Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     One of the strangest incidents of yesterday was the celebration of the Fourth by a bull dog which early in the morning grabbed a fire cracker, lit, in his mouth and “went wild” as it exploded. After that there was no keeping him away from the crackers and as fast as some one fired a lighted fire cracker into the street the dog would go after it until finally he had to be “arrested” and kept until the owners could come and get him and close him up where he would be safe.
