Dog Resolves to be His Own Expressman.
When Mrs. James Gordon, whose family has just moved to Pitman, N. J., from Indiana, went to the telephone to answer a call from a local expressman who reported the arrival of the Gordons’ dog from the Western State, she was interrupted by a scratching at the back door.
As she opened the door, the dog came bounding into the room. He had broken out of his crate in front of the express office, more than a mile from the Gordon home, while the expressman was telephoning. There were three dollars express charges due on the dog, which the expressman gave up hope of ever collecting, until Mrs. Gordon drove into town an hour later and told of the arrival of her pet.
