A young man who recently finished

snlart-dog stories often fall on the
ears like accounts of the weight of the
fisherman's 'eatch." but I have the
word of one of our very best citizens
that this is just the way it happened:
Little Chase Jolley. the grandson of Mr..
and Mrs. P c. Chamberlain, was given
a beautiful Angora rabbit, which pres
emily presented its new owner with
nine baby rabbits. The delighted pos
SCISSOR of the bunny family carefully
nut them away in the woodshed every
night and locked them in by turning
the wooden button which was attached
TO the shed by a ten-penny nail Then
one night an imitation of the Ellsworth
tragedy occurred in that woodshed.
Some bOdy's hunting dog scented the
tender flesh of young hare and fol-
lowed the trail to the she'd The clasp
on the door interfered with the pres
ent qualification of keen appetite. but
the odor of the meat on the other side
of the barrier strengthened the deter
mination of the hunter and, failing in .
all other methods, he chewed the wood
away from the nail on the button and
drew it out The door swung open
and nine infant rabbits were found
headless. The Indignation of the owner /
of the pets was equaled only by the /
pride of the owner of the dog.
