Slide set: The eager politician and his greedy dog (story: manufacturer unknown, 6 slides, in/before 1898)
“The eager politician is seated in a restaurant, with his dinner waiting before him, his knife and fork in hand, but so busy is he reading and commenting on the speech of a member that he doesn't notice his dog slily getting on the table to purloin the fowl. He is just commencing on it, when the politician suddenly starts cutting up what he thinks is the fowl, still with his eyes on the paper; when, looking down a moment after, he is horrified to see the knife and fork sticking in the dog.”
