FIRE STATION HAS
 NEW PROBLEM IN
 PARILLA'' BAbE

How to induce "Sasaparilla' to grow fat on milk without killing him is the problem confronting Bob Price, Of the Central fire station
 "Sasaparilla" is a small collie dog whose age cannot yet be marked by summers. or even moons, for he is only two weeks old. He was acquired the other day by Fireman Price, who be- lieves he can raise the dog as he should be raised, along the paths of righteous ness. 'Sasparilla' is not against the adoption and declares that he is willing to be raised along any old path if ne can get six square meals 8 day and a place to sleep where the rain won | reach him. The only drawback to the present pleasant arrangement lies in Bob Price himself.
 Fireman Price was one of those three minute eggs who had their names in the papers so much a few months ago ] in connection with a fight between the ! Americans and the Germans in France, ! it seeming that neither the Germans Or | tilS AilieIACdHS tupuS Tt that ITdnCe was big enough to hold the two ot them. On his return to America, Fire man Price was still feeling kind O Tiled and is not yet back to his former state ] of normality. Consequently he still un- consciously acts a bit rough at times when he is feeding Sassy from a mysterious bottle, with nipple at ! tached. which is kept in his back pock ct when not in use, and that isn't very much of the time. Fireman Price, you
 see, is more used to feeding bayonets tc
 Germans than milk to a pet.
 "Sasparilla" is at present domiciled
 on a spacious and specially constructed cot in the fire station. It is reported that Fireman Price will move the pur to the quietness of the country on ac-
 count of the fact that the recent fire quent fire calls have disturbed Sassy
 in his slumbers.
