Haze Huson, noted hunter in the Wilderness around squaw Pond ike, in AIeosteok county, Maine, owns a mon grel dog which much fine gold cannot buy. This dog knows nothing about the pampered fife which his city eou- sins lead. He answers to the name Of Sam. is three years old and weighs forty pounds. Haze got him when Q pup from a Tobique River Indian. giv- ing in exchange for him two muskrat skins and q half pint of red liquor. Sam gave proofs early in his career that be was no ordinary dog. He never wasted time On running after small birds. and has never been known to exert his Snergy in chasing cats or paying at the moon, but. gives his leisure time 10 more Industrious pur- suits. His sagacity. intelligence and Remarkable doings have been the top ies for many an evenings discussion at the village grocery. where the resi- dents of the town congregate twice week to get their letters and papers from down the state. Huson has a camp on the shore of Squaw Pond lake, where he spends the greater part Of his time, and Sam constantly keeps an eye out for bear, etc. The region abounds in bear, deer, moose and caribou, but Sam has learned the laws of the state and in close time will not chase one of the animals. However, if any of them strays into the camp yasd, Sam sees to 1t that he does not 9ng remain. No charge Of Illegal killing has ever been laid at the dogs door, so to speak. As fisherman Sam has become an expert. In the lake near by are many fine trout that are not molested by the bigh-priced kit of the city fisherman, and the dog spends much of his time on the shores Of the lake, where he watches with great interest the slimy bottom of the lake where the trout come up to feed of the water weeds. When Euson wants trout for dinner he calls Sam and tells the animal to bring trout Sam immediately goes 10 the shore of the lake, watches few minutes, and then swims out. Shortly after be dives toward the bottom, and nine times out of ten when he reap pears at the surface he has the fish in his mouth Sam dislikes ehub, cells and suckers aud never touches them. Near the lake there are fine foeks of ducks They come up ID the fall and remain for few weeks, and Sam is then o1lEelvet His long suit is catch ing ducks. He enters the water some distance from where a flock is, and swims along carefully until within few feet of the birds Then he goes under water and rises underneath duck and pulls .t under the w2ter. Then be starts for shore, leaves his catch and goes after another Sam's most notable exploit was last June. Husons camp is built along the side of a big. sloping rock, the top of which Is nearly even with the ewes of the cabin roof One day, just after din- her, Haze started in his canoe across the lake slight fire was burning in the camps stove at the time, and the stoVepipe being defective, sparks fell on the dry roof A flame was soon started, and the camp was in danger of being burned unless something was done quickly to prevent it. Sam was lying in the yard, having his monday nap, when he smelled the smoke. He awoke and found small blaze on the roof Without ringing in an alarm by barking the dog rushed into the camp and grabbed water pail in his teeth and ran to the lake. There he filIEl khe vessel and ran back to the house. climbed the rock and turned the water onto the blazing roof. He re- peated this operation several times un- til the fire was extinguished, and be- fore Huson, who had seen the flames from his canoe, could reach the house.
