A TEN-POUND SALMON
Lazy Mans Servant Also Swims Half

LoveIrs Pond has trained his big New
foundland dog to swim back and forth
across the pond, a half mile, carrying
missives 70 and from q young woman 20
whom he has been paying a great deal
Of attention The dog enjoyed the swim
and seemed pleased that he was serving
his master
So the man bethought him OF another
scheme TO make use nf the dog. There
are many salmon in the pond and when
the dog was sent across with a note the
other day he had tied TO his collar
well-baited trolling line.
The dog delivered the note. but when
he reached the other SIDE the hook was
bare. The young woman quickly caught
the suggestion and started the dog back
with the hook rebaited. When his mas
ter walked down 10 the sho-e the dog
was barking loudly and running about
evidently well pleased with a ten-pOund
salmon which he had hauled on shore.
The dog has been sent fishing several
times since. but without success.
