re KNEW The DOG.
How mississippi Man Won T Eenty
Dollars.


As the boat was loading cotton meal
at Natchez we saw big bloodhound
come down the street, walk aboard the
wharf b Jat and stretch in the sun for
nap. The talk at once turned upon
dogs, aud then upon this one in par
ticular.
THAT dog" said one of the passen-
gers, would ne doubt kill any man
whom he attacked"
This was followed by various yarns in
regard to the strength and ferOcity of
Dluodhounds, and then another pasSen-
ger put in:
IN give any man dozen good
cigars who will go out there and wake
that dog up and pat him on the head"
"A dozen cigars?' echoed another.
Why, man, l wouldn't so out there
and rouse him up for SO bill"
"Humph," sneered q man who sat
with his feet on the rail little ways off,
and who had come aboard as we
landed.
maybe you want to wake up that
dog?" hotly remarked the SO man.
81 think l could"
"GOu do, eh2"
"Pll bet you $50 dare ling him into
the river"
Ozone! Done quicker than creased
!ightningm shouted the other as he felt
or his cash, and in a minute or two the
money was up.
Now, then, you are to walk down
there, seize him by the collar and fling
MIN into the river!'
Exactly"
And he walked. Without betraying
| the least hesitation he went down the
pink, marched up to the dog, and TAX
~ him by the collar drew him to the
ii and dumped him of. The dog
