Dr. Ru- ait Bolling Teusler, a physician on the American Em staff. at Tokio, head of the St. Luke’s Hos- pital of the Episcopal Mission, rela- tive of Mrs. Woodrow Wiison and former head of the American Red Cross in Siberia, owns a bad dog and also a summer home on Hayamsa h where the emperor was re- cently staying in one of his detached ‘Palaces. A humble fishmonger at Hayama also owned a dog until a recent great event. Two little Teusler girls accompan- fed by their dog were passing open air fish store when the canine took the opportunity when the fishmonger was not looking to grab a “katsuobushi,” a species of dried bonito displayed like kindling wood in every Japanese fish store. The fishmonger’s dog, more alert than his master, started in pursuit of the aristocratic thief to recover the katsuobushi with the usual result in dog society. Both the animals van- ished in a clond of dust amid loud yelps and momentary glimpses of tails and legs, followed by shouting from the hmonger, the Teusler children and the villagers. When the | fishmonger— recovered remains of his own chewed up dog the Teus- ler dog and the katsuobushi had disappeared. The storekeepér vent- ed his anger by striking Miss Vir- ginia twice with a stick. The im- perial police attached to the palace thrashed e fish merchant and threw him into jail, Mrs. Teusier applied liniment to Miss Virginia's leg and papa whipped the trouble- some dog The jacident ‘rapidly assumed in- ternational importance. A Japanese official in an imposing silk hat and morning coat called at the Ameri Embassy jo to express regre for the affair. Edward Bell, the charge d'affaires, arrayed in top hat and frock coat, called at the Foreign |— Office, expressed the appreciation of the embassy and cabied the details to the State Department in Washing- ton. The metropolitan police sup- pressed the important news of the dog fight and until now it has re- mained a secret in the diplomatic Dr. Teusler interceded, declaring-} 4 was unwilling. that unusual punishment’ should be infilcted be- cause the 1 who was strick papper to an*American.

A farmer had for a long time been potfigaing the local council to fill up a deep mud hole on the common before his house, but without result. One very wet night, as he was seated comfortably before his fire, a ery for help was heard from the outside. The farme>, seizing a lantern, opened the door and peered out into the darkness, to find that three coun- cillors, on their way home from a meeting, had missed their way across the common, and were now strug- gling in the mud hole. _ “Well, gentlemen,” said the son of the soll, as he surveyed them “I am glad to see you stir- ring in this matter at last.’ Small States.
