The Dog nd the Telephone.
Tom Reynolds, of RpynolitavUlo, vm
In town thin week. Tom hns nn intolll
Ront don which was nont to him from
Austral in, and of which ho i very fond.
Tho doff la hIbo badly infntustcd with
Tom, who has a telephone in his hoimo.
Tom hns taught tho dnjj to midnrstund
that tho mnchlnn can tnlk hy holding
the receiver to tho dogs ear. On
neveral occasions when Tom hns been
away ho called up his residence and
had the dojj brought to tho 'phone, when
he would talk tothecaninoinsuch sooth
ing Inngungo as to fill the canine with
delight. Ho would of course recognize
his master's voice, and make all sorts of
demonstrations of Joy. About two
weeks ago Tom brought tho dog to
Punxsutawncy, and whilo hore talked
over the 'phone to his friends at home.
Ho also permitted the dog to listen.
From this tho dog got the idea that
there were only two 'phones In exlRtance
one at his homo, and the other at
Hotel Wavorly in Punxsutawncy, as
the circumstances about to bo disclosed
will abundantly provo.
Last Saturday Mr. Reynolds came to
Punxsutawney and called up tho dog at
his home as usual. The dog barked
and whined, and made a great ado, all
of which could be plainly heard over
the wire.
About an hour afterwards, just as
Tom was about to leave, judge of his
surprise to see his dog come bounding
into the hotel! He had run fourteen
miles in less than an hour.
Now Torn says that, as the dog is
firmly of the impression that there is
but one other telephone box in the
country besides tho one in his home,
that he will not dare to talk to the dog
from any other point, because if he
docs that dog will start Immediately for
tho Waverly Hotel, Punxsutawney, ex
pecting to find him there. Punxsutaw
