It Worked.

There was an object Of curiosity on the
market the other morning which quickly col
lected crowd. 1t was farmers dog Of
medium size, and he had on a collar studded
with enormous tacks, leather bands around
his body ornamented the same way, and
fastened to his forelegs just above the feet
were the same gaffs as are used on fighting
cocks.
''You see," explained the farmer, ''every
time Belshazzar comes to town with me he is
tackled and chawed up by some Of your
smart Alexis I've got tired of it, and I've
fitted him out to defend himself. As I've
brought him all the way in a wagon, and as
I'd kinder like to know how the old thing
will work. some Of you may bring up your
best stock"
"a man went across the street and got a
Newfoundland about as big as a yearling
calf and he had no sooner caught sight of
the country chicken under the wagon than
he went for him There was a roar, howl
and yelp. and then the big dog broke for
the woods with the little dog close behind
One mouthful of tacks was plenty for the big
'un, and his yelps of pain and terror could be-
heard three blocks
"Come, BeIshazzar, git back under the
wagon" said the farmer. "We've struck it
