Dog’s Wonderful Ride.

When the owner of a plain collie, name unknown, boarded a traßl at Simpson, 111., the faithful animal tried to follow, but was kicked oft the platform by the “news butcher.” Just as the train started the animal darted under it and everybody paused to hear his ki-yts as the wheels ground him to r pieces. But there was not a ki-yi. At the next stop, Ozark, the news agent and the conductor took a look at the trucks. The dog was lying across a brake-beam, alive, unscathed and apparently not at all worried. He W as chased from his position and the train pulled out, leaving the canine hobo ditched.
