Show A DOG STORY WORTH TELLING. H. S. Lapham has owned a canary bird and a small cur dog about three years. The two pets have, in fact, known each other intimately all their lives, and they have been on uncommonly, cordial terms, considering the radical difference in their respective natures. On Wednesday last the bird escaped from its cage, and very soon afterward the dog disappeared. When Mr. Lapham opened his front door yesterday morning, there stood the dog with the truant canary in his mouth. Remarkable as it is, the bird was alive, and it now occupies its old quarters, not particularly "chipper," it is true, but still in passably good health. - Detroit Free Press. |
