WIngle, ns he I.s known nbout the courthouse, likes to hunt. He nlso likes rabbits ns a food. As rabbits were selling for 3.5 cents apiece he decided to ro got some with the aid of a dog nnd gun nnd thereby have the fun of hunting ns well as fhe pleasure of eating nnd at the same time reduce the cost of living.
So he borrowed a dog from one of his friends nnd hiked for the country. The result of his marksmanship for the day wns two rabbit.-?, but Wingie wns happy when he returned home with 70 cents' worth of game, so he put the dog in the basement for safe keeping, and weat to bed perfectly contented.
In the morning, when he went to get the dog his joy turned to gloom. The dog was there all right, but a per¬ fectly good ham, which wns stored In the basement, was gone. That Is, most of it wns gone, nnd whnt was left was unlit for use as food, because what the dog had not eaten he had chewed or drnnged over the floor.
"Thnt ham stood me three dollars," Snid Laltner, when telling nbout the Incident, "and I Imd half a notion to .shoot the dog, not so much because I iiiDurned tho loss of the hnm, but the scoundrel Is a traitor, a.s it nil hap- jiened on 'iiK'ntless' Tuesday."—Indl- imnpoll.s News.
