Heisa King Charles spaniel which Mr. Wilhelm imported whan a pup. T'hat was seven vearsago. He prizes the dogas he does his life. Guy performs all sorisof miracalous tricks taught him by his master, and makes himself generally useful about the saloon. Afew yearsago Wilheim taught his dog to eat pennies; since then the habit has grown on the dog, until he has begun to re- gard the copper asarelish. He has eaten as high asforty inasingleday. All a per- son has to do is toplace a penny on Guy's noseand count seven, and the instant the seventh numeral is reached Guy snaps the copper from the end of his nose and in- stantly swallows it. - THE CALL CALENDAR, Avgust, 1897. u.
