TRAINING WATCHDoGs.
The Method That I. Used by &c,

The Method That In Used by a Ger
man Instructor.
Although it is generally believed that
watchdogs are ito the manner born"
it seems that certain amount of train
ing helps very much to turn out real
~ good one. This system of training
has developed into regular business
in Berlin, where one Herr Straus has
an academy from which watchdogs
are turned out by the hundred every
year.
His system is educational and is APP
piled to almost every kind of dog. He
first teaches the animal obedience by
training it to perform certain tricks
at command and then trains it to dis
tinguish between visitor and bur-
glar and what part Of mans body
should be attacked to render the man
helpless.
Outside of the gate the trainer places
dummy representing the burglar, and
to the. latch is attached string. By
means of the string the gate is opened
slowly, until the head of the dummy
becomes visible, when the dog is
taught to fly at its throat Herr Stratus
is very particular about this. He makes
his dogs attack the throat or the upper
part of the body always. Sometimes a
real man well padded takes the place
of the dummy. and Of course he is we'll
| paid for his services.
| All dogs it seems, may be made good
watchdogs. but the st. Bernards and the
Russian wolfhounds are the best where
property of great value is to be guard
ed. For dogs not so fierce as they are
a different system of training is used.
They soon learn to guard anything
committed to their care, but are not so
quick to attack an intruder as the
fiercer dogs are.-Philadelphi Times.

The Winning Manner In Which Bill

Old Dallas Times.
There are ways and ways Of settling
labor strikes. The unions have used
the sympathetic strike" plan, at times
securing settlement by calling out
the forces of allied trades. With the
"bosses" the lockout frequently has
done the business. But there are meth
DDS of erasing differences between en-
ployers and employees which even Chi
cago has overlooked. Strikes have
been settled by the bosses joining the
ranks of the strikers, voluntarily as

Proof of the power Of this method
was furnished during the days of the
old Dallas Times. That Texas city
was but struggling town then, with
population that was getting close up to
the 1000 mark. The editorial helm of
The Times had just been seized by
William Steritt, better known in Wash

today as plain "Bill" Steritt, the title
''colonep frequently being prefXed in

The Times under the Steritt regime
employed five men and one woman in
its manufacture. The latter was the
wife of the foreman of the printing
room and worked at the cases." while
the printers deviP' performed double
duty by acting as the motive power Of
the hand press. The foreman during
his younger days had had an argument
with mule, and the scars Of that bat
tie which decorated his face had aided
in securing his reputation Of being "a

the new hand press had begun the

THE CRIMINAL CUCKOO.
He r. the One Exception to the Kind
ly Nature of Birds.


Bad temper and cruelty are perhaps
the most obvious signs of mental de-
generation in the beasts The larger
monkeys, fer instance, become as bad
tempered as violent man when they
grow old, and many in their treatment
Of other animals are cruel as we use
the word in regard to man. Among
the carnivorous beasts the cat amuses
itself by torturing mouse, and the
weasel tribe kill for sheer love of kill
ing. No such cruelty is seen among
eagles or falcons. Fierce as their tenn
pers are, they do not torment other
birds Which they catch or kill for kill
ing's sake. Good temper is general
among birds.
Except the cuckoo, such thing as
an i'll tempered wild bird is unknown.
Nowhere in the race can temper like
that of the Tasmanian devil or the
wild hunting dog or the Cape buffalo
or the baboon be found. Even those

Among these kindly and simple ma

there be no mistake on this subject
He unites in his life and character,
from the egg to the adult bird, prac-

An impudent fraud was perpetrated
upon Manchester bank by one of it's
customers, who opened an account
with some few hundreds of pounds.
The man, after few weeks, drew two
checks, each within a pound or so of
his balance, and, selecting busy day.
presented himself at one end of the
counter, while an accomplice, when he
saw that his friends check had been
cashed, Immediately presented his own
to a cashier at the other end. Both
cashiers referred the checks to the
ledger clerk, who, thinking the same
cashier had asked him twice, said

were never caught.

THE SOUTH AND DEMOCRACY.

Whether or not there shall be'a reorga-
nization of the Democratic party depends
upon the South, in the opinion of ex-
Speaker Carlisle. Certainly that section
ought to speak with authority In DEM
ooratic convention, since 1t Is the section
that furnishes practically ali the support
Democratic national candidates get; and
doubtless IL would so speak If 1t saw 1T
to assert itself. The trouble is that the
South cares only for one issue, and that
an issue which this North has little or
no interest in. If the South had definite
and pronounced views on the currency
which 1t would not surrender, 1t could
compel the Democracy of the North TO
accept them or to go out Of business.
The same is true of OPINIONS on any 9TH
er subject, If it entertained them with
firmness. But It has none--that Is, none
that it is not ready to lay aside whenever
the Northern Democracy asks 1t to do
so. The negro question SO completely
oyertops every other question down there
that no other Is much thought of. What
they say 20 the Northern Democrats, Drac-
tically, Is that If you win accept our view
of the negro question we will accept your
Views on every other question, whatever
our real beliefs may be. So long as the
South perseveres In this attitude 1t
cannot become reforming agent; so
long as 1t remains in this position North
ern Democrats who have views which
they want to force upon the country will
pay little heed to what the South may
think Of those views, because they can
count on the support Of that section
whether it likes their opinions or not.
The North will dictate the policy of the
party on everything but the negro ques-
ton, SO long as the S outh remains as In
different to everything else as 1t Is now.
VIGOROUSLY a large per cent of Southern
voters did not believe In free silver, and
considerable per cent approved of the adj

have voted for gold man, or an imperi-

about. Indifference never produces re-

The situation in China lie not without
some danger to the allied forces. The
number OF European troops available
there is not large-at present, and to rein
force them with any considerable number
OF men would take good deal OF time.
So far the outbreak has bsen confined en-.
tirely to Northern China, mot even there
has there been general participation In 1t,
and the allied forces have been adequats
for the emergency. But should an insur-
rection break ous In Southern China. and
the spirit OF the people all over the empire
become aroused, the allies might be face
TO face with situation beyond their
ability to cope with successfully. The
Chinese are not easily stirred mp. War
can go on in one part OF the empire with
out distant parts knowing much
about 10. and caring less; but reports OF
the doings Of such expeditions as the
allies have been sending out are likely, In
time, to spread all over the empire, and
may excite the populace to frenzy.
This tomb-destroying business IL espeo-
tally dangerous, since IL appeals to the
religious and superstitlous feelings OF the
people. II the powers are really animated
by a desire to get out of the country as
soon as possible. and not to disturb the
sovereignty Of the Chinese over the en-
plre, they Will be careful to do moth
ing beyond what the actual neces stiles OF
the situation demand. No doubt the
civilized world viii insist that those re-
sponsible for the murder OF foreigners
shall suffer condign punishment, and
that suitable guarantees are obtained,
and sufficient safeguards established to
prevent a recurrence OF the outbreak,
But to 60 further than that will be to
exceed any demand that really exists,
except on the part of a comparatively few
people who may see opportunities Of per-
sonal profit in despoiiing CHINA and par
calling 1t out among the nations of
Europe; and II 1t prscipitates war, the
responsibility for 1t will be largsly upon
those who have in charge the movements
