day in the year is dog day, in Chelses
There are probably more dogs to til
square inch in Chelsea than in any othe
town in the State. A man who doesn'
own at least two, is simply nowhere. Til

invent some sort of a "cowcatcher" to at
| tach to the front wheel. There are, how
ever, certain advantages that we, per-
haps, do not fully appreciate; the. nights

'slay low" or "roost high,' and among the
steadily declining feline population, mu-
steal culture is sadly neglected.
