Scheuer had for his dinner every

made his small wages 20 far enough
to support a family and furnish him.

in answer to an inquiry, he said -
That is not mutton; that is dogs

Tt e did not try it, although they
could hardly persuade themselves
that he spoke the truth. Scheuer
smiled at heir scruples. He even
asked some of his fellow laborers to
visit him, and when they did SO he
pointed to the kennels, in which
were several dogs tattening for the
knife.
Complaint of Scheuer'S doings was
made to Newark's Health Inspector,
WHO found that all that had been all
legged against Scheuer was true, but
there was no law forbidding the use
of dogs meat for food. Scheuer told

Where do you get your dogs?
