hurdles, which has an opening of twenty
two inches, or just wide enough TO allow

sheep are first liberated. The worker Of
the dog is allowed to assist, without,
however. touching the sheep when the
dog has brought them up TO the pen. The
shepherd works the dog almost entirely
by whistlinS or motions. Often the sheep
separate at the commencement; the dog
has then to bring them together and
start with his charge at the proper
place The competitor may be success
full in driving his three sheep up to
the pen at the end of the trial; he
has then a most difficult task. and
tho utmost patience and skill are then
required, as only one sheep can enter at
a time. and the other two will often go
outside the pen. 1t is then the dogs

In training collies, the young dogs are

There has been an innovation in the
matter Of court trains, which, oddly
enough, has been deemed of sufficient
Importance to be telegraphed from Lon

substitution of diaphamous trains for the
heavy velvet ones worn for years. These
appeared at the last drawing-room at

sprays. wrought in jet sequins. 1t was
bordered all round with the Greek key

with many and beautiful diamonds, this

Huronite: Today In this common
wealth 100000 hearts beat In unison In a
heartfelt welcome to the grand and
brave regiment that has returned to the
state-returned with a record OF bravery
and LOYALTY to the flag unsurpassed in
any land.
Eighteen months ago, upon the CALI
for volunteers by the chief executive Of
the nation, South Dakota, one of the
youngest commonwealth, raised in a
remarkably short period, the regiment of
heroes that todny returns to the state.
Through the fortunes of war they were
sent to far distant land to battle to sus-
tam the flag raised over territory acquir-
ed by the immortal Dewey. History will
record how Loyalty they did their duty.
From the time the first shot was fred by
the lone Nebraska picket, the First South
Dakota regiment was in the thickest Of
the fight. Engaged on the firing line
longer than any regiment, their loss was
correspondingly greater. The glory and
fame that comes to them is but small
recompense for the hardships and pri-
vations endured, but the voice OF love
and gratitude which comes from every
loyal heart today. will do much to cause
them to forget the dark scenes in the
Luzon.
And in greeting these heroes. let us
not forget that there are many vacant
places in the ranks-many homes desc
late, and hearts we'll nigh broken over
the loss Of dear one whose light went
out in defense Of the flag he loved.
With just pride South Dakota extends
to every member Of the regiment q cor
dial welcome home. The day will never
come when veterans Of the First South
Dakota will march by an audience with
out thrill Of gratitude penetrating the
heart Of every man who views them.
