... To Pieces By A Dog

Two burglars less cautious than the fratcrnity generally is, attempted to enter a wine merchant's store in Paris. Having broken off the shutters, they broke a pane of glass and one of them attempted to creep in through the window. When half in his arm was suddenly seized by a larga dog, which pulled the man into the store and began tearing him up. The terrible cries of the victim bronght an employé and the proprietor of the store to the scène, who, after some trouble, succeeded in gettina; the thief free from the dog's jaws. He was in a pitiable condition, the flesh being torn from the body so as to lay bare the boncs everywhere, and there is but little hope of saving his life. His accomplice ran away as soon as he saw his companion at the mercy of the dog. - London Echo. - "Now, Mary Ann," said the teacher, addressing the foremost of the class in mythology, "who was it supported the world on his shoulders?"
