"This dog had the mange or some ■ disagreeable disease that caused him ■ to itch in the mogt reprehensible manner. He was always scratching and rubbing against everything he could find, first and last One day he upset my parlor table and broke all my best china, which I had placed on the table a few minutes before. He also upset the sewing machine and the churn, and I don't know what else. "So when Mr. Curfew heard that , the agent's soap would cure skin dls- ; eases, he Insisted upon buying a cake, ' and after he had gone he began to I wash the dog .with that marvelous i' soap.
