DOG SOLVED THE PROBLEM.


Succeeded in Saving Both Ducks-How
He Did 1t.
A friend of mine, living on New riv-
err, in an adjoining county, was the
fortunate owner of superb black SET
ter called Don, says a writer in the
Richmond Dispatch. He was a splen-
did dog in the field, and by far the best
retriever l ever shot over. While we
were hunting one day in the low
grounds near the bank of the river, a
gang of wild ducks alighted in the
stream within shooting distance, My
companion at once fired into them,
killing one and wounding another so
that it could not fly. The current was
somewhat rapid, but about 100 yards
below small island had been formed.
Don, who, by the way, seemed to revel
in water, was at once sent out into the
stream to bring the game ashore But
when he attempted the task he was
greatly perplexed EIe could not mouth
both of the ducks at one time, for the
wounded bird would escape from him
every time he attempted to take up the
OIlltl Onts TIC tN luGllly saw IL WOulu
not do to come out with only one and
leave the other,for if he left the wound
ed one 1t would hide and escape before
he could swim to the bank and then
return for it, and if he brought the
wounded duck first the current would
soon carry the dead duck beyond recov-
cry. He made several Intellectual eff
forts, seemingly, to solve the problem
how to save both birds before he sue
ceeded in accomplishing the task and
by this time the water had floated the
ducks close to the island. This was
Don's opportunity, and he grasped the
situation at once. Selling the dead
duck, he swan rapidly to the upper
point of the island and laid 1t down on
the sand and then dashed into the wat
er again in pursuit Of the disabled one,
He soon overlook and captured it, and
at once struck out for the bank where
we were standing. AS soon as he
reached us he went up to his master,
who received the game from him. In
stantly, when this was done, he plunged
into the stream again, and, reaching the
island, took up the dead duck and
again reached us with his trophy.

If people could only feel that they
we're getting value received for their
taxes they would be much more ready
to pay them. Unfortunately they can
not feel this. American city govern
ments are VIGOROUSLY inefficient and
corrupt. The remedy is in the hands
of the people. They can have honest
government if they really want it
badly enough to work to get it, and we
believe that in time the appeal to the
conscience of the American people, and
If not that, certainly the appeal to their
fears, will have a marked effect in de-
creasing the tax frauds.
