Co0LEY,s NEW DOG.

that very few neighbors have cour
age enough to enter Cooley's yard.
Judge Pstman, however, had to 60
In there The other day for tna pur
pose Of collecting bill, and he
told me that he wasn't a particle
afraid, because he possessed the
power OF holding wild animals
with his eye. When he l0okr d

brute quailed before his glance and

opened the gate and went In
Cooley's dog heard him coming,
and Immediately flewto meet him.
The Judge fixed his eye on the an
imal for the purpose Of holding it,
but the dog did not seem to notire
The circumstance. But still the
Judge looked, and still the dog
came on. Then 1t seemed to occur
10 the Judge thu his kind Of an
eye might not hold this kind Of
dog, and he suddenly moved to-
ward the apple tree, with the dog
close behind him. He became
panic STRIFE .en, and made furious
effort to Chamber up the trunk. -
lie had Just reached the first limb
when the dog arrived and made
soap at him. The dogs teeth
caught in the lower part of the
judges trouser-leg, and as it Is q
bulldog, he held on; while the
Judge law across the limb on his
mach, out Of breath, frightened
and uncertain what to do. II he
dropped, the dog woulc ertainly
eat him; IL he climbed further up
he would have TO take the dog
with him. He had Just made up
his mind to stay where he was
while bis strength lasted when he
thought he heard the limb crack
Ing. and then he yelled for help.
Then Cooley came out, and after
making the Judge premise to take
70 per cent. of the bill, he pried
open the dogs jaws with the
Kitchen poker, and dragged him
into the stable. The judge came
down hot, breathless, and mac
and he has said 10 me since, pri-
saielv. that the next time he
wants 10 hold a dog '. 18th his eys
he will impale him on a hay fork
first. That Is a safe ways anyhow.

1t is said that these cars cost less
