Rags is the Jail dog. For something
like five or six years he has made his
home in the bastile of Hamilton coun-
~, says the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune. Just how he happened to
come there is not known, but it is sure
that he was not arrested for disorder
ly conduct, or even the stealing of a
bone, for dog, you know, can not be
arrested. It is punished in other ways
But however he came there matters
not. He is in the jail and very we'll
contented to remain. He is wonder
fully we'll behaved and favorite with
prisoners and officials as we'll.
He is wire-haired terrier, Scotch
or Irish evidently, and looks quite as
well as dogs that cost SIS or $40, even
when they are pups. But Rags puts
on no airs, and boasts no pedigree. If
he could speak he would say that he
was simply a dog, and dog that
knows and minds his own business.
AS to some of his tricks. If visitors
go to the gail and are shown through
by one OF the keepers, Rags takes a
hand in the exhibition tour Close at
the heels of the party he goes, never
leaving the visitors for a minute. There
is no barking, no running. He marches
along as dignified as an English but

On the second floor the black and the

one OF the colored men is in the apart

back, Rags" the little fellow makes
for the intruder and without a bark or
any evidence Of excitement drives the
man back to his department. OF course
II the prisoner resisted Rags could do
nothing. But uniformly they encour-
age Rags and go back in haste. Then
he trots back to the keeper, with his
little short tail wagging, to show how
well he discharged the duty placed
upon him. When the visitors stop for
q minute or two Rags curls up and
waits for the procession to move. He
enjoys visitors and takes pains to show
on before them, just rs some children
try to show off IN the presence Of
