Highly Sensitive Patients.
In all treatment Of a sick dog re-
member you are dealing with a highly
sensitive and nervous patient BE very
gentle, avoid roughness or anything
likely to alarm him. In giving him any
liquid medicine do not open his mouth,
but, placing him between your knees,
with his face looking In the same dlrec-
tlon as your own, gently raise his Jaw
and, pulling his lips away from his
teeth on one side Of his mouth, TO form
a cup or funnel very slowly pour from
bottle or spoon the quantity he is to
have into Il.
Keep his head raised for n minute or
two and II he does not swallow the
dose Insert n spoon between his front
teeth. This will have the effect OF
drawing Off his attention from the
medicine and he will usually swallow
at once. II the dose is a pill, bolus or
anything solid, hold his head the same
way as before mentioned, but with the
left hand under lower jaw, press firmly
on each side with thumb and finger at
the junction of upper and lower jaws.
This will usually cause him to open
his mouth, when the dose should be
put into the mouth as far back as
possible over the tongue Tor he will spit
II ouO and close the jaws somewhat
sharply, and In most cases the deed ls
done. II any trouble arises with the
action Of his front paws this may be
got over by wrapping him round with

THE COLLAR BUTTON.

ITS blessings Realized Only by Those
Who Have Lived without IL.
"In looking over trunk full OF old
truck the other day." said the elderly
man, 81 came across a lot OF old shirts
with the buttons sewed ON, and as |
looked at them | realized anew what
the collar button means TO humanity.
There have been greater inventions,
surely, but not many that have CON
ferred a more unmixed blessing on
mankind.
'"rhe younger person OF today, ac-
customed TO the collar button always,
cannot realize what Il was to be with
out II. He can never know what 1t
was 20 have shirts with the buttons
sewed On-or not. as the case might
be. Not SO very many years ago, when
the collar button was yet comparative
ly new, before persons had come TO
keep, as everybody commonly does
now, a lot OF buttons ON hand, the man
who had lost his collar button thought
himself entitled TO the sympathy of his
fellows, but wrung as he might be by
that loss he could not even guess at
the anguish that I'm the sewed on but
ton days fllled the heart of the man
who, when he came TO put on his last
clean shirt. found that key button, the
one ON the collar band, most important
one OF all, gone entirely or only just
hanging by thread!

happen to him and didn't swear That
was the only great thing he ever did,

alone was enough to stamp him as Il

.SKOOKUM JOHN

A Warm Spring AutOerat Who Travels VIII
HIS Harem

warm Spring AutOerat Who Travels With
HIS Harem
EUGENE, Or, Oct. S.-Belknap Springs
special to the Guard:
The other day, peculiar appearance
attracted our attention. A genuine old
fashioned ''stovepipe" hat first came in
sight above the crest of the road grade,
then a broad, smooth shaven, coppery
face. followed by the body OF an Indian
and the pony he rode. Three squaws
with several children, packed and
loose horses and two dogs, ,all lin a bunch,
followed their lord and master at res
pectfu distance.
The Indian on arriving threw his
bride reins to the ground and exchanged
salutatons with Mr., Belknap inChinook
.'wawa" (talk). The squaws.except one,
began TO strip a pack horse OF his load
and prepare lunch. The excepted
s0uaw came down from astride the
horse. and took q seat upon the ground.
It is needless to say she was the iavorite
of the harem which the old Mormon
"skookum" (stroug)" John" maintained.
To all appearances she was about twenty
years of age, of full face, rather hand
some for an Indian woman. and some
what corpulent. "Skookum" had prob
ably seen sixty winters. Mr.. Belknap
gained the information that "Skookum
Johns" favorite squaw was added to his
collection through an exchange OF 10
horses, Asked il he could not have got
rid of one of his old squaws as "boot" in
the trade he gave an emphatic shake OF
hishead with side glance at his chattel,
accompanied by the explanation, wake
close, which may be interpreted as "no
good" or not much value"
"Skookum John" seemed disinclined
TO discuss his domestic affairs but left to
get feed of oats for the particular horse
which was selected to bear him to his
Warm Springs home in Eastern Oregon.
The cavalcade started with the old In
dian in the rear. After getting off about
100 yards he returned and handed the
"stovepipe" to Mr.. Belknap with the in.
junction to keep it safely until his re-
turn another season.
