The Head OF the Herd

DO animals ever feel the fine sense
Of responsibility which human beings
term noblcssc obligc? 1t would seem
50, past all doubt, from pretty story
told by Dr. Wood Hutchinson. in the
Contemporary Review.
DR.. Hutchinson was hunting one
day with another ranchman on the
table lands of the Platte river, when
they caught sight of small group Of
antelope grazing upon the slope of
hill about two miles away.
Making long dctour to get down
the wind, the men hobbled their
horses and crawled, it seemed about
three miles, mostly on their stomachs
and elbows, until they found them
selves, hot and sandy, at the back of
the ridge OF which the antelope had
been seen.
Up this ridge they crawled, their
hearts in their mouths, while the ami
mails must have grazed up the slope
to meet them, for the men suddenly
looked up aud saw a superb prong
antcred head silhouettcd against the
skyline. Instead of taking Il steady
aim as they lay, DR.. Hutchinson and
his companion went crazy at once,
lcaped to their feet and blazcd away
wildly at six frightened antelope who
went dashing down the steep slope like
- many jack rabbits.
OF course they missed everything,
and dropping their empty guns they
drew their x-shootcrs and began pop
ping 1T the antelope as they dashed
up the opposite slope of the narrow
valley.
Suddenly they noticed the biggest
buck drop behind the others, and fur
Il moment they thought he was wound
ed. To their astonish:ncnt however,
he turncd again, and they saw what
he was doing. He was defyipg them,
to distract their attention until the
does and fawns could make good their
escape.
The little herd soon reached the
top Of the ridge, plunged over ard
were lost to view; but their plucky
champion stood proudly for several
seconds on the summit, stamping his
feet angrily at the ranchmen, until
backward glance assured him that his
family were out of range behind the
hill, when with Il last toss Of his head
he whirled and was after them like
fash
''For some reason OF other says
DR.. Hutchinson, ''we didn think of
loading our rifles for another long
range shot, but took off our hats to
him as he went over the ridge, and
had the decency to be glad VIC had
missed him

Wonderful Sheep Dogs.

'I'hc most celebrated breed Of shcp.
herd dogs c.cr known in the West =
said jud Bristol, the old time sheep.
nan offor, Collins. Colo. were those
bred from a pair Of New Zealand dogs
brought to Colorado in 1873. had
several Of their pups on my ranges,
aud could fill volume with instances
of their rare intelligence and faithful
ness
/ remember one pup in particular.
He was only q months old when he
was sent out one day to work on the
range. At night. when the herd was
brought up to the corrals, We saw at
once that part Of the herd was miss-
ing They were 1,G00 in the bunch
when they went out in the morning,
but when we put them through the
chute We found that 200 head were
missing. The pup was also missing.
Well, all hands turned out for a
search. We hunted all that night
and all Of the next day, and did not
find the lost sheep until along towards
night. But they we're all hcrdcd in a
little draw, about five miles from home,
and there was the faithful dog stand
ing guard The wolves were very
plentiful in those days. ana the dog
had actually hidden the sheep from
the animals in the draw The poor
fellow wa, nca y famishcd, az lie had
been fer dirty tx hours without food
or water. From that day he became Il
hero, but was so badly effected by
hunger, exposure and thirst subsc-
Iucnt ovcrrccding and pcttin@ that he
died not long afterwards.
This same pups mother was an
especially fine animal One night the
hcr'lcr brought in his ilocks and hur-
ricd to his cabin to cook himself some
supper, for he was more than usually
hungry. But he missed the dog,
which usually followed him to the
cabin of an evening to have her sup
per. The hcrder thought it rather
strange, but made no search for the
dog that night. But next morning he
found the gate open and the faithful
dog standing guard over the hocks.
This hcrdcr in his haste the night be-
fore had forgotten to close the gate
and the dog, more faithful than her
master, had remained at her post all
night, though suffering from hunger
and thirst.
"On another occasion this same dog
was left to watch Il flock of sheep ne r
the herders cabin while the hcrder
got his supper. After he had eaten
his supper he went out to where the
sheep were and told the dog to put the
sheep in the corral This she refused
to do. and, although she had had no
supper, she started off over the prairie
as fast as she could go. The hcrder
put the sheep in the corral and went
to bed. About midnight he was
awakened by the loud barking of a dog
down by the corral. He got up,
dressed himself: and went down to
the corral, and there found the dog
with band Of about ff:y sheep,
which had strayed Off during the pre-
vious day without the hcrders knowl
edge, but the poor dog knew it, and
also knew that they ought 20 be cor
ralcd, aud she did it. Drarcr Post

WEATHER IN DECEMBER.
Statements BASED on a Long Series of
observations.

Statements Based on a Long Series of
Observations.
Chief Moore of the weather bureau has
issued the following statement regarding
the kind of weather that may be expected
In December:
1.-THE following statements are based on
average weather conditions for December
as determined by long series Of observa-
tons. AS the weather of any given De-
cember does not conform strictly to the
average conditions the statements cannot
be considered as forecasts:
Settled weather prevails in the tropical
regions of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
in December. In the middle latitudes of
the north Atlantic an average of three
storms Of marked strength traverse the
ocean from the American to the European
coasts. These storms follow closely the
paths Of the transatlantic steamships, and
usually occupy three to four DAYS in the
passage from Newfoundland to the British
Isles December Is one of the months of
minimum fog frequency along the transat-
lantc steamship routes. and icebergs are
seldom seen over near the banks of
Newfoundland.
The severer storms Of December average
about three a month over the great lakes
and on the north Atlantic coast Of the
United States; about two a month on the
month on the south Atlantic, gulf and mid
die and north Pacific coasts.
December Is one Of the months of maxi
mum rainfall IL the Pacific coast states of
the United States. 1t is also one of the
wet months in the middle and northern
plateau districts. In Arizona and New
Mexico the winter precipitation is much
lighter than that of the summer months
On the eastern slope Of the Rocky mountains
and in the Missouri and upper Mississippi
valleys December Is one of the driest months
Of the year. In the gulf districts the rain
fall averages less than that of the sum-
mer and fall months. On the Atlantic coast
states the lake region and the Ohio val
ley the average precipitation for the differ
ent months and seasons does not vary
greatly.
an December frosts may occur in any
part Of the United States except the ex-
IRENE southern portion of the Florida pen
insula. During December January and
February the trucking districts Of the south
Atlantic and gulf states and the orange
groves of Florida and the gulf coast dis
tricts are subject to damage by freezing
weather Severe freezes are not, however,
Of yearly occurrence in the districts named
but occur on an average about once in five
years.
Heavy snowfalls in December are Of rare
occurrence in the United States"
