The dog at once indicated her choice of
those two propositions by stretching her
self out on the floor and shutting her eyes.
''You must be a Mckinley dog, BoZzy;
are you?" She answered at once with a
short, sharp bark that very clearly indi-
Gated her presidential preference.
The next act in Bozzy's repertory was
making change Her master put on the
floor a IS bill, silver dollar, a quarter
and a nickel. and asked one of the onlook-
ers to call for a combination of change
that could be made with those pieces of
money. One dollar and quarter was the
first amount called for, but the dog Yves
slow about picking it up 1t was because
she does not like to pick up the silver
coins that she hesitated, Mr.. Clason ex-
planned And doubtless 1t was, for when
she started to pick it up she got the right
amount and was able to tell the value of
each piece of money as she carried it to
her master. She picked out other combina-
tons from the same pieces, too, and lear
ly showed that she knew the value of
money.
Another exhibition of her counting was
this Her master held his hand before her
and asked: HOW many rings are there
on that hand?" The dog barked twice and
was right.
IL is not possible or necessary to so

before this company. She did them all
quickly except in the one case of picking
up the silver money, and 1t was clear in
every case that she was not prompted by
any sign from her master.

other things that show clearly that she is
capable of mathematical computation. In
one of the busiest streets of the downtown

until she was told TO come back

man, and he walked wonderlngly away
Down at the stock-yards Bozzy does any
number of tricks that would be too much
for the ordinary "smartest dog in the
world" For instance, on an order from
her master to go into a sheep pen and
bring ten sheep out from the entire num-
Der, she brings out ten and no more. On
Mr.. Clasen's farm in Wisconsin when she
is told to go down to the pasture and
bring up the cows, she brings the COWS.
but does not bring the steers from the
same pasture. If told to bring the horses
she brings the horses and leaves the cows.
although they are kept in the same lot.
When told to bring the gray horse she
brings the gray horse and makes the BAYS
stay behind.

One of the smartest of Bozzy's pup
pies is owned by j. NJ. Whitman, general
manager of the Northwestern Railroad.
He has been trained by Mrs. whitman to
do great many of the things done by his
mother, and he is considered a remarkable
dog. Another of Bozzy's puppies, owned
by Miss Anna Miller, is only thirteen
weeks old, but is able to count to five.
Where is the 13-week-old baby that cen

Bozzy's puppies around the city, and while
not all of them have been trained, they are
all capable of being trained as she has
been.
MT. Clason claims that collies are Gus
ceptible of higher training than eny
other breed of dogs. The use of the breed
for so long time as sheep dogs has given
them a degree of intelligence not possessed
by other kinds.
