"Dinny" McCrary, of my town, has
raised the price of digging post-l,oles

He says it is run on the same princi.

the track is clear and the load doesn't

that railroad that runs all right must

HAPPENED IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Henry Got Rid Of the Dogs In Short
Order.

Mr.. Nelson, who was much annoyed
by stray dogs burying bones in his
garden at Linden Hills, secured
lion while he was in Europe, paying
$2S7.50 for rather weather-beaten
king Of beasts, but one that was guar
anteed in every respect. The lion be-
came great pet on the way over and
came to know his masters voice and
obey it. Its name was Henry.
Arrived at Linden Hills, Mr.. Nelson
let Henry out into the back yard and
simply waited.
At 1880 on the first morning a New
foundland dog as large as a small
garage walked into the yard to step
on the flower beds as usual and to tip
over the garbage can. The lion saw
the dog enter the yard and the dog
Just barely saw the lion.
"Crunch!"
That was all. 1t was the sound
made by Henry eating the dog. At
$40 monster bulldog smelled his
way into the garden to rip up yard
of soil among the petunias.
"Ki-yi!"
STuuCu.
The bulldog had gone hence. By
1880 Henry's score stood:
One Newfoundland, one bulldog,
four fox terriers, an Irish setter and
two plain dogs. Everything that came
into the yard collided with the lion,
and 10, 1t was not.
Mr.. Nelson was so joyous over the
experiment that he could not go to
work that day, but just sat around
and felt good. In six weeks the dogs
were either all in or were avoiding
the place by going two blocks the
other way. Then the circus came
around, and the lion was so fat and
glossy that Mr.. Nelson disposed OF
him to the menagerie department for
