The man who was doing the talking has
endured good many hard knocks while
making a successful way through the
world, and, like most persons who have
survived such experience. has very decided
opinions OF his own. I've always regarded
woman as the weaker vessel" he said.
but want TO say right here that Mrs.
Sims is very remarkable person. I
don't believe she could tell a Percheron
from kentucky thoroughbred. yet / saw
her start bslky horse the other day, after
twenty men and boys had been beating.
kicking and cursing the poor brute for
half an hour. The persuasion she used
was couple OF Jumps of sugar and few
kind words.
But it was just yesterday that she con-
WINGED me Of her great superiority. You
can gauge her knowledge of dogs from the
fact that she paid S. for long haired
mongrel puppy, under the impression that
she was buying an aristocratic pug. Sims
has a bull terrier that's professional
fighter, and Torton. who lives next door,
owns big st. Bernard. The two dogs be-
gan an argument through the fence, and
the larger one simpliied matters by crash
ing through a board into Sims yard The
whole neighborhood was soon engaged in
an effort to part them Strong hands
tugged at tails legs and ears. Clubs We're
freely used, water was dashed upon the
belligerents, and the stern orders from
them to break away could be heard
blocks off. When Mrs Sims appeared on
the scene she seemed TO grasp the situa-
ton IN one terrified glance. She flew into
the house, dashed out again, and inside
of minute had the savage fighters stink
ing away from each other.
How did she do it?'
Bottle of ammonia. Surest thing on
earth to break UP a dog fight, and it's
original with her. Why, those two ter
rible beasts quit like pet sheep. and the
joke of it is that each dog thinks the 9TH
er administered the awful dose. They
never see each other now that they do
not curl their noses as though smiling
ammonia, and trot briskly in opposite d.
rections."
