Reasoning by a Dog.

ssI have a strange story of animal
reasoning" said Miss Elizibeth Can't
we'll. cat my home, in New York
city, I have little dog of the fox
terrier breed to which l am devotedly
attached. The little creature is of
a confding and loving nature, and we
think great deal of each other.
"Eyer since the dog came into my
possession he has worn a certain col.
lar, with license tag attached, and
was taught to fetch the collar from
the kitchen when it desired to go out
far a walk. One day I purchased a
new collar, and, putting it around the
dog's neck without attaching the IL
cense tag, we started out for walk.
The dog was running along some dis
tance in advance of me when the dog.
catcher suddenly appeared in front Of
it and, lassoing it with wire moose,
carted my pet off to the pound in
spite of my indignant protestations
and fearful entreaties. It was two
days before could unravel the REG
tape system of recovery and secure
possession of my dog. All the way
home it,whined and cringed as thong b
ashamed Of itself, and seemed to real
ize that it had been disgraced.
For several days it acted as if it was
severely i'll, but finally recovered its
wonted good nature and liveliness. It
was beautiful day, and I thought I
would take it out for walk. I again
fastened the new collar around its
neck, but was unable to coax the lit
tie animal to leave the house with
me. I begged and threatened, but all
to no avail. It would not come with
me, and I abandoned the idea OF q
walk. I went into the frontroom and
took off my bonnet and jacket. In
the meantime the dog had run out
into the kitchen, and in moment re-.
turned carrying in it's mouth the old
collar with the license tag attached.
This it laid at my feet and then beg
ged in its usual custom to 60 out. i
made the change of collars, and the
dog followed me without any urging
The next day I tried the same trick,
but the dog would not leave the house
with the new collar. 1t seemed to
reason that something was lacking
about the collar which had got it into
serious trouble. I determined to see
if there was anything in the dog s
reasoning, and the next day had the
tag attached to the new collar. The
little creatuR never hesitated mo-
ment, but followed me just the same
as it had done for many months with
the old collar. That afternoon
I tried the old collar without
the tag, but the rascal would not move
step.
sDo 20 mean to tell me that that
dog had not reasoned out the cause Of
it's previous misfortune? Itknew the
tag was its protector and abso-
lutely refused to leave the house with

OF new documents and their publication,
but in thorough, competent, and brilliant
criticism OF the facts OF the Waterloo
campaign in the light OF the knowledge
we possess and It is not likely that we
shall ever have much more. or that what
we have will be substantially different
from the facts as presented by Mr. Ropes.
AT Waterloo Napoleon had his frst
experience with the staying power OF the
English line. and with the serene, alert,
commanding intelligence OF the Iron Duke.
He never before had 10 do with force
which could stand up, man for man,
against his French troops and beat them
back. In spite OF all Mr.. Ropes STRIFE
lures. there Is no reason 10 believe that
his operations at Waterloo differed much
from those at Ligny. The man he fought
and the English line differed tremen-
dously Had his tactics failed at Ligny
(as they certainly would have failed had
the troops been English instead OF Prus-
sian. commanded by Wellington instead
OF Rlucher). reasons for the defeat would
have been plenty as blackberries, and very
much like those which apply 10 Waterloo.
I'VE are not always convinced by Mr..
Ropes. but we are always impressed by
the brillancy and candor OF his work.
His command OF the subject is mastery.

many a dropped stitch in the history. as.
for example. his demonstration that II

a book about It. His idea was to picture
a woman perfect in mind and body, de-
