MODERN TALE OF IVA DOCS

Ordinarily and generally there is
all this wide, wide world than Oakes
street IN the city of Wa-Keensy, Kan
sas,- and its people are very proud of
the fact, and yet, to the great embar-
rassment of its law-abiding denizens,
and in spite of their most Jealous Wig
lance, untoward incidents viii happen
there occasionally to violate the quie-
tude and serenity of the community
One of these disgraceful affairs was
pulled off not many days ago
near the Warnoak corner by
piebald bull pup who is domiciled
on the aforesaid pacific thorofare, but
who is endowed with more pepful
pride than discretion. That is to say
the bull pup started the trouble
though he was not the only partici-
pant, there being two or three acces-
sories, and the way it all happended
was about like this: Two pedestrians
were on their way down town to be-
gin their days labor. One of them
was eating big apple which had cost
him fifteen cents per pound, the un-
eaten part of that apple being worth
at least ten cents at that very mo
n1ent. Just then stray canine of the
yellow dog strain came rotting di-
agonally across the street. But alas!
he was discovered by Mr.. P. B. Pupp
whose righteous indignation was
| aroused beyond control by the shame
| less audacity of the mongrel inter
| loper- Fired with holy zeal for the
credit of the neighborhood, Mr.. Bull
Pup gave chase at an angle of 80
| degrees, thus forming an acute-very
| accute triangle with the afore-men-
| toned pedestrians at the apex. The
| cornbatent CANNES came to grips be-
tween the legs of the man who was
| eating the apple. The apple came
| down-wrong side up The man also
came down, but it is not necessary
to particularize as to which side hit
the frosty cement walk. Suffice it is
to say that he came down more or
| less on the corn of the other man and
pandemonium reigned TO the great
dogs craw1ed out from under and
signed an armistice. The two men
unscramb1ed themselves, got up and
ambled down town-one of them Ia
n1enting the loss of so much apple
the other mentally cussing the league
O. nations at every limp. And sc
endeth the tale of two dogs. Or per
of one dog, because Mr.. p. B. Pupr
lost most of his tail in his innocent
infancy But why is a dog, anyway
