was q man named Stewart, of Du-
luth. lie had a small English spar-
iel, which swan ashore. The dog
was well known at Duluth and along
the northern Pacific railroad, and
was remarkable for his intelligence
aud sagacity. His owner was em.
ployed by the Northern Pacific road
to measure timber delivered by con-
tractors. The dog would tlke the
end ofthe tape-line and go to the end
ofthe log. sixty or seventy feet long
and hold it Mt the end until his mas
ter would hold it ut the other, and
do this all day long until the timber
was measured. His master would
send to the postofice. simply saying
to him Ego up-get letters" the dog
would 60 to the postoiliee and go
around to one Of the clerks. look at
him, wag his tail, and was so well
known the clerk would give him let
tiers, which he would carry back to
his master, and ia the same way
would carry letters which his mas.
ter had written to the office TO be
mailed His scent was very acute.
Coming home from the woods one
day, Stewart was met on the road
by a company Of young people, who
bad been at a picnic, about a hall
mile away. One OF the young ladies
had left Der ~parasol on the ground.
Stewart called his dog, and pointed
to the path said, Ego dad and bring
here.n The dog was gone about Is
or 90 minutes, and returned win the
psrasol. A pile of lumber, put in
Stewards charge, vas being stolen.
Stewart called bis dog, took him to
the pile and said, watch it and see
who takes itn Two or three days
afterward the dog came to him 10 the
morning, aud by signs familiar TO bis
master, told him to follow him. Stew.
art took a policeman with him, and
told the dog to 60 on and he led
them about a quarter sfa mile TO a
shanty. occupied by a Swede on the
bank Of q lake. They looked under
the shsGty aud saw q large pile OF
boards. The Swede was . arrested,
taken before the justice, and Stewart
told the justice what the dog bad
done. The justice at once convicted
the Swede Of the larceny.
A great many other doings Of the
dog are known to the people Of Duh
nth and it is to be hopei that he will
fall into good hands.
