The Dog That Died. A miner, owner of several whippets, matched one of his animals against another dog in the district for a £2O wager. The day before the race everyone was surprised to hear that one of tho competitors had accepted a £5 note from the other and allowed the match to be declared off. “Ye are the biggest foo] under the sun,” exclaimed a supporter to the recipient of the note. ‘‘The other dog’s so lame that it can’t run fast enough to beat a dust cart.” “That’s all right,'' *aid the owner; ‘ ‘ my dog died suddenly last, night.”
