BULL DEFRIENDs A DOG.
WALLPAcK, n j., May 1O.-A close friendship
longing on the Martin Smith farm in this town
and big yellow dog that BY right belongs to q
persists in preventing the farmer from enjoy
ing. The dog is an old dog, and his usefulness
with patience and force churning nachino.
Three weeks ago his owner found the dog be-
yo1d the limits usually prescribed for him.

hnppened to be in a Held on Farmer Smiths
for the time enjoying some little freedom. The
bull was lazily cropping grass only few yards
from where the assault on the dog took place.
At first. the dogs yelps merely caused him to
raise his head and cast DISTINGUISHED glance
at the proceedings; but as the blows feil
sharper and sharper on the ill-starred canine.
and the dogs cries OF pain increased in volume,
the hul! began to view the affair in a different
light. His sympathies for the dog were aroused,
and he walked toward the scene of the punish:
mont believing in threatening manner, and
shaking his head at the owner of the dog In
depreciation OF his conduct.
Inc farmer continued to benbor his dog, but
the bull started toward him in such a decided
manner that he backed away. at first slowly.

he TUNED and few ut the top OF his speed for
the fence which he reached and climbed in
time to save himself from being helped over.
The dog had been SO badly beaten that he
lay on the ground and continued bowling The
ing and suspic ious shifts at the dog began to
lick the poor an mails wounded parts. The dog
at first crouched close to the ground. as II UNI

kindly. and smhmitted to them with evident
satisfaction. When the bull had licked the dog
for few minutes he walked away. The dog
followed him closely. and the two have been
lnseparRhle companions ever since. Every
time the owner OF the dog has come around to
such a decidedly bell icose sentiment toward
him that he has wisely g ven up the attempt.
The dog will not leave the bull at any ones
,all. and no one has cared as yet to separate
he two by force: Smith is willing to buy the
log that his bull has so strangely adopted, but
he dogs owner does not want to sell. and the
tuation IS tritle odd. The strange part OF
he matter Is thatthe bull heretofore hated the
light OF dog, and would not let one come
anywhere near him.
