Show JUST A LITTLEi TOO HAST1 Chances Are Colonel Newton Will In vestlgate Hereafter Before He Makes a Complaint. "Have you noticed that dead dog ii Harris' back yard?" inquired Colonel Newton at the breakfast table. "No, I haven't; I didn't know thej had a dog," his wife returned. "No more did I, but there's a dead dog lying in their back yard, and it's been there for a day or two. If il isn't disposed of by tomorrow I shall notify the health department." As the dog was still there, stretched stiff and stark, upon his return al night, the colonel telephoned the health department to come in the morning and remove the body of a j dead dog in his neighbor's back yard, which was becoming offensive. The men came early, before the colonel col-onel ii.d left home, to attend to the natter. He saw them pick up the an! n.al, drop it suddenly and turn away. The colonel, mystified, hurried out to see about it. "Why didn't you take that dog away?" he sputtered. The officer eyed' him coldly. "Aw, come off," he said, in a tone of disgust, dis-gust, "that's a stone, dog; piece ol bricky-brac; put out there for the ash man." |
