Two well-lknown business men who
enjoy a day in the woodland wilds with
dog and gun are grleving over their ex-
perlence one day this week. They plan
ned for rabbit hunt, and in order to
be properly fitted out purchased rab-
bit dog. which was dispatched them
by man in Ohio who was supposed to
know dogs. Now there are dogs and
there are dogs. A rabbit dog is one Of
these, but all are not Us he. The fes-
tive canine arrived on the scene and to
the INITIATED nimrods he lacked no es-
sential attributes. But then, they
didn't know.
So away they went to the region
about Triadelphia, the two men and
the dog. Sad to relate, they eventually
emerged into field of sheep, and it
was here where Brer Dog began to get
in his work Like nash he had hold
OF chunk OF animate wool, doubtless
intending to convey It into asbestos.
''For Gods sake, shoot him" said Andy
to his comrade. Hes no rabbit dog,
but calling the dog on resulted in fall

a Bero and his bullet for the dog went
wild. Another bullet sped forth. It
Killed the sheep.
Then the frightened canines flew
across the field to none knows where,
and an irate farmer doomed up In hos
tile array. His demands were COM
piled with. The Wheeling hunters paid
him S. for his dead mutton and return
ed to the city sadder but wiser men.
A thoughtful young merchant is dis
turbed over the rainy day skirt" now
waited into fashion and succeeding in
winning favor as a sensible garment
should. The merchant Is puzzled to de-
termine the ages OF the wearers. he
says, in their Market street prone
nades "They all look alike to me- he
explains. Sometimes my range OF vis-
ion detects the approach OF natty-
looking school maid, but, 10 and behold!
on her arrival she withers and fades
into a matronly old soul. It's kind OF
nice, though, to see how the old ladies
are taking to these rainy day skirts.
But they certainly show up the size OF
their feet"
There's a peculiar thing about our
business" remarked the liverymnn.

horse rigs and the next day it's all
double. In the summer months we take
many advance orders for rigs for Sun
day, and one Sunday everybody seems
to go for single rigs, and maybe, the
next, they'll want a team. It's the
most in-and-out business In the direc-
tory, is the livery business"
