up with pride that he proceeded to
sink his teeth into a gigantic dog of
Teutonic appearance living next door

had so distinguished himself, helped
to ease his wounds. Mickey" has
been here since the Weatherwax put

ing condition.
Mickey" is the pet Of all the sailors
at the Seamen's Home. but particular
ly OF the Weatherwax's cook. Davies
