Getting Kid of a Dog With Dynamite
Old Blobs got tired of having the dog
arcund, a useless beast, although affection
ate, and taking him out in a vacant lot, he
tied a half pound can of dynamite to his
tail and lit out for a safe place to see the
explosion. The devoted, loving animal
followed his master closely, and the faster
went the cur with the fuse hissing behind
him. Just about this time the thought
crossed Blob's mind that he ought to have
tied the dog; but he did not stop to consider
it. Just as he lost his wind and picked up
a stone to persuade the dog to leave, the
thing went off. It was a success. Portions
of the late Mr. Blobs are arriving daily
from the different counties and the f unctal
services will be held when the returns are
all in. The dog is dead.
