DOGS UNDERSTAND OUR Ian
GU4GE.

The creation of something like
language among our civilized dogs
has naturally been accompanied by
the development of an understanding
of human speech. Although we can
not attach much Importance to the
mass of anecdote on this point, there
is enough which is we'll attested, sui
fcient indeed which has come within
the limits of my own observation, to
makeit clear that dogs. even without
deliberate teaching. frequently &C
quire a-tolerably clear understanding
of a number of words and even of
short phrases. They will catch these
not only when given in distinct COM
mand, but when uttered in an ordi-
nary tone without any sign that they
relate to their affairs. 1t is true that
these understood words generally re-
late to some action which the dog is
accustomed to perform, yet there are
instances so we'll attested that they
deserve credit, which seem to show
that the crea lures can get some sense
OF the drift ofconversatlonev even when
it is carried on by persons with whom
they are not familiar and does not
clearly relate to their own affairs

Character Upwards Father Says
His Son Is Not Guilty.

MINNEAPOLIS. Dec. l9.-W. ". Ray-
ward, Harry's father, declares that both
of his sons will be cleared. that Blixt
Is cOnfessedly a notorious liar and that
his various confessions will have no
weight. He added that the defense had
evidence that Blixt was in the power of
a gang and committed the crime under
their dictation with the understanding
that if discovered It should be ascribed
70 Harry Hayward. This gang. he
added, was not composed of MinneapO
lis people. Mr.. Hayward refused to &C
count for the behavior of Adrain, the
older brother, saying II would be ex-
planned later
Mrs Claus \. BIixt has made long
and succlnCt statement to K. X. ODeIl,
her husbands attorney, the purpOrt of
which was that she had long known of
the immense influence exeTted over her
husband by Harry Hayward. She tried
In vain to counteract it. Blixt said sew
eral times that Hayward would be the
death of him aud that he dared not dis
obey HIM.
Just before the crime Blixt went
around like man in dream: it was
hard TO attract his attention. and his
memory became defective HAYWARD
impressed on bIlAC Wnat he mad TO DO
many times day, and kept the idea
of the crime constantly before him, ac-
cording to the wife's statement.
This evidence Is to be used in con-
nectlon with that of Blixt's father and
brother to show that the man was of
temperament most susceptible to an in
tiuence that approached the hypnotic IN
Its character. 1t Is a question as TO
whether the court will permit testimony
OF hypnotic character, but the defense
Will make a strong effort TO show at
least that Blixt was not a free moral
agent when he committed the crime
This line of defense Will make the trial
a most novel one III criminal annals.
