 About ten years ago he was present. ed with Jack, then mcre puppy by the captain of one of the Liverpool traders. The idea struck MT. Price of training the dog as his assistant From the time the dog was a year old up to the present day he has helped deliver the Chronicle to it's subscribers, and many have said that he was far better than a boy, as he always left the paper on the mat in front of the door, and never ran off leaving the paper halfway down the stairs.
 A history of the dogs actions, as told by MT. Price, is as follows: Every at about four o'clock Jack is at my back door awaiting me, and by the time l have had my coffee he has finished his breakfast and we are both
