If the girls ouly knew in what ut
ter detes.atlon al! sensible people hold
the act of foniIInI puppies (two-
legged and four eGge,D there would
be much less sweetness worse than
wasted. Peck's Sun SO graphically
describes the feelings of young
man whose charmer had been guilty
Of hi, impropiery. that we copy
its article almost entire II cane,
says that truthful chron;c!er, into the
Palmer House bar-room, al CIica 20,
and asked for drink Of raw wh:skty,
with perfunerv III 1t. He hal a
Wild look i'll his eye, AMI the bar
tender set out the whiskty, and
asked him what kind Of relfumery
he wanted il II. He SAID Any
thing. Put in some bItters, little
kero>en-, squeeze an onion over 1t,
and rub the edge of the glass with
some asa.n iita. Dahl and he spit
out some IN lylnary bad tasting stuff.
The bartender put in several bad
tasting things, AMI gave the glass to
the poor young man, and he swal-
lowed it, and asked for llmberSer
cheese. The bartender gave him Il
piece of an old overshoe to chew,
and he seemec relieved, and after he
had become calm he tod the bar
tender what was the trouble. He
had been calling on his girl, and
she owned 4 poodle. All the even
ing she would kiss that dog on the
nose every few minutes, and when
he got ready to come away she threw
her arm around his neck and they
indulge III kiss that under or
binary circumstances would have
pulled the filling out OF his teeth,
but he said 1t tasted doggy and al
most made him sick. He tried t.
get away, but she chung to hun, aud
again put her lips 10 his, and he said
lie felt AS though he should de, and
he got away at er awhile and rushed
for the nearest saloon, where he
drowned his sorrow and dog hair in
the hJwIng bowl. He said every time
she kissed that dog he felt like the
girl that eat tomatoes the first time
The thoughts of her kissing that
dogs nose that had been in so MANY
places of disrepute, smelling of old
bones in alleys, and hunting dirty
things in out of way places was toe
much, and he wept and asked fol
another drink. Tue bartender tried
to brace him up by telling HIM tina,
he would feel better in the morning
and that he should not let sinai
dog come between him and his bliss
lie said he didn't want any more
bliss, and he should never feel al,
better in the morning.
Why" said he, as he drank the
liquor and gagged, shall never
be able to look a dog in the face
again without being sick. To think
of that beautiful girl kissing thai
dog. If she had seen the dog as
did that afternoon, with some other
dogs, she would faint. The dog.
were pulling at a cows tail tha
they had found in vacant lot, anc
fighting over it, and the tail Wa.
an old one that had fallen off ,
butchers wagon. o, see that m,
graves kept green, and put an irol
fence around it to keep dogs away
Give me another drink
The young man had drank enough
and tue bartender called porte
to show the young man to his cur
riage, and see hun home, aud he wen
out with his hand on his stomach
swearing eternal vengeance on al
dogs.
Young women who despise thu
man who puts the cup to his neigh
boris lips, to steal away his brain
should be careful about putting tn
unsavory dogs nose to their owl
lips They may catch the dog dis
temper, aud have TO drink gunpow
der end milk.
