DISPOSED OF FAMILY APET"
but There Came Time When
Patience Failed.

Did you ever have dog IN the
family?" asked Bildo. 1--WE did re-
Gently. How that dog got into the
family. / don't know. Each member of
the hcuhehold went around saying I
am sorry they got that dog by the
time we had had him a week.
There was never any way of tell
Ing who was responsible for his pres
ence with us. No one claimed the
credit OF it
I'VE disposed OF him. because he
took a piece out or a mans trousers.
It was a peddler's trousers. 1t Is a
bad thing to let dog bite peddler.
The peddler stormed up to my door
a day or so after the event and in
formed me that he had been In the hos
pital week, and that I must pay his
hospital expenses; also his doctors
bill; also for the time he had lost from
his vocation: also for the pants which
my dog had ruined.
when / asked to see his receipts
from the hospital and doctor he offered
to compromise on my paying S. for
the damage done his trousers. Of
fered to pay the five, but insisted on
immediate delivery of the garment.
"He was unable to deliver the goods,

narrow escape, and I decided that l
had better either acquire a lawyer or
get rid of the dog.
while I was bordering g. man went
by all dressed up In q beetle-tailed
coat, with while gloves on like pail
bearer ready to dance the tango, and
the dog fell for him. The apples in the
Garden Of Eden didn't look near as
good to Adam as that man did to my
dog, and he got chunk out OF the
black legs Of that man.
"The tango dancer had fiery dis
position, and what he proposed was
not to sue, but to lick the owner OF the
dog Immediately. This made me very
uncomfortable, indeed. / hid In the
cellar until the storm blew over.
1--WE got a muzzle for the dog after
that, and then he scratched up the
neighbours geraniums. We consoled
ourselves that he was a good watch
dog, anyway, but one night burglar
got into the house and stepped on him,
and that scared the creature so badly
that we had to let him sleep in the
bed with US after that.
1--WE tried keeping him in the shed,
but he dug out in the night and after
announcing his presence by licking US
on the face, he crawled in with US.
Heas and muddy feet, and all.

vblrteensh-century Fire Prevention.

One wonders what fate would have
overtaf;en the captured starter Of fires
In thirteenth-century London. For az
ter the blaze OF 1912. which lasted ten
days, swallowed up part of London
bridge. and was the cause of over 1000
deaths, every precaution was taken
against fires For instance. all build
ers OF houses were ordered TO roof
them with tiles, shingie boards, or
lead, and 10 stop an outbreak any
house could be pulled down. Thus,
Mr. H. B. Wheatley on the safeguards:
For the speedy removal of burning
houses each ward was to provide a
strong iron hook with a wooden han
die. two chains, and two strong cords,
which were to be left with the bedel
of the ward, who was also provided
with good horn loudly sounding
And, moreover, every householder was
ordered to keep a barrel OF water be
fore his door.--Iondon Chronicle
