Dog Worth While.

“I noticed when you passed our house last evening.” said the fat plumber, “that you had q hound dog with you.” “Yes,” the thin carpenter returned, “and believe me, that is some hound.” “Where were you taking him?’’ “Out in the woods to give him a little training.” “Is he .learning anything.” “I should say so. After I had'been working him out for an hour or so he took down the road after a piece of newspaper that the wind was blowing.” ~ ' “That was a fool trick, wasn’t it?” “I thought so until I learned my mistake.” “Mistake.” _ “Yeh. When I finally caught up with the dog I learned that I had greatly misjudged him.” “In what way?” “He had been doing his duty as he saxv it.’’ -- ....... “Doing his. duty?” -L/ “Yes. When I picked up the piece of paper he had been chasing the first thing my eyes fell on was a half-page advertisement of a butcher shop with rabbits for sale.” —Youngstown Telegram. -
