DOG PBTE's OOMMoN-sENsE.
No Pedigree and No Repertory of Tricks
but He Knew a Good Deal.


He was not thoroughbred, heightened
dog with an ancestry that made him a
canine aristocrat. He was a plebeian
hound, democratic and homespun in his
ways, with a degree of intelligence and
common-sense that would do credit to
man, the speaking animal. His name was
Pete, and for fourteen years he was men,
Der of the family of N. M. Wright of East
Hartford. He had good head on him for
a dog, and many of his feats of mind
power SO to speak, are traditions In the
family. He knew al the members of the
family when their various names were
called, and would approach the mother or
the aunt whenever told to do so, and never
made a mistake, says the Hartford Cour-
ant. One instance of Pete's sagacity is
worth noting as showing the quality OF the
dog.
It was during the period of heavy snow
and impossible roads Immediately sue
ceeding the March blizzard of 1888. One
member of the family was away from home
six miles and a half and sick. There was
no way to get any word to or from her,
with the snow six to ten feet deep in the
roads. Pete was familiar with the place
where the sick person was, and how to get
there. He also appeared very nervous, and
evidently missed the sick one from the
house. One day it occurred that commu-
nication might be established by Pete. A
note was tied about his neck, and he was
told to go and find the sick one. He
plunged into the snow, made his way. six
miles and half, gained entrance to Mhe
house, rushed into the sickroom, and
jumped upon the bed. The note was read,
an answer tied to Pete's collar, and he was
sent back. He made the round trip in two
hours and half, and each day for two
weeks made the same trip, varying
| scarcely a minute from two hours and a
half on any trip.
Well, Pete grew old. He was weak, his
teeth were gone, and it was hard lines for
the old hound. Mr.. Wright, although he
had shot many animals in his capacity as
agent for the Humane Society, could not
bring himself to part company with a
friend that had done such faithful service
and been so worthy member of his fam
lily. So it happened that one day this week
Dwight w. Thrall, the general agent of the
society, was out in Hartford, and he was
called upon to perform the sad office. Pete
was sent across the Styx painlessly at the
muzzle of Mr.. ThralPs revolver. His body
was put in new pine box and he was ac-
corded a decent burial, and there were real
tears from those who loved him.

Cut Her Wrist.
Mary MeGrath, an elderly woman living
at 500 Center street, came very near bleed

be conveyed to the Receiving Hospital.
She was on her way home carrying a

pitcher broke and the fragments cut into

quantities of blood poured, and she was In

Yet how constantly are our schools
committed to the care of teachers,
whose only qualification is a third
grade certificate, and that obtained
only after repeated efforts. Who can
tell how many life has been spoiled
by experiments in the school room by
incompetent teachers. Great danger
lies in having untried teachers foist-
ed upon our schools by personal fav-
oritism and chicanery.
1t is no wonder that those most
conversant with this need of our
schools in this county cry out with
one accord: Give us professionally
trained teachers, men and women who
have been themselves thoroughly d.
ciplined in normal schools, and who
will not make the school room toy
