DOG EATING DOG.
The Remarkable SeIf-Possession OF a Chi

The Remarkable Self-Possession OF a Chi
cago Newspaper Man.
A married woman attended a party at
the home of friend where they keep one
of those roguish little pets, pug sdog. She
related to Chicago Mail man the follow
ing story, in which Young man who is
connected with a morning paper in Chicago
and the pug dog were mixed up, and said
she did not know which one the joke was
on, and would leave it to me- The young
man was detained at the Office until it was
too late to go to his home for dinner and get
to the house where he was invited in season.
He therefore stopped into convenient
restaurant and bought some Frankfort
SauSageS, which he crammed into the
tail pockets of his Prince Albert coat, in
tending to eat them on the way. No
sooner had he left the restaurant than
he met gentleman who was on his
way to the same party and accompanied
HIM. This, of course, gave him no OBJ
portunity to eat his lunch, and he went
to the house with the sausages in his
pocket. There he was doomed to more dis
appointment, for the pug dog, in a wonder
fully short time, caught the scent and fol-
lowed him about whenever he moved, sniff
ing at his coat tails and giving an occa-
sional bark This attracted more or less
attention. Presently the young man, who,
by the way, is musical, was asked TO per
form on the piano. He declined, knowing
Of the danger he would be subjected to, but
without avail. When he sat on the piano
stool he could not do otherwise than let his
coat-tailS hang down behind. While he
played the DOG got in his work, and soon
had the sausages strung out on the floor
and was chewing vigorously at them. Amid
roar Of laughter the newspaper chap
played on coolly, and even repeated part
of the piece until the noise had somewhat
subsidized. Then he arose, turned around,
looked calmly at the dog grawing at and
swallowing the sausages, and said. "My
friends, this is case of dog eat dogn

The story, according to Scribner's Mag

Once went an alcalde Of Lagos 10 church.
And in his right hand he carried his staff
of Office, and as he entered the church ne
lifted off and held in his left hand his hat
Then he sought to put the holy water upon
his forehead; but this he could not DO. for
both his hands were full. Then in awhile a
bold resolve entered his heart and he
plunged his head into the font.
Before the plaza that is in the midst OF
the town of Lagos was set in order. as j.
now is, there was in the middle Of it deep
and wide hole. And this hole cost the
town council (Ayuntamiento) much con-
Germ, for they perceived that ii WAS dan
gerous place. into which the unwary might
fall in the dark and be killed or manned.
So a meeting of the council was called, and
it was decided that the hole should be filed
And, TO get earth to I'll II, hole was dug
beside il. And behold, when il was full,
there was new hole as deep and as WIDE
as that which was flied! Then in the same
way did they set about filing the new hole,
and again was the same result only now
the hole no longer was in the middle of the
Plaza, but over at the side of ii in the street
that goes out toward the north And again
they filled il, snd so continued. until at last
the hole was far out in the northern suburb
of the town. And there they suffered the

prohibitory laws exist it is fallacy to pre-
