Last night Dobson ran across a little friendless pup, and not wishing to see the animal left out in the cold, took him home. Mrs Dobson hates dogs, but after an argument of an hour or so consented to allow this one to sleep in the house. The animal acted with proper decorum until about one o'clock in the morning, when it began to slam around the house and bark vociferously. Mrs D. hinted that old D. had better get up and "put the dog out." He got up stumbled over the baby, and upset some stands and things before he struck a light. He was just twenty minutes catching the dog t \nd upsetting more furniture than he supposed he ever owned. There was a nar row a^er between Dobson's house and the' .iext, and, opening a window on the lower floor, the distracted man hove the dog into the alley and slid back into bed, "as cold as a tombstone," as his wife said* In about #»« mjnutes the yelps of the dog and the »»»!» of a oat in the alley reminded th c Dobson household that the gate at the emtranoe of the alley was closed, and *be dog was still confined within the legitimate environs of the household.
