i “Paddy” Fallon Loses Dog But Not His Angora SOUTH AMIIOY. Oct. 6:—Patrick F. Fallon, of this city, one of the three Democratic candidates foi freeholder, is the possessor of whal he believes will be a lucky mascol at the coming election—namely, a camouflaged hound dog. This ani mal is a beautiful study in red anil green, its tail in particular, which ha.s alternating stripes of red and green, being of the variety seldom seen in this section. The how and wherefore of "Paddy's" freak dog make up a long story, but this is the way it is generally told. Celebrating his nomination he purchased a nne hound last week and early Monday morning set out with his new acquisition t.o get him arcustomed to the woods. After an hour's tramp through the woods the dog disappeared and no trace of him could be found by its new owner. The woods were hunted for the miss ing canine but with no success. "Paddy” had given up all hopes of ever seeing the dog again when lo and behold something crawled through a hole in the backyard fence and there was his long lost hound. But what a difference! Instead of the glossy coated, proud hound of a few days ago there stood before the local politician a poor, forlorn, dis gusted dog ip whose fur had been splashed red and green paint. Fal lon is at a loss to know whether the futurist artist who did the painting did it knowing that the dog belong ed to him or whether the painting was done by someone who just wanted to take out his spite on ■ omebody and picked the dog. At any rate "Paddy" is a believer in good and had omens and figures that he will whitewash his oppo nents in November in a manner similar to that in which the paint was applied to his dog.
