John smith. Esq.-My Dear Smith: I know
that. a warm friendship has always existed
between Us. but ] cannot conceive how any
man in his right mind can allow such a
villainous whelp as that Of yours to -emain
around his house. and I must insist that
you pay me the full value OF my fine bird
dog, which Is now lying at tho point Of
death as a result Of an encounter with your
cur the last time he followed me to your
house. He came homo three days after I
lost him. and If he ever does recover he is
ruined forevermore. i don't want TO quar-
rel with you, Smith. but this IL a serious
matter. and. while no money can replace
my fine old Rrutus. j feel that II will be
only justice for you to pay me $50, which
Is the price / paid for the dog two years
ago. CHARLES kANISE
