An Intelligent Dog.

A marlborough tVt) special says:
There passed through marlborough
the other day a pretty little dog, who
has seen good deal more Of the world
than most dogs of his age. His name
is Tony and those who ask whose little
dog he is are informed that his master
is the postmaster at Albany, n. y.
Tony is sky-terrier. and is as pretty
as he is intelligent and curious about
the world.
The mail clerks at the Albany Post
Office early conceived a liking for Tony,
who for a morning constitutional used
to walk with his master 10 the office.
He liked them. too, and took great JOY
in watching them sort the mail and lock
the bags. Soon he began TO follow the
mail wagons To the trains and not long
after lie followed the bags into the mail
car. One day he was found comfort
ably seated on the topmost bag. One
of the clerks shared his dinner with him
and the dog rode on to Boston over the
Boston and Albany. When the mail
was taken out he betook himself to the
baggage room and waited for a train
back, smuggling into the mail car
again and again sharing lunch with the
clerks He rode back to Albany, but
I AtlG uGNA NEEh WIS AOuuu III dAbAtAEl
mail car. and soon he began 10 spend
most of his time ION the road" He
did not always go to Boston. Some
times he went TO Springfield, and more
often he tired OF travelling and left at
one of the smaller stations. He be-
came known by all the clerks on the
road and lived IN comparative luxury
during his trips.
After leaving the car, he always
4 stayed around the station till n return
/ train pulled in, and then he made for
4 the mail-car, if it had one. Sometimes
I he got off on branch road aud then he
would be gone for weeks before he
would find his way back TO the Boston
and Albany line. On the present trip

An Outlaws Dumb Pickets.

There lives in n wilderness section
OF this tColumbia) county a hermit.
He has welded destructive knife
and revolver in half score of TRACE
dies and is constantly on the alert,
expecting to be assassinated. This
man, who has forfeited the compan-
ionship of mankind, is guarded by
animals that are we'll trained watch
meR. He has magic control of the
brute creation, aud owns six large
goats and an equal number of dogs.
His lonely cabin stands in the middle
of a fifteen ucre field. When he goes
to blowing three of the dogs are plac-
ed at each side of the field ut his row =
end. The dogs are trained to patrol
the adjacent forest, and no human
being can approach without being
exposed 10y these vigilant sentries.
AT night the dogs and goats lie
about the cabin--the goats without
the ward Enclosure and the dogs with
in. When any human being APP
proachcs these goats set up an un-
earthly series of beating. The dogs
within understand the signal and
rush iuriously at themtruder. Arm
ed to the the teeth the proprietor
halls the visitor. II found to be a
friend one word from the hermit sill
ences both goats and dogs and the
guest il invited in. Thus guarded
the desperate man says he sleeps
more securely than the ear, because,
unlike the imperial cohorts of the lat
ter. his faithful sentinels cannot be
bribed or otherwise rendered unsafe
by collision with thier owners enc

A young girl stopped to admire q
costly painting in the window Of an
art store on Woodward avenue. saws
The Detroit Free Press. She stood there
come time and was turning away when
her eyes fell on a poor little kitten
huddled in a corner OF the window next
to the street In moment the express
sion on the girls face had changed from
one of admiration to one Of pity. She
bent over the forlorn little animal.
smoothed its ruffied fur and caressed its
lean sides. The poor little object re-
cognized friend. for it crowded closer
to her side and rubbed its head against
her hand.
The picture within the window was
cold and dead compared with that liv-
ing picture outside. The girl was evi-
IDENTIFY thinking of her past. She was
living over again the scenes Of home
life when happy faces clustered about
the hearthstone. The joyous frolics Of
childhood came to her in her day
dream, the memories of sunny child
with Just such kitten in her arms bad
made her unconscious of the place or
the curious chances of the passers-by.
ii was some time before she moved from
the spot, and as the kitten bounded
after her she turned as il 10 pick 1T up,
then walked quickly away and was soon
lost IN the PASSING crowd
