The New London Conn., Day says: "NIrs.
Gavitt, proprietor of the Bacon House in this
city, is also proprietor of a large black and
tan terrier, perfect throughout its organism
with the exception of the forelegs, which
nature, in one OF her peculiar freaks. failed to
provide. This canine phenomenon walks and
runs in an erect position, and should rat or
bellgerent cat appear upon the scene r annie
will bound upon him like a kangaroo and
settle his hash in short order. Indeed, the
movements Of the curious dog resemble those
OF the marsupial animals much more than
they do those OF its own species"

will not permit her to pay S. day for board
and lodgings; therefore she makes an elabo-
rate toilet on cheap premises and then goes to
dear ones to exhibit 1t. The hotel Keepers
know her very well, and have rule under

IN the French quarter OF New Orleans is an
old house with enormous dOrmer windows
iutting out of the roof. Once it was covered
with bright yellow plaster, bits OF which re-
main away up among the caves. Back in the
last century it held the earthly belongings OF

when he stayed on shore over night, and
through a door leading into a dark, covered
yond ne drove any slave that he desired to

watering place is the woman with Sunday
