PROOF ENOUGH.
How an animal can sometimes accomplish what a human being fails to do is shown in this amusing story of a dog. A mttn left a London-bound train in the Midlands and forgot to get his coat from the luggage-rack. On discovering his loss he wired to his father, asking him to claim the coat when the train reached the London terminus. Accompanied by his son's dog, the father went to the parcels office and identified the coat, but the attendant said he was sorry that, as th<?r© was'no legal proof, he could hot give the coat up. So the father had to l<ave the matter. But not so the dog, yho had been exploring the office. He euddenly saw the coat hanging from a peg, recognised it at a sniff, and proclaimed his find with a loud barking of joy. The attendant needed no further proof, and dog and man went away happy.
