52 OUR DICK. 



we have taken our recent journeys in 

 company with a rather stout and dig- 

 nified Scotch terrier, who, by long and 

 frequent travel and the kind permission 

 of those in authority in such places, is 

 quite as much at home on railway cars 

 and in hotels as any commercial traveler. 

 In Master Richard's favor, the rule one 

 sees in hotels "Dogs must be put in 

 charge of the porter" has been waived 

 at establishments I will not name, and at 

 such he has been made quite happy and 

 comfortable. 



I have said that he was a creature of 

 exemplary manners ; but in truth it must 

 be confessed that age has brought with 

 it one infirmity which has caused his 

 friends regret, and often mortification, 

 this is, his antipathy to members of his 

 own species, save those of inexperience
