Meals for 300 people were prepared at Portland, Me., recently, but no guests appeared. It appears that at the local railway statiou there is a little black dog who acts as messenger. It delivers telegrams and messages and the like to its master. The other morning It came rushing into tlie office of the owner, who conducts the restaurant, and on opening the enjt was found that the message was for meals for three hundred people. There was much hustle to get ready for the large number of people. hen the evening train came in no diners appeared. An investigation disclosed that the dog had opened the desk and front on,e of the pigeon holes extracted an old telegram.
