FOUR BRAVE MEN.

Nothing Like knowing just What to
Do When a Big Dog Comes at You.
From the Mount Holly Dispatch.
l was standing on the railroad platform
Of a small country town a few evenings
ago. There were four men grouped apart
from where / was standing, conversing
among themselves. Just beside the edge of
the platform were the grounds of some pri-
vate residence, fenced in by an iron fence
only three feet high. Inside the fence, held
by heavy chain. was a dog of the deer
hound breed. He was impatien.ly chafng
against the restraint imposed upon him,
and pulled and tugged at his chain at a
great rate The four men were standing
looking at him. and making comments
Il don't know why it Is" said one. that
l never have the least sensation of fear at
dogs. Why. If that dog was to break loose
and jump that fence 1t might be dangerous,
but I'd be just cool as am now"
i've had several narrow escapes with fe-
rocious dogs" said another, land I've train
ing them in the eye steadily. Notice my
eyer The other three peered into IT. We'll,
gentlemen. that eye has cowed dogs that
would take a leg OFF you at bite"
The third man, who had been Cor some
time trying to interrupt No. in order to
get on his little tale, seized the opportunity
and struck in. Il simply kick EN-" he
said. I've had dogs come at me at light
ming speed, gentlemen; jaws wide open and
their eyes red with rage. All I've Jone has
been to calmly step aside and plant enc
tremendous kick in their ribs as they went
by. 1t took courage, but 1 was always
there. never had one come back at me
yet"
The fourth man was just opening his
mouth to tell his little lie. when the deer
hound over the fence got loose. and lrob-
ably not thinking of the four men at all,
bounded over the fence to make rood his
liberty. j watched to see the man with the
wonderful eye get in his work, AMI the
kicker do his great kicking act. and the
man with the iron nerve stand coolly with
arms folded. but none of them was doing
his specialties that day.
Instead the whole one-horse quartet turn
ed and jostled and bumped and trOd en-
each others toes in a wild endeavor to get
out of the way of that deerhound. The head
of the iron-nerved man bumped into tie
man with the mesmeric eye. and jammed
his hat down so that the luster of the eye
was dimmed, and 1 suppose that's why IT
didn't work. The man who always kicked
vicious dogs did get in his kick but it was
on my right shin accidentally, as he rushed
by me to save his life. But the deerhound
rushed over the fields without looking at
any of the heroes
