A Diplomat Wasted.

A famous animal painter says that when he was a boy he once witnessed a fight between two dogs, one of which belonged to an Irishman who was a retired prizefighter. The Irishman’s dog was badly beaten, and the fact was a source of l deep chagrin to the owner. He was 1 very Jealous of his dog’s record, i but, as only he and the painter had, seen the fight, he asked the latter, *in a decidedly significant way, which) of the dogs won. “Why,” was the reply; *“your dog won, of course. He was underneath the other dog, bat he was chewing the life out of the cur all the time.”

"That’s roight,” said the Irishman. “You have saved your loife.”
