DOG THAT CHEWS GUM.
1t Required Some Time and Patience
to Acquire the Habit.


Black Michael, or Mike, for short, is
the name of a little cocker spaniel living
in Lake avenue, near Forty-sixth street,
Chicago. He came all the way from Col
orado by express, nailed up in a wooden
box, with Stats across the top. On the
side of the box was painted in black
letters: please give me drink" so
that the baggageman would not forget
him.
Since he has lived in Chicago he has
acquired the peculiar habit of chewing
gum. 1t took him long time to learn
that gum is not to be treated rs food,
hut is to be chewed forever and never
swallowed. Before he learned the way
of it he was very funny in his efforts to
dispose of gum as he was accustomed
to dispose of everything that found its
way to his mouth.
The first time a piece was given to
him he chewcd quietly at it for minute
or two. When he found that it stayed
just the same size and would not sep
arate, he treated it as he would tough
piece of meat, put his head low down
and chewed with more energy. But
nothing happened, the queer stuff still
stuck together and refused to slide
