Last Saturday John Thompson had
an exciting time. John lives in an I'M
| prctentious mansion in the rear of
Langworthy's machine shop, beyond
the freight depot, where he has q par
Tor, sitting room, kitchen, dining room
and bedroom all in one room. His
family consists, or rather consisted, of
nine dogs, part of them pups, dozen
or two of doves, and proud gentle
man hen with a lot of wives, all of
whom, when not engaged i'm foraginp.
occupied with the old gentleman the
aforesaid parlor, sitting room, and so
forth. 10 some people this community
of life would seem a little Objectionable.
but Mr.. Thompson is not over fastidi
Gus, and can stand the sights and odors
heroically, more so than any person
who tries to enter his castle. Now
John likes TO take much of his sustc-
nance in liquld form, and a bottle is
his favoritc crockery. Consequently
he sometimes fails to remember the
natural wants of his pets, and those of
them which could not scratch for a liv-
ing would thercupon go hungry. For
several days previous to last SATURDAY.
the canine members of his family had
difficulty, figurativcly speaking, in
keeping the wolf from their door.
Their master was comparatively happv.
the bottle being full, but by the time
the supply thcrcfrom was cxhauscd, the
dogs began TO think of giving him a liz
tie hint as TO the empty condition OF
their stomachs. Accordingly last Sat
urday they playfully event for the
old man, in the parlor aforesaid, and
then and there, tho gentle doves and
domestic hens being witnesses, did
chew his person in sundry sensitive
spots, and put his clothes severely in
need of more patches, insomuch that he
began to fear that the famishcd brutcs
were about 10 make meal of him. He
crawled into the open air, with the
dogs swapping and jumping at him, and
lifted up his voice in howl for help.
Some of the "boys' happened TO be
around at the depot, and they with one
or two from the machine shop, on sec
ing Mr.. Thompson's dismal plight.

seven had departed TO the happy land
where dogs starve no more. The other
two dogs of the LOT had business else
where before their turn came to be per

doubtless sleeps safer now. The last
time we saw him since, he was follow
ed by an nncollarcd and unlicensed
canine.
