A HUMAN MoNTRoslTY.,

Death of ths Dog Boy, Who Was Canine
In All But Form.
1t was q pathetic funeral that of
Alfred FL. George, in Oakland, recent
ly, says the San Francisco correspond
emit of the Globe Democrat The
little house was surrounded by curl
Gus crowd of small children from the
neighborhood. who had come to get a
glimpse OF the strange being who had
died. Three hacks stood outside OF
the door and few friends gathered
in the little front parlor. but it was
more from curiosity than from any
other cause for there were few who
lived in the neighborho0 ID who had not
heard Of Alfred H. George, the dog
boy. The lad, though apparently not
human, was given a Catholic burial
His father, a bronzed Portuguese,
stood by and watched the ceremony
with scarcely change of countenance.
His mother. little woman who still
showed signs of beauty. was dressed
in deep mourning and her tears and
eyes showed that she felt the death of
the unfortunate child but the broth ers
and sisters Of the unfortunate being
in the cof1n stood unmoved, as they
hardly regarded the body as that of
thFir brother.
The boy was known all over the
neighborhood as the dog boy, but few
had ever seen him. as for eighteen
years of his life he had not been out
OF the house but once. He was born
deaf, dumb and blind, and was utterly
without mind. He resembled more
than anything else large dog or
baboon. He could walk upright but
never did so. proferring to crawl around
the room. Whenever he was dressed
he tore the garments from his back.
The only way his father could keep
him clothed was to make long gar
ment of the Mother Hubbard shape of
the heaviest kind of bed ticking that
could not be torn. The unfortunate
being could make no articulate sound
except whine or snarl. He would
sleep all day and remain awake all
night. He would never rest in bed.
but would crawl upon large chest in
the corner OF the room, and there he
would lie all day. The features of the
! child resembled those of a monkey.
The forehead was low and retreating.
the eyes deeply sunken, caused by
screwing his fists into them, and the
jaw was large and protruding. Once,
and only once was he taken outside
the house, and that was when the
place caught fire and he was carried
out for safety. Taen he cried and
| whined until he was taken back The
father Is hard working cobbler and
has eight children, all of whom are
bright and active save this one.
