A Cheese.Eating Dog.

There is dog living on the West
Side, says the Buffalo Courier, that
has recently developed the strangest
appetite that ever excited canine pal
ate. The other day q dozen cream
cheeses were bought, and when they
came they were set on shelf in the
laundry, the weather being 80 cold that
it was not necessary to put them in the
refrigerator. A few hours later, when
il came time to place the cheeses on
the table, they were nowhere to be
found. The dog had dont-ask-me-any
questions expression on his face, and IL
was believed he had stolen them. Still,
as they were wrapped in tin foil, it did
not seem as though the dog could have
relished them, and, besides, the cook
vowed that she had not seen the dog
near them, and that if he had attempted
to steal them he would have attracted
attention. The disappearance Of the
cheeses remained mystery for quite
two weeks, when the mistress of the
house was one afternoon attracted to
the yard by the barking of the dog, and
on going to the door she saw the dog
pull out from under pile of rubbish
one of the missed cheeses. He then
carefully unrolled the foil with his
paws, and devoured the contents with
undisguised gusto. The remarkable
part of it was that the dog had had
sufficient sagacity to store the cheeses
and partake of one of them each day,
instead of disposing of the entire num-
Der at one sitting, as most dogs and
probably all children would do. His
love for cheese is accounted tor by the
fact that his grandparents ior one OF
them) were English bulldogs.
