Did you ever see Isaac Brons-
sard's dog? A cross between an
Ananias setter and Egyptian Mon
grel7 Fine dog, thai, -Thoroughly
| trained, and one of the most inteiii-
gent animals that ever occupied
high position in dogdom. Having
knowledge of its capacity, and full
faith in it's honesty; Ike thought he
would utilize the services of his
dog, and train him to run errands
for the family. With basket and
dime his dogship was sent every
morning to the ice depot to pur-
chase and pay for the days allow
ance of frozen water. Things
went swimmingly for few days,
exactly according to programme.
At the end of the month however,
Ike was much surprised by visit
from Mr.. Icicle, demanding settle
ment for ice furnished the three
weeks previous, this in spite of the
fact that the regulation dime had
tbeeh sent daily for settlement.
Something was clearly wrong: All
of likes latent detective ability was
aroused. Ike could not allow it to
go abroad that the high sheriff of
Lafayette Parish had been outwit-
ted. The culprit. be he man or
beast, must be run to earth. Next
morning the carfully trained canine
was given his basket and dime as
usual, and commanded to go forth
and invest that amount in ice. He
went and his proud master followed.
What was poor Ike's surprise; to
find that the dog went straight to
Otto's, purchased a choice piece of
meat, paid cash for it., put it where
it would do him the most good, and
! then proceeded 1eisurely to the ice
house; where he bought dimes
worth Of ice on credit. The mys-
terry was solved. Two tears cours-
ing down the manly cheeks of poor

that lis very life's hope had been
shattered.
