4 summer seldom passes tllat the cry
of Mad dog :" is not heard in some di-
rcction or another; and many and strin-
gent are the police regulations put III

hvrophobiu. More than one unhappy
dog, innocent Of anything except fright
or thirst, panic mt being hunted, or hay
ing lost lis way or master, has fallen II
victim to mistaken zeNl. One day dur
ing last summer peddlcr woman walk
ing along the road observed a dog be-
longing 10 the nciRhborhood trotting
calmly before her She knew who was
his owner aud also that the animal was
not far from home. 4 grassy bank was
beside the footpath, and in this bank
was wasp's nest. The dog in passing
it must have disturbed the insects,
which few ont upon him, clustering
round his head, and singing him about
the ears, eyes and nostrils. The poor
animal, frightened and in pain, sprang
forward, rushing on with wild contor-
tons OF agony. A policeman coming mp
ut the moment saw him fly past, his
tongue hanging out his eyes protrndcd
"Mul dog he cried, and the poor beast
was shot dead before the screaming
woman, running br"a'hlrssIy 10 the les
cue, could explain what she had seen.
ANA sore pity. 1t was, she SAID
AS honest and faithful and oS hand
some dog as ever stepped before ITS
own tail. Not so mad, indeed, rs the
man that was in such u hurry to shoot
HIM.
