SHEEP DOGS INTELLIGENCE,
Some Interesting Experiments PeE~ formed at the Trials or
 the CoIIieS.

Since the iutroductiou of sheep-doG trials in Wales and Englaud, this high ly interesting and instructive sport IS. becoming yearly more popular. on " fine day it would indeed be dIihcult 10 find more interesting sight than the highly trained shepherds dog, or col lie, working the little flock of three ot the widest sheep over the course m T most wonderful manner. The friendli- ness and iovial good-humor of the own CTS of dogs toward one another are III marked contrast 10 the jealonsles so often present at sporting meetings. added to which the fresh air. healthy surroundings and gay throngs go l" make thorough days enjoyment.
 The shepherd working the dog stands at the post, from which he IS not allowed to move more than slN wards. At given signal three sheep are liberated from the pen; the shep- herd then sends his dog 10 the sheep. which are to he driven in the direction indicated by the arrows and between the hurdles: if any Of the sheep go out side the hurdles the dog must bring them back and take them the proper course, to the triangular pen ot three hurdles. which has an opening or 22 inches. or just wide enough to allow one sheen to enter at time; he has then to pen them, the time allowed being l. minutes from the time the three sheer are first liberated. The worker of the dog is allowed to assist. without. how ever. touching the sheep when the dog has brought them up to the pen. lh' shepherd works the dog almost entire ly by whistling or motions. Often th' sheen separate at the commencement the dog has then to bring them to gether and start with his charge at tn proper place. The competitor may b successful in driving his three sheep uI 10 the pen at the end of the trial: b has then had most difficult task. an the utmost patience and skill are the required, as only one sheep can ente at time. and the other two will ofte go outside the pen. II is then the dog sagacity is shown. He will crawl O his belly like cat. and quietly driv them inch by inch until he gets ther in the opening and the three jostled int the pen.

editor and proprietor of the Sauk
County Democrat. Born in Wiscon-
sin. Of German parents, about l3 yrs.
ago, Ed. began when quite young to
assist the household by working
in the local printing offices when not
at school, and thus acquired good
business education and the qualifica-
tions necessary for an editor and pub
Usher. These qualifications he has
since improved by constant and in
telligent application, until to-day he
is recognized us IA leading citizen OF
the state and stands in the front rank
of his chosen business. Within the
last ten years he has made the Sank
County Democrat, published in "a
strongly republican city aud county,
admittedly the peer of any paper
ever published there, and one of the
best weeklies printed in the state. In
the same time he has attained prom
inence as "a working member and Of
hcer of the National and State Edit
orial A associations.
He has taken interest in public and
political affairs, as live newspaper
men must do, but always defends his
opinions in such terms as to retain
the respect and good will of his OPP
ponents. This was forcibly demon
strated last spring, when Mr.. Luckow
was elected mayor of the republican
city Of BaraboO, defeating n worthy
republican competitor by ll9 major
ity. AS candidate for congress Ii
is expected he will do rs well or bet
ter in his home city, and some Of his
political friends are sanguine that he
will overcome the usual 800 repub-
lican majority IN Sank county. In
addition To welding a good editorial
pen, Mr.. Luckow is able also to ex-
press himself effectively on the ros.
uum, though he disclaims pretense
to public speaking.
or course he cannot hope to be
elected in this reliably republican
district. and we expect him to con
time with us in the editorial har-
ness. If, however, II political tidal
wave should sweep him into congress
the people would have an honest, eff
ncient and faithful representative

LaFoLLETTE OPENS CAMPAIGN.

The Republican campaign TOT W IS

principal speaker and main attrac-
ton, drawing out an audience OF sew

attention of his hearers to the close.
The address covered national and
state questions, and is the most COM
prehensive and the clearest present.
alton of the issues involved in the
coming election, and the strongest
defense OF TIE Republican position
on those questions that have yet APP
peared in a speech Of the campaign.
This is the general opinion rendered
through the press, including the Mil
waukee Journal, a conspicuous anti
LaFollette paper, which says. in ed
itorally commenting on the speech
at is unexpectedly calm and well
put up, free from gush and fireworks.
He enters largely upon national ques-
tions. and rivals the best party ora
tors yet presented in his handling of
the issues"
The closing part of the speech is
devoted to state questions and the
attitude of the republican party to-
ward them. He declares that "the
Republican state convention has pre-
sented to the voters Of Wisconsin IA
platform of principles which Is in
every line guarantee Of good gov
eminent. Every
declaration of that platform is so
just and right in principle as to APP
peal to the intelligent citizenship OF
this state on grounds higher than

to the plank favoring nomination Of
candidates by the primary election
system. mo resolution in that plat
form" he says, us So vital to the wei
fare Of all the people as the pledge
for the nomination Of candidates by
direct vote under the Australian bal
lot" The various objections to the
system which have been raised, such
as the expense involved, the possible
advantage it might give to cities
over rural districts, the fears that in
some instances, there being mary
candidates for the same office, nom
ination might be decided by IA small
minority of the whole vote, Were pre-
sentcd by Mr.. LaFollette and shown
by fair argument to be really unim-
pcrtant in comparison to the good to
be hoped for from the abolition OF
our present corrupting caucus and
convention system.
