4 HUsTL1NG BOSTON TERRIER.
An Instance of Canine Sagacity Mt the
Westminster Kennel Club Show.

An Instance of Canine SaEacity Mt the
Westminster Kennel Club Show.
new dog anecdote Is as rare as a blue cram
berry. but an incident OF the last Westminster
Kennel Club bench show seems to have the
genuine stamp OF originality. 1t appears that
an apple-headed and jolly young Boston ter
rler was benched In the next pen to three fine
Manchester terriers Of the gentle sex. To the
Boston the show was one immense racket and
generally happy time. but the Manchesters had
colds and were sad. They passed their time
cuddled up together and shivering in their
cloth coats. They regarded the attempts of
the Boston to sniff up an acquaintance through
the wirework netting with perfect indirer-
ence. and his coaxing barks were treated with
curt contempt. The pride of the Common had
had too many firtations up Boston way to
care for an icy air to start with. and he con-
tinued a persistent sutton In spite OF no en-
enlargement.
On the last afternoon of the show the owner
had the Boston terrier out for q walk and per-
mitted the dog to play about the restaurant
while he had lunch. Unperceived by the
owner. when the time came to return to the
show pen the Boston jumped on a chair and
took a fine turkey leg from the plate. The dog
followed the master to heel. and so was not on
the leash. Bearing the bone proudly. the dog
stuck close to the owner until the pen was re-
gained. when. instead OF waiting to be lifted 70
his place. the terrier jumped into tho pen of
the, Manchester terriers. They were. as usual.
huddled together in a corner. The Boston
then. with a glad bark. he jumped to the
ground and then into his. own place. The bone
acted like n tonic on the sick Manchesters.
They tore off the shreds OF meat with the
greatest animation. while the Boston watched
them at work and barked loudly.
What do you think OF that 2" said the owner
to the bystanders who had seen the whole per-
formance., Is that pup of mine trying to show
Of q Good Samaritan ? He keeps me guessing! !"
Now the exhibitor of the Manchester terriers
strolled up. AT the sight Of the bone he acted
as though some, person was trying to poison
his, dogs. and, while the bystanders maintained
threw It behind the furthest benches. But not
one OF the dogs cared. The Manchesters had
time. while the Boston was thoroughly happy.
Whenever he waRged q tail there were three
tails wagged to answer him In the next pen.
