BY A SAVAGE DOG
Miss Mary WiIlis's Hand Was Severe
IY Bitten.

0ittSts
Miss Mary Willis was severely oIr.
ten yesterday by savage bulldog,
sustaining injuries that may prove ser
ious. She had entered the bird store
on East Eighth street, where the dog
was chained and began to pat the an
imals head. Suddenly the brute seiz-
ed her right hand and closed his jaws,
his fangs meeting in the flesh. One
of the girls fingers was also badly
lacerated. 1t required the efforts OF
two men to loosen his hold.
1t is said that several men have
been bitten by the dog, one of the
victims being city fireman, who got
too close to the animal Thursday and
in consequence is wearing plasters
and bandages on his hand.

the story. For nearly three years she
has pursued her study of the subjects.
Five other writers of McClure's: staff

A friend of James Witcome Riley
tells of an occasion when the humorest,
who is, as rule, extremely averse to
social functions, was induced to attend
a "Iiterary" dinner in Indianapolis
given in honor of a novelist of that
city.
Riley had been toled off to take in to
dinner the sister of his host, an excel
lent woman, though anything but "lit-
erary."
The conversation touching upon the
beauties Of Chaucer, about whom GER
tain set of the city was then cultivat-
ing a fad, spirited discussion ensued,
during which the bewildered sister
caught from time TO time only the name
"Chaucer.

General Results.

Twas the night. after Xmas
And all were in bed,
They were all improving,
The doctor had said
Little Johnny's lost finger
Had not as yet been found,
But they had captured the toy cannon
The cause of the wound.
Charles right eye
Had been placed back in its socket,
But no one has been found
Who could trace the sky rocket.
And there's poor little Davy
Who wanted some fun,
So he shot o hole in his foot
With his little toy gun.
Aunt Sallie burnt her finger
In baking cake;
She swore up and down
That Xmas is fake,
She twisted her mouth
Auu 61ulubou H0I oyoj
She jumped up and down
And tried hard to cry.
The doctor-he came
And an ointment applied
And then, Aunt Sallie
Seemed quite satisfied.
Last, but not least,
Comes poor old dad;
He will get typsy-but,
He's not at all bad.
When Xmas rolls round,
He must have his Tom and Jerry.
And he drink, and he drinks,
Till he becomes quite merry,
But when it dies out
And reaction takes place,
It's worth round dollar
just to watch poor dads face.
Then ma makes him undress
And puts him to bed;
Bathes him in cold water
And ties cloth round his head;
Soon after that
He is snoring away,
And his 'fun" is all over
Till next Xmas day.
Ma says she's glad
When Xmas is past;
She don't have any peace,
As long as it lasts.
Toy cannons, guns and fire crackers
She considers a curse;
But stills she feels thankful,
For it might have been worse.
So let us hope that the boys
Will soon be we'll,
And Aunt Sallle's finger, too;
That dad will awake
Feeling clear as a bell,
And ma will be- over her stew"
