me that it was n good time of year for

peacefully snoozing up in his cabin on
the hill side, would give me an ever
lasting farewell if L turned out paying
patrons. So stayed, with one eye on
the window, one on the party, and both
cars out for the storm. The rivulets on
the floor had spread out, and pretty soon
we had a good foundation for a nata-

Talk was getting pretty loud around

lowed after with their chairs. Booze

an object worth taking risks for.

TRAINING OF BIRD DOGS.
Are Taught Many Good Qualities by
Watching the Older CANNES.


y novel theory of bird dog training
is advanced by an experienced hunter
and trainer, George Kennedy. He says:
I'VE all know how few and far between
the good dogs are, whether good, bad
or Indifferent trainers have had them in
hand. Not one out OF hundred is sc
well trained that he has sense of his
own. 1t may be possible that we may
he training our hunting dogs wrong
Those dogs that trained perfectly had
no sense of their own, and those that
half-trained had more sense, were better
bird finders, but each of them had some
canine idiosyncrasy that brought him
down below the level of the desirable
dog"
The truth of the matter, he thinks, IS
that training deadens the dogs mind
IL becomes automatic, and when a novel
dilemma arises it has no reasoning fac.
ulties with which to meet the emer-
gency.
II am half inclined" Mr.. Kennedy
says, ito believe that the way to train
dog is to let him learn from his SUI
periors-that is, from the best dogs pos
sible. That is a slower process, but it
excludes any sort of human interfer-
ence. SO far as my experience and oh
servation have gone. it takes at least
two years for an old dog TO train or
teach young one. He learns in this
manner TO point, back, retrieve and
range, and no other dog can range like
the self-taught or dOg7taught ranger.
He goes like the wind and hunts for
birds every minute, with a single ep1

dog is like having a photograph teach a
child. The best dogs for hunting pur-
poses are those which are thinkers"

the big mills that are now eating the
sides out of the hills up there hadn't
been thought Of The boys were run
3 ming rockers down in the gulch then,

'Ig3y looks to some dispensation of
providence that you didn't quite see
the drift of; but few people would care
to charge a disposition like his to any
thing but the devil. Sorrow was his
shadow, and the wailing of widows and
the crying of orphans had followed him
y0ut of more than one camp. But, some
how, when he struck Gold Cross the
general air of condensed shiftlessness
seemed to take the place of his usual
original cusscdness, and, being above
