A Depraved Dog.
Newspapers from time to time contain
articles OF some peculiar habit or taste of
animals, and in that line this village has
a curiosity in a small black and tan dog
belonging to Samuel Pendergrass, the
shoemaker. Some years ago this dog,
which is said to be nearly old enough to
vote, acquired the pernicious habit of
chewing tobacco, probably from associat-
ing with bad company addicted to such
habits, and now he greedily devours all
the tobacco that is given him. Mr.. Pen
dergrass was sick with the grip last
winter and gave up using tobacco, but
not SO with his four footed friend. The
| dog probably thought he was too old to
reform, and continued to daily munich his
quid. All efforts to break him OF the
habit, gradually or otherwise, have failed,
and il he does not get the weed when he
wants IT he makes life miserable for his
master. Although Mr.. Pendergrass has
not begun his old habit he has to buy
plug often for the black and tan. The
dog never acquired the habit of smoking
| although he often looked as though he
would like to try.
