The yachts held this tack for about six
minutes when the Shamrock. taking the

tack. Barr waited nearly two minutes be-
fore following suit and the wind was so
light thar both yachts were not more

What Happened Whom Patience Had

Ceased to be Virtue.
There is an unusually quiet citizen
up near the crown Of Piety hill who is
just now thinking a great deal of him
self. One Of his neighbors has three
pet dogs When separated they are
well behaved and considerate to
strangers, but when together they
seem to regard it as an imperative
duty to try to eat any agent or other
strange caller at the house. After they
had bitten three little children belong
ing to the quiet citizen, torn his wife's
best gown. and snapped at him while
he crossed the lot, he decided that duty
as husband and father called for ac-
ton on his part. One evening h"
reached the house with bulldog, bred
in the purple. and much to be admired
because he was SO excruciatingly ugly.
In few days he followed his master
wherever he went. Thus assured, the
man made a call on his neighbor with
the three pets. The French bull want
"a to play. and cut great antics in
trying to entice the trio into the game.
They Just snarled, showed their teeth
and darted at him when the opening
seemed favorable. Finally he was bit
ten on the end OF his stub tail by the
Scotch terrier, and he made a rush
that his master checked in time. Let
him CO. urged the host. He's not
dangerous, and the dogs can take care
of themselves. I'll be responsible
The quiet man demurred until the pets
were charging right into his lap after
their prey, when he let 80 as il to
protect himself. The imported cyclone
had the air full Of dogs for about three
minutes. There was a continuous
crash OF bric-a -brac. all the light fur
niture was dancing. the host was kick
ing about wildly and the quiet man
was making an admirable bluff at try
ing to restrain his property. When
the entertainment was over the sitting
room looked like a junk shop. The
neighbors had some little argument
about whether the bull pup should be
killed on the spot, and when the quiet
man left he went out backward, eau
tioning his neighbor in a low tone of
voice not to do anything rash. The
nefghbor has given away two Of his
pets, and advertised for one Of these
fighting white bulldogs with pink eyes.
