Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     The hound is one of the fastest running dogs, and not impeded by a heavy body possesses great endurance. An evidence of this was shown the other day by a hound belonging to Mr. J. A. Ford, of Battle Creek, Mich. Its owner was stopping at a village six miles from the above place, and getting on the cars with the intention of returning home did not notice the absence of the dog. He soon saw the hound, however, following the train, which at the time was running at the rate of eighteen miles an hour. The animal reached home a few minutes after the train, having accomplished the six miles in thirty minutes.
