relieve it from the jar consequent upon the
continual passing of trains This outer

William Fowler, a conductor on the c,
L. & w, has a dog called Mack which
displays much more than ordinary intelii-
gence. He is of the Irish setter breed, and
is o pretty brown color with flakes of white
about the neck and head. On last Sun
day Mr.. Fowler was reading paper on o
porch eight feet above the ground. One
part of the paper fell of the porch to the
ground, but Mr. Fowler paid no attention
to the matter for nearly halt
hour. When he had finished
reading the part he held IN his
hand he spoke 10 Mack and told him, with.
out making O motion in the direction of
the paper on the ground, to go and bring
him the piece which had fallen. Mack did
not understand him at first, but after two
or three explanations, during which the
paper vas not shown him, he went after
it. He caught one corner in his mouth,
and started up the steps to the porch,
and finding it impossible to carry the paper
without tearing il, he laid it down and
doubled it over several times till he could
return il without tearing it. The other
day his master had him in a drug store,
and the clerk. wishing to see what he would
do, bundled up piece of paper and hand
ed it to him and told him to take it home
He dropped it to the floor aud shook his
head as much as to say "fou can't tool
me-" A few minutes later he took bot
tie wrapped into similar package. home
with him, evidently knowing the difference
between useless and useful work.
