which recently formed the unambitious and
shiftless habit Of losfins at the new passen-
ger station in that city Finally one of the
painters decided to improve the animate ap-
pearance and proceeded to daub him rather
literally with blood-red paint. The frescoed
dog, upon his release. s,rolled up the street
until he encountered another canine, who
took exceptions to such gaudy appearance,
and the result was a fight. An officer saw
the bright red and considering that one OF
the combatants was being horribly lacerated
made grab at the CORY animal. He at once
lost all interest in the contest and withdrew
to remove paint stains. The dog, at last ac-
counts, was doing nicely.
