PERPLEXING THE DEPUTY.

Hurd Work to Summon a Ctoorglu Woman to Court. Summons serving is nevor a pleasant task, and it Is often a dangerous one. In Georgia there is a generally antagonistic spirit on the part of the citizens toward the court officers. Ono of these unfortunates named Frank Hall recently went to the town of Effle to servo a Summons on Sirs. Clark. When he reached her house he told her he would toll her his business If sho would not got mad. After taking her vowy he pulled out the summons and gave It to her. She would not take it, and he threw It down on the table. She picked It up the fire tongs, and smutted him trying to put it back In his pocket. He started home; she followed, threatening to shoot him If be did

not stop and take the summons. He outran her to the mill, got on his horse, and left.

A Sagacious Dog. There Is a prominent business man In Washington, says the Post, who is somewhat of a dog fancier, and takes pride in a pair of English setters that have held a prominent place In several bench shows In the country. Some months ago one of them developed an incipient case of ophthalmia and was taken to an oculist for treatment just as naturally as would have been any other member of tire family. The treatment, which consisted of drops to be put in the patient’s eye, proved quite successful and relieved the trouble for a time, but after awhile it came on again, and a second expedition was planned to the doctor’s. Film Flam seemed to know where he was going, for on entering the square where the oculist had his office he raced ahead of his master and got up the steps where he had been but once before, and on the door being opened bolted straight for the treatment room, instead of waiting his turn downstairs, as two legged patients learn to do, to their sorrow and impatience. This time the treatment was a zinc solution that was very severe and brought the water in streams from the patient’s eyes, but he took it with his nose in the air, never wincing, and the only sign of feeling he made was to hold out one paw pathetically for his master’s hand.
