Lifting His Hat to a Dog

The Hon. Philip Hoyne, of Chicago, relates the following: "I was going along the other evening, when a savage dog flew out at me, evidently ready to rend me in pieces. Now what do you suppose I did? Whipped out my pistol? Not a bit of it. I simply lifted my hat. Don't laugh. The dog stopped, looked at me, growled, and finally crouched back to the doorstep, and began wagging his tail. I have done the same thing over and over again with the same result."
