and told us how TO open the drawer
and we told her to go away ard at
tend to her own business. and then
we set down on the floor and
placed Our feet against the wall on
each side Of the bureau and spit on
our hands and took hold of both of
the handles of the drawer and
pulled until both the handles come
out by the roots as YOU might say,
and we turned over a couple Of
times and cut our head severely on
the corner of the bed, leaving an
ugly combustion just above the left
eye.
After we had pulled the handles
.outen the drawer, it was impossible
Ito get the drawer open at all. BY
this time we wasn't in no spiritual
condishion to 90 TO church ANYHOW.
so we put on the old shirt we had
been wearing all week and re-
manned at home to kind OF cool off
and calm down and smooth out our
rutfled feathers as you might say.
Another thing about,Dog DAYS is
that they say dogs is more danger
Gus in Dog Days than any other
time, and that il you are bit by a
dog during the Dog Days YOU are
liable 70 contract hydrophobia. 1t
IS said that dogs is liable to go
mad during Dog Days and it is our
opinion that the Bingville Board Of
Health, whose sworn duty it is 10
protect the welfare of our citizens,
should sort Of keep its eve upon
dogs in Bingville going mad and
take any steps necessary to pro
tect us from same. There is too
dog goned many dog gone dogs in
Blngville anyhow and some Of
them amt worth kickin outen the
road. Most every family in Bing-
vile has dog. and some has two,
and as a result you can scarcely 90
out on the sidewalk without step
tping on dogs tail. What we need
IN Blngville is less dogs and more
children. According to our opinion
the number of dogs in Bingville is
constantly increasing, while the
number of births is constantly de-
creaslng. Jest becuz Bingville has
III the naberhood of so or 60 dogs
IS that anything to be proud Of?
Dogs amt populashion, and can't
be regarded as such. The editor of
the Hardscrabble Bapner, that pus-
Unanimous sheet without no princi-
lple or decency said in his last issue
that Bingville had quite a large
lpopulashion if you counted the dogs
too.
Beware of the dogs during Dog
Days.

For want Of something better to
write a editorial about for this
weeks ishue Of the Bugle. we here
by take our pen in hand and will
/ dash off a burning article on the
subject of Dog Days" You can
be sure that when we write edi
Itorial on a subject which is as in
significant and ridiculous as this
Ione, we are pretty hard put to it
for something to write about. Some
times a subject for a weekly edito-
rial will occur to us without much
thort or effort on our part as you
might say, and then again we have
to scratch and scramble for sub
/ ject and it is only after a awful
mental struggle that one occurs to
JUS, as i'll this instance.
! Dog Days is now approaching,
and will soon be in our midst.
These is something which comes
every year along in August and Is
mot looked forward to with much
expectation on the part of the gen.
eral publick. We have consulted
our almanack, which says that
The Dog Star is now in its as
lcendancv." whatever that means.
One of the first symptoms Of
Dog Days which will become ap-
parent is when the bureau drawers
begin to stick fast and the doors
begin to swell up and wont go shut,
and the window sashes gets to
working 50 tight in their grooves
that you can scarce get them either
Iup or down. 1t was the sticking of
bureau drawer in fact, which sug-
gested this subject for a editorial.

The other actor in this ALMOST awful
tragedy was that orncry red btAl which

from a calf until now the bull is three
years old and as mean critter as WIS

he got a board and some black paint
and painted a sign which he managed
to nail up to a tree in the field where
the bull was pastured, one day when
the bull was away over at the further

as follows:

Last Tuesday morning Hank thort he

so the lawn would look better. Up to
that time Hank hadn't moved the yard
at all this summer and as a result the
grass was almost two feet high in
Hanks front yard and his nabers talked
so much about how It looked compared
with the nice kept yards on all sides
that Hank finally made up his mind TO
cut it and be in style like other people.
Hank got out his old scythe and went
at the grass, but the scythe was so dull
that it wouldn't cut worth cent and
Hank said TO hisself, Il will jest 90

as he could
But, alas. when Hank was about IS

seat Of his pants with his horns and
tossed him lightly into the air. Hank
