Reading recently Of a dog that had

wood, called to mind : setter pup I
once had He was SO young when
brought to the house that he had to be
fed with the bottle like = baby. As he
grew older he was put in the kennel
with collie dog. TO whom he became
strongly attached. The collie was
kept chained. but the little setter had
free range One day the puppy was
nowhere 70 be seen. but later he came
NJ the hill with, an empty condensed
milk can and set it up in front Of the
kennel. lie again disappeared and
soon returned with another can. which
he placed close to the first This per-
formance was continued by the little
fellow until there were five cans placed
in a straight line. one touching the
other. Ny curiosity At the pups
strange doihgs led me TO follow him.
He went TO shallow pit some distance
away from the house, where empty
cans were thrown, and searched among
them until he found another milk-can.
which he carried rather YEARLY up the
hill. Having first assured myself that
thare was no more milk-cans l waited
for the dogs return 20 see what he
would do. He made great clatser
among the cans. but found none Of the
sort he wanted Then he came to me
whining. rs II 20 say: Find me another
cam but when he saw / could not
help him be went or to his beloved
collie, looked at the row Of CANS. and
then coaxed the large dog out Of the
kennel. His delight was great when
the collie knocked over the cans as he
walked TO the end Of his chain. Then
he set them up again and sat down.
locking the picture Of content The
cans we're taken away and put back in
the pit. The next day the same per.
Torrance was repeated. Aftcrward l
had the milk cans hid to see whether
puppy would bring others He searched
for them. but. not finding them, would
not teich the Others. When. however.
the milk cans were put back again he
once more brought them 10 his friend
With joyful tail-wagging. II certainly
was singular performance. and would
seem TO indicate that the puppy had an
eye for form aud size. 1t was very
strange, too, that he always arranged
