Tlio accompanying ptoturo ia that of
spits which ia uow 7 years old It
gooa by the utuno of MIiiho and la the
property of 0. Harrison, a San Leaudro
Madhouse keeper. Mr. Ilarrlsuu liaa a
number of thai dog, but Mingo Is the
only cue tbnt acta as the wntubdog of
bia uiuxttir a treasury. II ia tho ouMtom
of Mingo aa aoou aa a customer drlvci

know the dog throw the ooiu in pay

go alan goes into the parlor and oolleota
for whatever ia served there, and if
there happens to be any change coining
to the purchaser he take it back.
One duy a would be wng threw tho
dog a counterfeit dollar, who made bia
usual rush for the coin, bnt, to the
amazement of the follow, tho dog re
fused to take op the money and tat ex
pectantly waiting for another. Amid
the laughtor of hi ooiu pan lone be
throw a good coin to the dog, wbon, to
the further aatonUbmcut of those proa
ent, he ran off witb it, leaving theother
on the floor. The owner waa called in,
who knew nothing at that time of the
smartness of bia dog, and the ex perl
moot waa repeated again and again, but
the counterfeit would not go with
Mingo.
Since then tome roar yeara ago
Mingo baa bod more bad coin tried on
bim than oonld be found in the govern
ment collection of ancb coins, and, witb
an instinct aa fane aa that which Ukea
the magnetic needle to the north, be
cboosea between the g Jod and bad. If
there ia any doubt aa to a coin offered.
it ia thrown to the dog, and the matter
etaudi by the dng'i decision.
This little fellow, "who eweata witb
his tongue and am ilea with bia tail,"
ia never put to the neocsalty to rattle
the coin on the floor or take it to an
eloctrlo light to examine it, bnt in dark-
nuaa or in light it ia ever the tame. He
will not take op a counterfeit, and the
bogna nickel or the leaden dollar, balf
or qoarter be knowa in a moment He
baa been tested bundreda of timea and
will piok a good coin out from a doxen
bad one or will leave only the bad onea
lying on the ground from a handful
thrown bim. Heia a natural born mon
ey maker, grabe at a coin aa would, a
minor, and for a stranger it would be aa
bard to get it from bim.

equaled at the enbtreaaory. He ia keen
