An Arkansas Dog Story.

NAPT. REES PITCHARD owns
y dog that he would not part with for
the world. The world is pretty large
offer, but he would not accept it for his
dog Bruno. When in Memphis not long
ago, Bruno got separated from his mas
ter in the crowded street, and when the
Captain went on board the steamboat
on his return to Little Rock, the dog
was nowhere to be seen. The owner of
Bruno was much affected by the failure
of his faithful follower to stay with him.
They had travelled many times from
Little Rock to Memphis and back, both
by steamboat and cars. The wheels of
the Marlin Speed turned the requisite
number of times, and Capt. Pitchard
found himself in Little Rock. He
mourned the loss of his dog almost al
much as If he had lost child, but that
evening, as he was in his room, there
came a scratching at the door, and when
it was opened Bruno walked in ,wagging
his tail with the most frantic and evil
dent efforts to wag it off. How he got
home was nine days wonder. Capt.
Pitchard saw conductor of the Mem
phis and Little Rock railroad a day or
two after, who said: "Did your dog
come home Y' Yes; what do you
know about it ?" "He rode over from
Memphis with me, that's ALL" "Who
put him on the train Z want to thank
him." " He got in himself, went into
passenger car, sat down, and, when
ever the train would stop at any station,
would shrink back under the seats.--
He did not try to get off at any station
until Little Rock was reached. When
the brakeman opened the door and shout
ed Little Rock, out popped Bruno
and made straight for home"

~ Hathaway, emphatically, g forty
gallons of cider won't keep while we're
drinking it. There must be something

article"

Leffingwell. "If we don't take care of

Mr.. Anderson, lying down a chicken

wood. "There is no doubt that the ci-
der will spoil unless you put in some
thing, but what you want is borax. A
pound of borax will keep that barrel of
cider until spring"
Each gentleman sustained his view
with potent arguments, but the dinner
was finished before any conclusion was
arrived at, and the party separated.
"They can talk about their borax,
horseradish and raisins, till they're
gray" said Mr.. Hathaway, as he flop

morning, shut I'll have my mustard
