THE DOG HAD ILL HEALTH.
Life Was Not Worth Living and He
Committed Suicide.

a dog belonging to James NuthaIl, the
engineer of No. engine company of
Louisville. deliberately committed suicide
recently, bystanders Say. The dog was
a fine setter and was highly priced by
his owner. The animal had been sick for
several days and acted queerly. A va
cent lot adjoins the engine house, and
about o'clock in the afternoon, as Off
Ger Collins was passing the lot. he no.
ticed the dog running at the fence with
great force. The dog would butt the
fence with his head a great deal after
the fashion of a goat. A crowd collected
and watched the queer antics of the dog
for some time. In short time the dogs
head was all bloody and bruised. Several
men started toward the animal TO take
him away from the fence. The dog ran
past the crowd and into the street. A
cart heavily loaded with brick was pass
ing at the time. The cart belonged to
Scott Newman. The dog started 10 run
under the cart, but the colored driver
dashed it with his whip. The dog re-
fused to move, though he was whipped
severely. and the horses knocked him
down and tramped on him and a wheel
of the cart ran over his head. He died
in about ten minutes.

Ten Years Hence.

THE bride looked very well in trav-
cling dress, but all eyes were conferred
on the groom. He wore a dark suit that
fitted perfectly his manly form, a large
bouquet decorated his coat lapel. and in
his daintily gloved hand he carried a
bouquet OF American beauties. His hair
was cut close, and delicate odor of bar
ber's oil floated down the aisle as he
passed. The young people miss him now
that he is married. He is loved by all
for his many accomplishments. his ten
der graces and his winning ways. The
bride commands good salary as
bookkeeper in st. Joe. and the groom
