A NEW DOG STORY.
A Rabid Newfoundland Dog-A Pet Sheep
and Hounds.

SEDALIA,. No, May 2-About month ago
Mr.. Mack Huffman, a well to-do farmer, re-
siding six miles east Of this city, was aroused
from his slumbers one night by a commotion
among his geese. On going to the door he
discovered large Newfoundland dog killing
them. Returning TO the house he got his
shotgun and loaded it with backshot, and
on going out again found the dog had attack
ed a pet sheep en-, the premises, and had been
in turn attacked by pack of hounds belong
ing to Mr.. Huffman. After a severe fgkt,
the hounds succeeded in driving of the in
truding dog. which Mr.. Huffman shot and
killed. Nothing more was thought Of the
matter until few days ago, when valuable
heifer belonging to Mr.. Huffman Was attack
ed with hydrophobia, and since then two
hogs, hound and calf have been similarly
attacked and were killed, and il is hard
to tell what amount of damage was
done by this rabid canine. The sheep, which
was badly torn by the dogs teeth. has spps-
IeDtly recovered. The chief point of anx-
iety to Mr.. Huffman, is from the fact that
this sheep possesses trsits and history both
singular and interesting. Its mother having
died when it was born it was taken to the
house and raised by hand. In the yard was
deg kennel for pack of hounds which Mr..
Huffman keeps for deer driving and fox
hunting. The lamb at once took up its quar-
tiers in the kennel, and. as the hounds did
not object, il was allowed to remain, and
soon became much attached to them, while
they were jealous to defend it from sny dam
ger. As 1t grew stronger II would follow
them In the chase, and for the past two years
has been their constant companion in the
hunt, leaping fences like deer and slwsys
keeping up with the foremost hounds. So
strong has become the affection of the dogs
for their queer companion that they will not
follow a trail without it, or permit any
stronger animal to modest it. Mr.. Huffman
prizes it highly, but fears it will fall victim
to hydrophohis.

ual attempts to get in, the Jap retreated in
bad order. he first thought of invoking the
aid OF the law and having his wife arrested
for treating him harshly. He chuckled over
the idea and was well on his way to the sta.
tion when he met fellow Jap. the famous
double sword swsllower, and told him how
he had been locked out by q hard hearted
wife The sword swallower remembered the
rom the wrestler had after the honeymoon,
and how Matsada had won her back by his
charm OF fixing his eyes upon her. He ad-
vised him to pass the intervening hours be-
tween then and evening stimulating himself
with beer, and go quietly home aud ask for a
parley; that perhaps she would stick her
head out of the door and all her old love
would return. Matsada took the advice, aud
it worked like magic. His wife looked out
of the door at him, and he fixed his wonder
fol almond-shaped eyes upon her. In ten
minutes the past was forgotten aud husband
and wife sat down TO hastily prepared
meal.
