Onesummer afternoon agroup Of chill.
dren were playing at the end Of q pier
which projects into Lake Ontario, near
Kingston, New York, U.S.A. The pro-
verbal careless child of the party
made the proverbial backward step off
from the pier into the water. None
Of his companions could save him, and
their cries had brought no one from
the shore, when, just as he was sink
ing for the third time. a suberb Nee-
foundland dog rushed down the peir in
to the water. and pulled the boy out.
Those of the children who did not ac-
company the boy home took the dog to
confectioner's on the shore. and fed
him with as great variety of cakes
and other sweets as he would eat So
far the story is, of course, only typical
of scores of wellknown cases. The
individuality of this case Is left for
the sequel.
The next afternoon, the same groul
of children were playing at the same
place, when the canine hero of the day
before came trotting down to them
with the most friendly ways and mods.
There being no occasion this time for
supplying him with delicacies, the
children only stroked and patted him.
The dog, however, had not come
out of pure sociabiiity. A child
in the water and cakes and candy stood
to him in the close and obvious rela-
ton of cause and effect, and if this re-
lation was not clear to the children, he
resolved to impress it upon them.
Watching his chance he crept up be-
hind the child who was standing
nearest to the edge Of the pier, gave a
sudden push, which sent him into the
water then sprang in after him, and
gravely brought him to shore
To those of us who have had high
respect for the disintcrestedness of
dogs, this story may give proof that
the development Of the intelligence. at
the expense of the moral nature, is by
no means exclusively human Lon
don Spectator.

A Milder and More effective Method
than whipping.

An experienced horse man says:
The habit of baking in double harness
can generally be easily overcome by
means of a cord one. forth of an inch in
diameter and sixteen feet in length, an
iron ring about one and one.half inches
In diameter, and piece OF strong twine
some two feet in length. Fasten the
ring securely by means of the twine to
the back strap, where it is crossed by
the preaching strap, then double the
cord, placing the loop formed by the
center under the balky horses tail like
a crupper. Cross the cord and pass
both ends through the ring attached to
the back-strap. Garry them forward
and pass them through the terret.ring
on the saddle OF she harness which is
next to the balky animals mate,
then carry them through the hame-rlng
of the kind horse and fasten them, leav.
ing little slack, but not sufficient to
allow the balky horse to settle into the
breeching OF the harness. After COM
pleting this arrangement step back,
take the reins and start slowly. OF
course the balky one will attempt to
hang back. but the sensation produced
by the cord will divert his attention in
a very short time. and before he real.
ICES what he is doing he will put his
shoulder to the collar and help draw
the load. This is much better than
whipping, and a few lessons will gener-
ally effect permanent cure.
