A DOG ON A DRUNK.
The Sad Story of an Incorporate Canine of
Camden.


Yesterday afternoon Courier reporter was
walking up Kaighn avenue, and when Just above
Third street. started on a RIM 70 I'll. . ,,..;
-. as ~ dld SO small frowsy-looiling cur
jumped out from the door of Mitchells liquor
saloon at 307 Kaighn avenue, and with unsteady
leaps and short, husky bark, came swapping
and biting at his heels. The scribe was com
PEELED to stop and beat off his small but annoy
ing assailant who merely retreated a short dis
lance and sat down, swaying his body to and
fro, while he looked up in comeal sort of a
way
There was nothing peculiar in the dogs ap-
pearance except his eyes, which were red and
had sort of reckless look Looking around,
the reporter saw an acquaintance standing near
by, and approaching him, said: "Helo! what's
the matter with that dog-got fit!'
mo; he's drunk was the unexpected answer
Drunk Why, what do you meant De you
mean to say he has been drinking lquorp asked
the reporter.
Yes, sir that dog is an habitual drunkard, y
said the man. Hes got so he likes liquor and
would rather be drunk than sober"
The dog seemed to know that he was be-
ing referred to, for he got up with an effort,
came over toward the speaker sneezed once or
twice, wiped oneeye with paw, and sat down
rather unsteadily.
Yes" continued the friend, 'he's a queer one.
He belongs to Mitchell, and goes behind the bar
where there is a trough into which is thrown
the liquor left in the glasses on the BAR and
drinks the mixture with evident relish, until
sometimes he gets so drunk he can hardly stand
up. He is only about half full to-day. When
the animal is under the influence of liquor he
acts the queerest you ever saw. He is sure to
bark and bite at ever one passing on a trot or
run, but will not modest pedestrian who walks.
1t makes him qurrelsome, too and he don't
hesitate to tackle the biggest dog that comes
along, and if he gets whipped he don't seem to
mind it in the least"
How long since he contracted the habit?'
asked the now thoroughly-intereste newsman,
Well it's been over year since he started,
and the habit seems to be growing on him"
The canine, who seemed to be an amused lis
tener to this conversation, got up and staggered
toward the swinging doors of the saloon and,
pushing them open with his nose, passed in.
There he goes now for another drink" said
the acquaintance.
''Well, that's too bad; I guess Ill have to re
port this case to Uncle Rodolphus Bingham and
have some of the temperance enthusiasts try and
reform him. said the reporter as he turned to
go.
"It would be good idea, perhaps, for he's
certainly very bad example to his kind, was
the laughing rejoinder.
