MAD DOG Oh MAD MAN.

The other day | went exploring In
the outskirts Of Eas. New York
Threading my way along the child.
Uttered sidewalk my eye caught the
always interesting antics of small
pup--perhaps three or four months
old-frisking among the youngsters
A fainthearted child afraid of the
puppy had approached and drew
back and set up cry. Abashed at
this unexpected and unusual recep-
ton the waggiug tail was drawn be-
tween his legs as the pup sided
against another kiddy looking no
doubt for fuller understanding, But
the fright OF the faint hearted child
was contagious-th alarm spread In
simultaneously, and at once there was
shrieking and scrambling or terri
fed youngsters. Down the street
came a Mortified mother to raise the
cry of mad dog" and In less time
than it takes you TO read this, that
erstwhile play full pup was tearingI
down the street, In fright chased by
men and boys hurting stones and
clubs past at its poor wondering lit
tie head. The pup rescued trembling
like y leaf and scared nearly into
fit--but the men and boys were APP
peased only after long ana patient ar
gument.
This was an actual experience and
is by no means an unusual illustra-
ton of what constantly happens. It's
the way that rs per cent of the mad
dog scares start Scarcely a day
passes without some newspaper ac-
count of mad dog that has been
chased TO its death Most Of the mad
dogs are merely thirsty or have been
chased until they are crazed with
fright and exhaustion We need a
little common sense In these ap-
preaching dog days, and we need
perhaps more--a little kindly
thought. II the hot days are trying to
