OLD DOG BRAVE,
the big Newfoundland at Congress Hall. Brave is
always happy and well fed when the hotel is full and
when business goes on well, but let the coaches come
empty and go full, and the
faithful old animal gets
many a kick. He has got
the thing learned by heart
now, for let the coaches
drive up full and you will see him standing with his tail wagging,
and his great honest bow! wow!! wow!!! will sound along the
corridors. But let them come empty, and you will see him with
his tail between his legs, trying to get away from the threatening
proximity of the Chesterfieldian Hathorn's boot.
