An Intelligent Dog.

A large dog at one of the Scranton
hotels became very much attached to one
of the boarders. He got in the habit of
following this man in his leisure walks
up town, and the boarder liked to have
him along. But on a rainy day the dog
didn't see the man start out, and the lat
ter had got around the corner before the
dog caught sight of him. The big dog
was so tickled when he saw that his old
companion was not far away that he
dashed up and rubbed his great wet side
against the gentleman's good clothes.
That was n form of boisterous familiari-
ty not to be put up with, and the man
spoke harshly to the dog and drove him
back. The dogs sensitive nature resent
ed this unkind treatment, for from that
day to this the man has never been able
to get the dog to walk out with him, al
though he has lone everything he could
think of to win back the dogs friend
ship. He followed the man once, but he
did 1t much against his will and only
after his owner had ordered him to. 1t
was thought the spell had been broken,
but it hadn't, and he has refused to &C
company the mar except when his mas
ter has commanded MIN to.
Another Illustration of the dogs intel
ligence is told by the same gentleman.
The dogs owner and he were in the
reading room one day when the dog
strobe in and lay down on the carpet. 81
won't mention his name or make any
notions" said the landlord to his board
er, referring to the dog, ''but I'll say
something to you In an ordinary tone,
and see if he will notice it." Then the
landlord added: 81 think his place is
behind the desk in front of the safe, in
stead of in this room" The dog seemed
to pay no attention to what had beer
said, but he got up right away, walked
slowly through the long hall, pushed the
gate open back of the desk and lay down
in front of the safe.-Scranton Special to

The Future of sleamboatinr.

1t is no easy to predict what is to be
thef future of this great boating interest,
We have over twenty thousand miles of
steam navigation, we have original and
enterprising boat BUILDERS, and an enor-
nous travelling public. We have had
in the past a phenomenal fleet of steam
boats, particularly On our western rivers,
and yet the business has been greatly de-
pressed, and there are fewer boats afloat
today than twenty years ago. Moreover
and this is the most serious matter of
au-our canals are being abandoned year
by year. While Europe spends millions
on canals and waterways, while France
is trying to make every little stream
navigable, and England is trying to turn
her interior cities into seaports, we per-
init our canals to fill up or foolishly give
them away to ~impecunious railroads for
roadbeds- Is it wise? Are we safe in
trusting all our freight business to rail-
o corporations? Today we can, if the
need come, send gunboats inland from
the Delaware to New York bay. If we
permit h railroads to destroy the bust
ness of the canal between our ship Yards
and our navy yards, we may be sure
that in every European war office the
fact of our folly Is carefully noted for
future reference. Once Great Britain
fought a great battle to destroy the
water route that connects the port of New
York with the back door of New Eng
land. Saratoga was fought to destroy
a vital water route. Fortunately, the
English generals who planned in London
thus to cut the country in two failed, and
yet today we are abandoning our canals
and see our great internal steam naviga-
ton system decay without a thought of
the consequences.
On h other hand-for there is a
brighter side to every ~picture-there is a
disposition among the travelling public
TO demand larger, finer, and safer boats
everywhere. We are being taught by
English tourists who visit us how to see
our own country. We may complacent-
ly talk of our limited trains and all that.
Every foreigner who visits us asks first
of all for our steamboat routes, because
our lake, river, and sound boats are
known of all the world.-Charles Ber-
nard in Century.
