1t is too utterly bad to get your
deepest feelings all wrought up. be
filled with indignation and sorry and
pour out your very soul over the
death of dog, have it published in
the paper and then have the very
dog you have written about come MP
and bark in your face before the irK
describing his death agony is quite
dry. That is what happened to me.
wrote a regular Winifred Black sob
story about the death of Buster Cal
laway and in a day or so afterward
Buster came to my house and stole
a marrow bone from my own dog in
my own back yard and he was per-
fectly well, without a scratch to be
seen. He was shot and bled and al
most died but not quite and | was
told that he was stone dead and be-
lieved it,
A BIT OF DOGGEREL.
Of course thought the dog was dead
was told he died in the old coal
shed,
Splitting his blood all over the snow
And mussing it up for a mile or so:
To be sure | thought the dog was
dead.
And wrote it up as you have read,
And then | saw the peslly hound.
The livliest dog above the ground;
That dog, I'm sure. will not behave
Till dog fennel blooms above his
grave.
