A Louisville railroad man has a dog
that distinguishes the days of the week
and different railroad trains. On days
when Aidgets owner makes his regular
trips the dog accompanies him to the
station, but never attempts to board the
train-just stays on the platform, an in
terested spectator, and wags his tail
cheerfully as the train moves out. On
other days and other trains-suburban
trains to Parkland or Pewee Valley
he hops aboard without hesitation, evi-
IDENTIFY aware that the ride in prospect is
one that he may share. Midget swears
too; swears like a pirate.
The family understand him, but they
report that his language is too terrible
to be repeated When things don't 90
to suit him, he retires under a bed or
sofa and lies there rolling off oaths of
fearful description for hours. A young
man who was attentive to Midget's
young mistress unintentionally offended
him, but the dog got even. He actually
broke off the match. He knew the rea1l-
lar nights on which the youth appeared.
and at an early hour would ensconce
himself under the parlor sofa, from
which coign Of vantage he would growl
forth such volleys Of personal and pro-
fame remarks that the prospective lover
became intimidated and ceased his at
tentions. In recognition Of these serv-
ices Midget's master gave him beauti-
full silver collar.--Louisville Courier

for pension, claiming to have served
his country in an Australian regiment.
He admitted having had his breast
branded with red iron, with the letter
ID" which marked him forever as a de-
serter, but claimed to have reioined his
regiment after his punishment and
served out the term Of enlistment. Tho
