PETS A FAMILY AFFLICTION. (Prom The Dallaa Oak,) I mijiiote every family in which there kiM lee a xmall boy hatt, at some time r other, tx-en affictel by a neries of pets frosts tlwy are sometimes called by an irate jmrent. Kven b'fore the ixiy is able to Nit alone lie likes the stuffH wooly dogs from the toy shop. By the time lie has shed dresses unl is in his irst rot toil suits, he has lisv:irle.l these MfeleM toi.s aii'l st'Jjrrlies for s.imetliing whieh ran f.'lKnv his t 1-li i 11 foodsteps. How well I rtMiit'iiilrt't the first dog which was admitted into o.ir household! It Wai nil uvi'i trro li. vilpiiiK ilojf of no particular lireed, j.rrwiited ti) niv little live yeidd lir.itlier by an adorning uncle, who probably ienieml'ied his boy hood ilays. What a trial this dotf was to hs all! Mioi he only been pretty, or ven respectable looking, I tiling we eouM have endured him, but from a proinisiiif; (nokiiiK I'11!' he urew into an ungainly ling with a lung tail, whiih ha.l the nnboai able habit of slinking letweeii his He always hud the appearance of being in his own way. and he certainly was in every one rises'. He was abjectly de oted to my brother, who was very proud f Prince what an nonappropriate nam. for a dog of such uiiprinceh bearing as he tagged at his heels untiringly. How long he was with lis I do not re member, but one day he left and did not return. We never knew what became of him, nor were we guilty of much in quiring, but we little realized that oui troubles had only lieguu. for from that time forth our home was never long free from ets of some kind. Jack was at h'rst overcome with grief, hut in a few days he received a a i r of tame rabbits from a maiden aunt, who sympathized with his childish grief. These he declared were 'lots bct'er than aid i'rince anyhow.'' for the rabbits i' was necessary to erect a small pen in the back yard. Thev were always getting out and this meant destruction to father's f-uMUKia- They were the joy of Jack's small soul.l while he had them :inl a! the same time a relief to every oik rxrept father, who had always taken :i pride in his gardn. One night, however. they hopped from their pen and naming farther than the garden, did not return. This time Jack waa tired of anything as gentle as rabbits and. bov like, he wanted si incthing which would romp and play with him, therefore, we were not very much surprised when he came home ne day leading a dog -at least not mtr priand at Ins acquiring a new pet but mieh a et! Hinee then I have seen numerous dogs of various descriptions Mini of different breeds, but I have never eon one like that one. He was the slim nettt Jog imaginable to lie exact skinny is the only word that could proix-rlv des til him. I rather think that his ex treme length accentuated his lack of bodily circumference. His tail like Prince's, had the slinking habit also his IkmIv was borne up by tooth-pick legs attached to which were elephantine feet His long ears drooped about his mourn ful eyes. When he was first led into the dining room, mother gave a horrified shriek, but all remonstrance with Jack proved futile and she finally consented to grant him a pla.e in the old barn, which stood back of the house. Imme diately upon lieing banished there he settled down upon his thin legs and raising his huge head gave forth such a howl as 1 am sure hum in ears hail never heard !efore. Later di us-ion in the family circle liually d.-eiled that the howl was a cross between a fog horn and a fin- whistle. His howl made up: half of linn, while his appetite made up the other 1 ilf' That first mgnf old biscuits and ,-,,l nb'ead, the left ..Vers" ! several .lav, made ther a barn.
