10 The Editor Of Iht Chicago 1rltu,n:
CHICAGO March 27.-Cnn dog be said 10 be
uniuchy-to DO n hnrblngar Of misfortune?
Various blrds and boasts hnva hitherto had such
evil reputation. bat not dogs Is far az kuow.
However, my unfortunate experience with an
ilf-omcned pup sooms to provo thas had luck is
hs closely associated with aucll a one u IT ever
was with haro Dsgpie, owl, or othor so-cRlIod
unlilcky cfeaturca.
Wetf, to tho facts: On ono Of those miserable
mornings 40 prevalent lately encountered On
my way to business tint dog. Ho lookal tor.
1orn aud uttorly miserable. could not he.p
feol!ug compassion for The vrssch. I thought
the boat thing l could do would be to tako II 10
and gtyc 1t food and shelter, and II its owner
turned up he could hnyo It, IL nn owner should
be forthcoming should adopt II ~ my own. /
aSHufo you MY mottYcB were altogether Of tho
boat.
Accordingly, spoke to It kindly, aud tYlne a
sitting asouui lis neck, tod It gontIy into ny
otlcc. secured tho Htfins to my desk and ooul-
nlonced work with tho tranquility and cnso Of
mind which the doing Of What ona foels " Rood
aot,an a1Taya produces. Tho ungratofnl '.b'scS:
aud.tan seemed. howeyor, Bootl TO got tircA Of
It's worm and comfortable condition, and tried
lard to get away. Unfortunately, tho string
round its neck was fastened With stip-knot ami
all Of sudden tho brute wss OH its hack in the
violent thEres and Bm0sherod actearns of atrah-
Rulatlon. Fulin.g Oh tho htrlns, tue knot tight
GAcd, canning pain. To eacnpo this tho creature
naturally pu1ioa harder to get awny. until tic
striug was smheddod IN tho skin Of the noa4.
With difficulty, An1 after homo time, managed
to cut IT, and for my tsoublo rot ono Of my tl,4-
gers scyosoly bitten. Tho dog was by ttis tiuao
In a frantic stato and oonllnned 1lowling and
barking. It wan out Of tho question tint IL
nix.tt At,r1 1Nfo Mat
Of mo1p bises. nor without trouble was 1t
finally oxpallod from tue roun.
Continuing its eas-splittlng noise It rushed
forthwith iuto another otiico. Thoro again it
made itHelf an Iutolcrabto nuisaNee. Hearing
lLas I Ind Lad something to do With tho aai-
NAL, tho occupant OF this oitico rushed to mo
begging nc to COMO and cn!l the wrctencd beast
away. Ny finger was anlarting and btoedng,
and declined with thanks. Ultimately, after
the greatest trouble, It waB driven out and
other accidentally Of by desiHn ran into tho oo-
vutor sllaft, down which 1t fol! with fa.ht ro-
aalta. rearng hsdrophobia, then called on a
surgeon md hlla my wound burned anl dresaod.
