THE DOG HAS ITS’ DAY
A SPORTING FORTNIGHT.
Paris, Jan. 30.
A fortnight ago a small black and white terrier ran down the steps of St. Placid© station and disappeared into a tunnel, apparently seeking rats. . For several days the drivers, on underground trains often had to apply their brakes hurriedly as the terrier strolled along the track.
Finally it established itself under the platform of Odeon station, and after a fortnight the current was cut ,ofl and a search party of policemen descended, equipped with lassos, chains, broomsticks and two pounds of meat. After 45 minutes’ search, the dog’s sporting fortnight was ended by a lasso.
