Only Dog.

He was n bright looking little chap,
and he walked along Penn avenue lead
ing q hungry looking dog by string.
He seemed undecided where to go or
what to do with the cur.
Occasionally he would stop as if to
think for awhile, cast ratlSr depress-
ing glance at the animal, pat him little
and start off aimlessly again.
He finally observed woman of kindly
face, well dressed and who looked as if
she might take an interest in almost any
kind of dog. He stood and waited for
her, and when she came up his face
frightened, and he asked appealingly:
"NIissus, don't yer want ter buy a fine
dogt"
"Poor doggyr' and she stopped and
patted him.
How much do you want for him, lit
tie boyf"
"Only quarter, ma'am. He's a fine
dog, he is. Why, yer can teach him any
thing if yer know how. He's a good
watchdog, too, and he don't eat much"
The woman came to the conclusion
that the last statement was true, but she
still hesitated aboutmaking the purchase.
"What kind of a dog is itf" she asked
hesitatingly.
He's half bull. You just ought to see
him chase cats"
well, what's the other half"
The little fellow pondered for awhile
and seemed very much perplexed as he
sized the animal up and thought. Finally
his face lit up as he had solved the prob
lem, and he answered:
why, just dog"
He's still trying to sell the animal, and
any one who wants dog might get him
for much less than quarter Pittsburg

THE TIMES" A NEwspApER.

THE TIMEs is essentially and pre-
eminently q newspaper, as has been evil
denced upon very many occasions in it's
career, and more particularly by the
complete way in which it has given to
the public the detailed accounts of the
past few days dreadful occurrences.
The news OF the lynching of the negro
Smith, alth ough having occurred only
shortly before 5 a. m. Thursday, was
contained in the issue of that morning
and delivered to the subscribers at the
usual time.
Its columns have from the time of tho
unfortunate occurrence been given over
TO this matter that complete account
might be obtained by the people of this
city and those outside who would be
particularly anxious to learn every
epoch of the sad affair.
That this effort on the part of THE
TIMES is appreciated is shown by the
extraordinarily big demand for the
papers OF each subsequent issue, to sup
ply which necessitated the printing Of
over 10000 extra copies of Thursday
mornings edition and almost as many
extras yesterday and to day, nearly all
OF which are already sold.
