A story of a lishy nature comes
from Oregon. It is about a man
and a dog. There is nothing
remarkable about the mau, ex-
cept his powers of narration,
but the dog possesses varied ac-
complishments. Among other
things, he dives into the river
and catches large salmon in his
mouth. Recently he was by the
side of his master, who was fish-
ing through * hole in the ice,
when he discovered a choice
salmon, and dived down ult« s n.
The current carried him beyond
the hole aud under the ice, but
he swam fifty feetuntfl he came
to anther hole, whence he
semtnbled out M'lth the fish in
hU mouth.
