Telephoned to His Dog.

Tom Reynolds of Reynolds Ville was in town this week. Tom has an intelligent dog which was sent to him from Australia, and of which he is very fond. The dog is also badly infatuated with Tom, who has a telephone in his house.* Tom has taught the dog to understand that the machine can talk "by hylding the receiver to the dog’s ear. On several occasions when Tom has been away he called up his residence and had the dog brought to the ’phone, when he would talk to the canine in such -soothing lauguage as to fill thecanine with delight. He would, of course, recognize his master’s voice and make all sorts of demonstrations of joy. About two weeks ago Tom brought the dog. to Punxsutawney, and while there talked over the ’phone to his friends at home. He also permitted the dog to listen. From this the dog got the idea that there were only two inexistence—one at his homo and* the other at the Hotel Waverly in Punxsutawney, as the circumstance about to be disclosed will abundantly prove. * Last Saturday Mr. Reynolds came to Punxsutawney and called up the dog at home as usual. The dog barked and whined and made a great ado, all of which could be heard over the wire. About an hour afterwards, just as Tom was about to leave, judge of his surprise to see his dog come bouncing into the hotel He had run fourteen miles in • less than an hour. Now Tom says that, as the dog is firmly of the impression that there is but one other telephone box in the countrybesides the one in his house, he will not dare to. talk to the dog from any other point, because if he does that dog will start immediately for the Waverly Hotel, Punxsutawney, expecting to find him there.
