We can believe almost anything that we
read in a newspaper, but the following from
the river column of the Courier ourual is IL
little too strong:
Our jack was standing under a cart-body
on the levee yesterday, chewing red under
shirt and splitting blood, when a couple Of
tOw-headed disciples of Bill Roditer slipped |
in and tied an old umbrella to his tail, which
was spliced tight to the handle, and it shut.
The ack " chawed away that under
shit and spit until he got dry and hot. 50
he backed ont and Started out to get drink !
Not being able to account for the stiffness in
his tail, he looked blackwell, he kicked that
umbrella open, aGd sbutrl for the wharf !
boat ife went so fast that the open nm |
brel|a, catching full Of wind, brought him to
a dead stop every twenty-five feet. lie
stopped forty times between that coal carS |
and the wharf boat
Just as he was about to conclude that tn
open thing behind him woald pull bis tail |
out he made one eXtra !Cnge OF speed, ana
if the sudden jerk hadn't Turned the umbrella |
inside out it would have turned him "inside !
out But, with fresh mette in his heels, . |
he made lightning time toward tie wharf |
boat. Terril saw him coming, and shouting
to every enc on the Wharf-boat, g Here he |
comes, d n his fool soul; head him, some
body" But he came and it took pint /
of chloroform to pat that jlck in a fix 10 cut
the umbrella off Of his tail Now, when he
sees a man with an umbrella coming toward |
him, he SITS down on his headquarters like
dog, and hides his tail from view.
