Dog Swallows Baited Hook.

A small lad of this place started
off fishing one day recently with his
pet dog trudging beside him. When a
few feet from his home his parents
were aroused by shrieks, and upon in
vestigation found that the dog had
swallowed the bait, which was a piece
of doughnut, hook and all. 1t had
gone so far down his throat that there
seemed nothing to do but cut the line
and await results. The dog seems to
be in his usual health at this writ
ing, but the boy has no more desire
to go fishing.
