WHY DOGS ARE INTELLIGENT
Prof. N. s. shaler of Harvard univ

Prof. N. s. Shaler of Harvard univer-
sity, in his study of domesticated ami
mails, advances this theory in regard
to the dog, which explains in a large
measure why the best traits of the dog
have been developed. The dog of the
savage could not have been a cultured
creature. He had not been long enough
associated with man to subdue his ma
tive impulses. The dog hunted for his
master. When game was plenty, man
and animal had enough to eat. But
when game was scarce the savage ate
the dog. Today, when in a state
of famine, Eskimos will eat some
of the pack. But choice is exercised
then. The strongest, and the most af-
fectionate, or the most intelligent ami
mails would be spared. The weaklings,
the cross, the stupid dogs would go to
the pot. "In this way" writes Profess
sor Shaler, ''for ages careful, though
unattended process Of selection was
applied to these creatures" and to this
we may fairly attribute, as many con-
siderate naturalists have done, a large
may say moral-elevation to which
In his clever study of the dog, Pro-
fessor Shaler. looking more particular
ly to the instructive traits of pointers
and settlers, speculates as to how long
these hunting animals have shown
their peculiarities when scenting game.
Some theorists have advanced the idea
that the actions of the dogs, as point
ers or settlers, can only date back from
the invention of the fowling-piece. 1t
is mooted question among those
vino have carefully studied firearms
which served for sport whether Spain
was not the first country using
the fowling-piece. Now, curiously
enough, tradition seems to indicate
that the early pointer-the dog with
an exaggerated split of the nostrils-
was originally Spanish, and that from
Spain the breed travelled northward.
If the idea be entertained that the
pointer appeared with the use Of the
fowling- piece, the particular speciali-
zstion of the pointer only began in
dogs removed by some thirty genera
tions from those of today. Those who
advocate this ingenious theory do not
bear in mind the dogs which must
have been used in hawking, and hawk
ing is of the utmost antiquity.-New

RIVERSIDE

Women and Whisky the Cause of a Fatal
Fight
RIVERSIDE, Jan. 15.-F. @. Hazen of
South Riverside shot and killed s. e.
Cooke of the same place this morning.
The dead man was an employee OF the
pipe works and the shooter is said to
be an idle character who bears any
thing but good name. The cause of
the trouble was woman and whisky.
When the murder took place the MUIR
dered man and several others were at
Hazen'5 house drinking. Hazen con-
sidered that Cooke had offered his
(Hazen's) wife an insult, and fight
was the result. Hazen drew revolver
and tried to shoot Cooke, but the latter
took the weapon and fired couple Of
shots at Hazen. The latter then &c.
cured rifle and shot Cooke dead.
Hazen had his preliminary eXamina-
ton today and was held for trial.
