Onerous.

dogs barkcd with glee when it was
announced that John NJ. Schmitt, the
dog warden Monday, had resigned.
One days experience was enough for
Schmitt. The duties of the office We're
too onerous and he said he would rather
stick to shaving.
According to the rules, Schmitt was
required 10 note detailed description
of each dog he caught and perhap
a photograph, and, after holding the
dog for ransom. he was to deliver it at
police headquarters. after which he was
to put ii in q steel tank and turn on the
gas. Another rule required him to
keep tab on vagrant eats and still an
other clause contained the startling
information that he WAS to corral other
domestic animals the size Of dog, al
though Il standard dog is not named
in the ordinance.
For all this Schmitt was to receive
the princely sum of SO a month. out
of " hich he was to pay two assistants
Schmitt was not to engage in any other

that Mr.. barley has a violent antipathy

that the pair enjoyed most pleasant

deserved all of the enjoyment which
might have come his way. 1t seems
that he started. Friday morning, load
ed down rather uncomfortably with a
supply of provisions. His wife, who
had gone to the cottage before him,
had agreed to meet him in Oakland and
To accompany him in a team to the
pond, sharing his burdens. This was
surely nothing less that the doctor
Should have expected considering the
fact that he had such a wife, who had
promised as much and. moreover, con-
sidering the intolcrable highness Of
temperature and "stickineas' of the
atmosphere and the fact that he car
ried on his back nearly a hundred
weight of supplies. To make n long
story short. he started on the journey
IfoOt il the hope of meeting his other
half OIL the road. As the heat was very
intense and the load exceedingly heavy
for a man OF the dental profession to
carry. he travelled a little over half
of the distance and, becoming discour-
aged. turned around and walked back
into Oakland. His wife arrived 4 few
minutes later and the long journey was
completed.
