DOG'S FALSE TEETH
PREPARES FOR WAR.
TWELVE YEARS OLD
Jumbo, an Irish terrier, living at Catford Bridge, London, is ab.out to spring a cruel surprise on the rats which haunt the backwaters of the River Ravensbourne. This lively little fellow who is 12 years old, has spread havoc among the ranks of the Ravensbourne rats in his time. Recently, however, the rats have been sitting up and laughing at him, for Jumbo had only three teeth left - L. * v.This indignity was too much lor his fiery spirity. He looked with an appealing eye at his master, who, touched at the fallen grandeur of the little warrior, took him to a dentist and ordered for him a set of false teeth. With some difficulty an impression of Jumbo's mouth was taken and the rats of the Ravensbourne will have the shock of their lives, for when Jumbo darts at them with his old fury his jaws will reveal a set of new and gleaming teeth.
