It Was iii Boston.

“Mad dog!” Mad dog!” yelled u small boy. !No cry can collect a erbwd quicker. In a moment an excited throng were gazing from a safe distance at, a poor, miserable little pup, howling and struggling on a doorstep. “Kill him! Shoot him! Don’t let him bite you!” shouted half a dozen at once. Just as the excitement was at its height, a typical Boston girl walked deliberately through the crowd and approached the dog. She raised her eyeglass and surveyed him calmly. Then she spoke: “I judge from the attiturle of the animal and from the anguish of his cries that the door is closed upon his tail. Open the door immediately.” She was obeyed. The dog trotted away Avith a tail decidedly the worse for wear. The crowd dispersed, and another mad dog scare had been nipped in the hud.—Shooting and Fishing.
