Oueer Happenings.

Mature tells of canary that had

A drove of over 200 sheep was being
driven on a road in Indiana. At de-
preston in the road water was found to
cover it from fence to fence, but little
more than the wagon track being bare.
Just as the leader of the flock reached
this spot q large black water snake
crossed the track. The leading wether
stopped short, and the entire space was
soon blocked full. In a moment dog
came bounding over the backs of the
sheep, and, dropping down between
the water holes, took the leading wether
by the ear, giving him gentle pull.
He sprang into the air, clearing the
narrow space between the water holes,
followed by the entire flock, the dog
not leaving the track till the whole
drove had passed.
