MIRABEAU l. TOWNS dog variety. Mr..
Towns. who was member of the recent
constitutional convention of New York
state. tells remarkable tale about how
he came to cultivate his 5000, 600 muse.
About ten years ago an old man named
Michael Broone a lineal descendant Of
the famous Brian Boru, who drove the
Danes from Ireland, called at his Office
and promised him case if he would
agree to sum it up in rhyme.
To humor the old man Mr.. Towns
complied with his request and summed
mp the case as follows:
In July last, about the time
That hungry mortals like TO dine,
The plaintiff, being a married woman.
Went forth TO see her husband Rowan
The frugal meal. yet smoking warm.
She had in bucket on her arm.
For IT'S the plaintiff chief delight
To Quench her husbands appetite.
Vow, the defendent Charles Bedell.
Keeps near the parlr-oh, sad to tell
A low resort Of vice and sin,
Where he dispenses rum and gin
Yet not content with deadly cups,
He keeps two wild, ferocious pups
To slay those who escape his lair
With deadly hydrophobia air.
When plaintiff came into the park.
This Charles Bedel, just for lark
AS he says IN his own defense.
By way Of excuse or pretense.
Seeing she was but a woman.
Set his puppies on Mrs Rowan,
And he saw her race with fright.
Trying 10 save herself by flight
He shouted. Bill before she goes
just play upon her with the hose. .
Cursed assaulted. al hut drowned.
Bleeding from the puppies wound.
The plaintiff. gentlemen of the jury.
At last escaped this blaciguard's fury
And comes in court to see If you
viii do as you q have others do.
The jury gave mis- client a verdict OF
1915, which pleased him and the old
man much that he utilized the muse
IN numerous other cases BroOne brought
him. just before Broone died he wrote
the lawyer q letter Of thanks. You
have devoted your muse to my whims
and fancies,' he said, land your Peg
asus has been at my disposal as a
hobby horse. = He then willed the law
yer property said TO be worth about
5000. 600.
