(which furnished no end of amusement
While it lasted. one of the passengers
who took the car at the Grove station
WAS an, Augusta gentleman who fol-
lows the law for 4 profession :tnd who
is also The owner of little brown
spaniel The mans family is at the
seashore just at present and the dog is
his masters constant companion while
the house is closed. The little fellow
was with his master yesterday morn
ing on the car and behaved himself
very nicely until the car reached Man
chester Forks. At that point however
the dog got his eye on another dog by
the roadside and without waiting for
the car to stop jumped off to see him.
The man. jumped after the dog and
then there was something doing. The
dog is young dog and in the eXuber-
ance of youth he recognized a chance
for some fun and he had it, leading his
master a merry chase over the green
sward and through the front yards of
that vicinity. But though the dog was
nimblc his master was by no means
slow, ana although he is far above the
lightweight class the training which
he got in the old days when he was
member of the Bowdoin College ball
team in the Glass of 'SS, and one of
the best runners on the team. stood
him in good stead. and he finally ran
his pet down and captured him. The
chase was greatly enjoyed by the peo-
pie on the car and the owner of the
dog received no end of congratulations
On his exhibition of fast foot work.

have got me in" says Pa, as we went
TO our room.
What in thunder did l have to do
about it," says l; just like that. Il
wasn't with you when you framed up
this job and let man in Washington
skin you out of your money by giving
you a soft snap snap which has ex-
ploded in your hands. Gee, Pa, what
you need is a maid or a valet, or
something that will hold on to your
wad." Pa said he didn't need any
body to act as a guardian to him,
cause he had all the money he need
ed in his letter of credit to the Ameri-
can Express Company in Paris, and he
knew how to spend his money freely,
but he did hate to be buncoed and
made the laughing stock of two con-
tiGents.
So Pa and l went down to the Ex-
press Office, and Pa gave the man in
charge a paper and the grand hailing
sign of distress, and he handed out
bags of gold and bales of bills, and Pa
hid a lot in his leather belt and put
some in his pockets, and said: Come,
on, Henry, and we will see this town,
and buy it if we like it."
Well, we went out after dark and
took in the concert halls and things,
and Pa drank wine and l drank moth
ing but ginger ale, and women who
waited on us patted his old bald head
and tried to feel his pockets, but Pa
held on to their wrists and told them
to keep away, and l thought Pa was
real saucy.
A head waiter whispered to me and
wanted to know what allied the OLD
sport, and l told him Pa was bitten
by wolf in our circus last year, and
we feared he was going to have by
drophobia, and always when these
| spells come on the only thing to dc
was to throw him into tank of water
| and I should be obliged to them if they
would take Pa and duck him in the
fountain in the center of the cafe
| and save his life.
Pa was making up with the girl hE
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1908-12-05

had padded with the silver tray, buy,
ing champagne for her and drinking
some of it himself out of her slipper,
when the head waiter called half a
dozen Frenchmen who were doing po-
lice duty, and told them to duck Pa
in the fountain, and they grabbed him
by the collar and the pants and made
him walk turkey towards the foun-
tain, and he held on to the girl, and
the Frenchmen threw Pa and the girl
into the brink with flock of ducks,
and they went under water, and Pa
came up first yelling murder, and then
the girl came up hanging to Pas neck,
and she gave a French yell of agony,
and Pa gave the grand hailing sign of
distress, and yelled to know if there
was not an American present that
would protect an American citizen
from the hands of Paris mob. The
crowd gathered around the circular
fountain basin and one drunken fellow
jumped in the water and was going
to hold Pas head under water while
the girl found his money, when Pa
yelled "Hey, Rube," the way they do
in circus when there is fight, and
by ginger it wasn't a second before
half dozen old circus men that used
belong to the circus when Pa was
manager in the states made rush for
the fountain, knocked the Frenchmen
galley west, and pulled Pa out of the
water and let him drain off, and they
said: Hello, old man, how did you
happen to let them drown your" and
Pa saw who the boys were and he
Rugged them, and invited them to all

PREPARES TO
INVADE AFRICA

Pa has had the hardest tine of his
life in Paris, and if l ever pitied a
man it was Pa.
You see, that last fly in the airship
pretty near caused him to cash in his
chips, and go over the long road to
the hereafter, cause he got blood
poison from the thorns that run into
him where he landed in the top limbs
OF the thornapple tree, and he
sprained his arm and one hind leg
while being taken down with a der
rick, and then before we left the
country town for Paris he drank some
goats milk, which gave him ptomaine
poison in his inside works, and a peas
ant woman who sewed up his pants
where they were torn on the tree
pricked him with a needle, and he
swelled up SO he was unable to sit in
a car seat, and his face was scratched
by the thorns of the tree and there
were blotches all over him, so when
we got to Paris the health officers
thought he had smallpox and sent him
W ~ PSSS ACNOS, gnu IASy
let him in, but vaccinated me and
turned me loose, and l went to the
hotel and told about where Pa was,
and all about it, and they put our
baggage in a sort of oven filed with
sulphur and disinfected it, and stole
some of it, and they made me sleep
in dog kennel, and for weeks l had
to keep out of sight, until Pa was
discharged from the hospital, and the
friends of Pa out at the airship club
in the country got Pas airship that
he bought for a government out of
the tree and took it to the club and
presented a bill for 5000, and I only
had 81, SO they held it for ransom.
Gee, but l worried about Pa!
Well, one day Pa showed up at the
hotel looking like he had been in a
railroad wreck, and he was so thin his
clothes had to be pinned up with
| safety pins, and he had spent all his
money, and was bursted.
The man who hired Pa in Washing

ton to go abroad and buy airships for
the government told Pa to use his
own money for month or two and
then draw on the secretary of the
treasury for all he needed, so before
Pa went to the hospital he drew on
his government for $4,000, and when
he came back there was a letter for
him from the American consul in
Paris telling him to call at the office,
so Pa went there and they arrested
him on the charge of skull digging
They said he had no right to draw
for any money on the government
at Washington. Pa showed his pa
pers with the big seal on, and the
consul laughed in Pas face, and Pa
was hot under the collar and wanted
to fight, but they showed him that
the papers he had were no good, and
that he had been buncoed by some
fakir in Washington who got $500
from Pa for securing him a job as
government agent, and all his papers
authorized him to do was to travel
at his own expense, and to buy all the
airships he wanted to with his own
money, and Pa had fit. All the mon
ey he had spent was dead loss, and
all he had to show for it was pune
tured airship, which he was afraid to
ride in.
Pa swore at the government, at the
consul, and at the man who buncoed
him. and they released him from ar
rest. when he promised that he would
not pose any more as a government
agent, and we went back to the hotel.

said Pa killed in the tank by falling
on them. But Pa paid it and was SC
