bat resolved
on revenge. The next morning the follow
