OLD BLUE.

In the summer of 1867 J. c. NayloI
arrived In Cherokee county and
took up a claim on Tar creek seven
miles west Of Baxter Springs. He
had wife. a yoke of steers. a plug
horse and quite an assortment OF
rhiun. He built small house on
'le creek and started in az farmer
.'ri stock dealer. AZ he was away
from home most of the time hiS
vile asked him to get dog of some
-drl for projection and company.
At this time Baxter Springs was
on big boom and hundreds OF
migrants were daily passing
through the city on their way TO the
golden West. Every mover had on
an average three cur dogs and as
many of them sirayed away and
we're left behind. the city was over
flowing with stray dogs. Naylor
selected an old long legged, NANCY
blue. cur dog, tied him behind his
wagon aud drove through town on
his way home. Other dogs seeing
old Blue behind the wagon fell in
line and when he reached the sub.
urbs of the city he had some fifteen
or twenty dogs OF all kinds and con.
ditions. from the trained blood
hounds of an Uncle Tom show TO
the pet poodle and iascivious lap
dog.
Nayior was proud of his menag-
erie, hut when he arrived home aud
Mrs. Naylor came out Mortified at
the sight. and with uplifted hands
asked him what he was going 10 do
with lithat lot OF scalawag fogs.
he saw he had overdone the thing.
But Naylor is a genius in his way
and he told his wife To get him a
tomato can and he would abate
some of those dogs.
He filled the can with pebbles.
fastened il securely on old Blues
tail and turned him loose. Mrs.
Naylor by the way had just finished
putting supper on the table and
every piece Of china ware was dis
PLAYED IA well as ~ lot of tin ware
and utensils. The table was q crude
affair. constructed BY Nnylor him
self aud was quite wobbIy with its
load of provisions and crockery.
Old Blue. IA: soon IA he found
himself detached. made several
circles around the house. followed
by the entire pack with Naylor en-
couraging him with an occasional
war whoop. AZ the other dogs
closed in on him he sought refuge
in The cabin an.l after few inside
circles ran under the table. over
turned IL demolishing all the china
and supper and then with few
parting yelps like n cnyo'e broke
for Blue Mound with the velocity
of a cannon bail. The other dogs
followed close behind and az the
entire pack pnssed from view and
the faint tinklr Of the tomato can
could be hearl. no more. Navlor
turned to his wife and exclaimed in
tones not loud. hat deep: well!
I'll be damned
