BLOODHOUNDS GO ON STRIKE Either That or Safe Crackers Refuse to Leave a Scent in Merrick, New York. Mr'rrick. N. Y.-A bloodhound's life is not 'll that it is cracked up, to be. Every time the Merrick postoffice is robbed-and it happens with a rcgular ity that is getting positivtely monoto. nous-folks say, "Call out themn dawugs," and expect the pack of blood. iloinds that the iLong Island railroad keeps kenneled here for emergencies to get exir 'ted about It. They used to get exeited about it, but that was back ill tile days of their youtI. It was great sport to go chasing off ii full cry down Main street and out along til' Merrick road. and keepl the whole town o2 th*e anx touts seat until it was time to come home with a clheuedup woodehulik or chipmunk. tiut, of !oturse, they couldn't keep that upl indefinitely, and, besides, the supply oi woodciuLk and chipmunk was running low. In fact, old woodsnen say it is now more than twit miles 'cross country from the village to the nearest woodchuck hole W\'henl Postmaster allrry Zeiner opened the olice the other morning he found that about the only things that tihe yeggmen had left untouched were the blotters, the inkstand, the portrait of the Great Easterni that aangs onl tihe righthand wall and the last year's circus poster card by the 'Men Wamnted for the .4 rmy" litho gralph. Th'le safe was blown to bits and the back of the oflco we mostly dayb~ght. The postcaruis, the sheets of statunps and ll ile cash were gone. It was a clear case for the bloodhounds from the start. Dieputy Sheriff Murray ilashed tile alarn' to tihe kennels and1( tile crowd arounld the oflice cheered as tihe pack hov'e in sight at thb far end of the rtreet. "lire comle the dawgs," was the i;:it this bit of encouiragemernt only got themil as far as the oflieu dloor. iFromi t hat pointt thley had2( to be leaished'. anid diragged forclbiy inside. and2( mlade to siff at the safe anld tho cashl drawer. While everybody was trying 10 get Roger, tihe fIercest of the lot, to pick up the scent and be off, two of tile plack discovered a soft spot belind Zhe deliveay window and wereb 'ound,(1 some timeI later, fa'st asleep. This more or less broke up the party. It w'as accordingly decided that either the yeggs had been careless enough 'o leave no scent or the blood hounds had gone on strike, and that whichevnr It waa ihe idea of running down th~e robbers with dogs was im Dracticable.
