Jacob Saltzman, 10 years old,
of 1349 West Twelfth street, is
now eligible for membership in
the society of prize boobs.
Jacob is a special delivery boy,
and last night he was special de-
livering way out on Elston ave
nue..
Suddenly, in front of him, he
saw what he took for a small
black dog. Why Jacob should
have taken it for a dog is one of
life's little mysteries.

preaching the animal. Mice dog
gle! Come to Jakep'
Nice doggie" did not come to
Jake. It started off rapidly in
the exact opposite direction, and
had Jacob been a wise youth he
would have said a few words of
thanks, and gone on special de-
liverying.
But Jacob is not wise youth,
and SO he pursued mice doggie. y
Twice during the pursuit, mice
doggie" elevated his hindwafd
portion, and went through sew
eral complicated motions.
Little rocked Jacob, however
Jacob was bound and determined
to capture that mice doggie, and
he did capture it.
Having captured it, he strained
it lovingly to his breast, and sim

When Jacob tried to get on
car for home, he was met by an
indignant conductor.
Get away from here" said the
conductor. "You can't get on this
car. Go find lake somewhere
and drown yourself"
But Eve got to get home"
said Jacob, plaintively.
"Well, you amt gonna get
home on my car" said the con
ductor, "and that settles it. I've
got a wife and family, and I've
got to think of them"
Jacob turned away sadly, and
when the next car came along, he
used strategy. He slipped on the
car while the conductor was fix
ing the switch.
Wnen the conductor got back
on the car, he bore down on
Jacob at full speed.
"Whaddya mean by this ?" he
demanded. Got offa my car"
Won't, ? said Jacob, 1--WE got

"Whaddya got against your

"Nothin'," said Jacob, IAN it
