DoN'T WANT ANY MoRE.-A gentleman
of this city has fine hunting dog, but the
animal, having little to do lately, has
waxed fat, and is not in condition formuch
of q run. However, when he can find
plenty of water he manages to last toler-
ably well; but he has received frequent
chastisement and caused his master great
annoyance to say nothing of the profanity
boiling out of property owners, by Jump
ing into every water trough he comes
across while following buggy Last Sun
dav his owner went out after quail with his
sons, and tied the dog up to prevent his fol-
lowing but he managed to free himself and
overlook the vehicle before it got to the CITY
limits. OF course he had to go along, I'M
der the circumstances, being given a ride
now and again to rest. Returning home he
was hot, tired and used-up dog generally,
and 1t can be readily imagined that when
he saw what seemed to be water trough
on the route he made for it ioyouslv. 1t
wasn't exactly a trough-in fact, it was the
curb of well-that he saw, and his mas
ter whistled, and called and cursed in an
endeavor to stop him, but it was no use :;
he had been demonstrated with that way
before, but nice, cool bath was a luxury
that Just then was worth being whipped
over ten-acre lot for. Reaching the side
of the supposed trough, he leaped into it
without stopping his tail waggiSg merrilv
as he rose in the air but it dropped be-
tween his legs as if broken, second later.
and q most comical look of establishment
and terror spread over his countenanee. as
be went down, down into the six foot of
water al the bottom of the well. His mas
ter hurried to tie spot and found Mr..
Spot thrashing the water with his paws.
and gazing around with an expression that
showed plainly he was tryingto understand
where he was, and who could have knocked
the bottom out of that trough. A long
board was procured from a neighboring
fence and lowered into the well, to give
him chance to rest little, and one of the
boys ran to the house and procured a rope,
by means of which the canine was rescued,
a cooler and wiser dog. When they arrived
in town, wherever they passed a watering
trough he took the other side of the street.
Troughs are a great luxury, but he thinks
he can do without them!
