HOUND HIS DOG.

Mike O'Connor is pretty handy with his feet-a feat that he is proud of, too. He can dance more steps than man with the collie, and with as much artis- tic effect A step ladder is not in it with him. He can neither sing nor whistle, but that doesn't make any diff ference when the band plays and his feet feel like going astray. He came down town Monday with his valuable Swede setter and sled to deliver gro- ceries. It was showing with that reck- less abandon and utter disregard of consequences quite noticeable at times in these parts. Mike, upon arriving at his destination, cautioned the dog to await his return, gathered up his order and went inside to deliver the same. There was man whistling rag-time. Mike laid down his groceries, spat on his hands, cut a pigeon-wing, balanced on tip-toe and then made a brilliant piroutte across the room. The people applauded aud Mike looked tickled. He dashed off Highland fling, and then tackled the Irish Washerwoman. Old Dan Tucker entertained him for a few minutes, and then old Zip Coon got in his work and laid him out, To show his gratitude for not being mo- tested he forced each one present to ac- cept two-bitts and presented them with complimentary tickets to his next grand annual clearance sale and free distribution of prizes to indigent house
 keepers. Then he went out and called to the dog. The dog was out of sight. Mike looked surprised and let out an extra coil of rubber in trying to locate him. He swors it was the first time the dog had ever disobeyed his command ments, and he couldn't understand it. He proposed to find out about it, and started for home. He ploughed through the snow for few feet, and meeting an obstruction, he collided with 1t with sufficient force to throw himself on all fours. Up rose the dog from beneath him, scattering tue snow in all direc- lions and walking all over Mike in a delirium of joy at being rescued from a living grave. Thus Mike found the dog. But the dog found it out first,
