dachshunde's stall he was observed to
pause suddenly, look at the animal reposing
in the stall for some moments and examine
1t most closely. He stood as If transfixed
for few moments. and then the tears
were observed to course down his cheeks
and he shook his head mournfully The
scbs came from him in limburger-like
chunks, and an attendant questioned him
as to what was the trouble.
"Oh, mefn poor little Wilhelm" he said
They have stolen him from me and made
him into sausages. Dey made him into one
big bologna. 1t was too pad Donnervet-

Explanations were made, and it was
proved to him that the dog was alive and
in his natural form before he was satisfied
that his long-lost Wilhelm had not been
made the victim Of the sausage man.
Fox Terriers Amusing.
The fox terriers are the source of more
amusement than are any other dogs in the
show. 1t is certain they have lots Of fun
among themselves in making fun of the
visitors at the show. When an unusual
looking stranger walks up the aisle they
put their heads together. making jests at
the expense of the incomer, and II dogs
can laugh, they come as near to 1t as any
do. They apparently spare nobody.
This morning one of the dogs, which is
certainly one of the most gentle in the
show, was lying down, apparently asleep.

ever, it would have been seen that he was
simply playing 'possum. for one of his little

A little while later the fun-loving terrier
