DOG FINDS LOST GOLF BALLS.
SnxzciOus Canine Companion of a
Greenskeeper Pays His
Owner We'll.

Dogs of the Scotch collie variety
are mighty useful on a farm, but it
is doubtful if a collie or any other
kind of dog was ever before in this
country put to the use that Green's
keeper Ronk, of the Broome County
County club, puts his big collie Jack
every night, says the New York Sun.
Jack served his apprenticeship on a
farm near here, and was regarded as
one of the best sheep and COW dogs
in the county. When Ronk took
charge of the golf links at the Coun-
try club he made it known in the
district round about that he wanted
a dog that was capable of learning
some new tricks. 1t wasn't very long
before the fame of Jack reached the
Country club, and after little ne
gotiation the collie became the prop
erty of the greenskeeper. Members
of the club wondered what Ronk
wanted of such fine animal, but
to ali their queries on the subject
Ronk was silent.
In addition to taking care of the
grounds Ronl1 does a little business
on the side, with club members, in
golf clubs and balls. Golf balls are
expensive. A good one costs IS cents.
1t is a stiff price, considering that
one is apt to lose a half dozen balls
in a. day. Every week between two
and six dozen balls are lost on the
grounds here, and once given up as
lost by its owner a ball becomes the
property of the first person who runs
across it. It was only a week after
Ronk got his new collie that the
greenskeeper announced that he had
for sale a number of secondhand
balls, many of them as good as new.
He asked only ten cents apiece for
them. The members gobbled them
mp in short order, and there has been
steady demand for Ronk's second
hand balls ever since. The green's
keeper kept the secret of the source
of his supply for some time, but it
finally got out that he had trained
the collie to go out on the course
at dusk each night after everybody
had quit playing golf for the day
and search for lost balls.
tsHe learned the trick mighty
quick" said Ronk the other day, "and
now don't even have to go out
with him. He starts out as soon
as I give him permission, and if I
don't call him off he'd keep it up
all night. He's enthusiastic over
searching for balls, and 7 never saw
anything like him fet finding then.

There has been son 4e anxiety among
politicians regardir g the probable po-
litical complexion of the new territory
now being open ed to settlement. This
seems to have been determined by the
discovery of a large number of illegi-
bic names in the registration, which
were thrown out. Slngularly enough
the names thrown out were nearly all
those of persons residing in Texas,
Arkansas and Indian Territory. These
districts are all democratic. The re-
suit is obvious. Republicans will out
number the opposition in the new
country.-State Journal.

If you will notice the republican
papers, there has begun a systematic
agitation all along the line for an in
crease of salaries. They have begun
on the diplomatic service, claiming
that at present our representatives to
foreign countries do not get enough
salary to enable them to live in the
princely style that the representatives
of nonarchial governments do. The
republican party evidently feels itself
strongly enough entrenched to carry
out any sort of program, and it is
the intention of the next congress to
increase salaries so that IN the Ian

One of the questions in the U. S.
constitution for the July examination
Of teachers asked for full descrip-
tion of the ceremonies of introducing
an American ambassador into a for
eign court. A great deal of fault was
found with the questions when Mr..
Stryker was state superintendent, but
the board at that time never asked
quite SO silly question as the num-
Der of bows and scrapeS, the length of
the swallow-tail coats, how far to
back out from the presence of royalty,
and the other ridiculous details of
medieval ceremonies practiced in the

The RniI,rnr nnn

Tt is matter of history that a shep-
herd dog was an important aid in oper-
ating the trains that ran on the first
railroad built in the territory of Wash
ington. When Dorsey S. Baker con-
structed a strap railroad from Wal
lula, on the Columbia river, to Walla
WaIla, the trading center of the inland
empire, horses and cattle covered the
Thousand hills" and blockaded the
valleys through which the pioneer line
ran. A dog was kept on the engine
to clear the track when brutes became
so numerous as to bring the train to
standstiII. There are many early
settlers living in the northwest who
tell the story of the usefulness of this
little shepherd dog in operating trains
on the DIR. Baker railroad. The dog
was used several years, and was
known by all the miners of Idaho and
Montana who Travelled that way.
While doing duty on the track in front
of the engine one day the faithful ami
NAL was run over.--Portland Oregon

The New York Journal in speaking
of Mr.. Bryan's remarks concerning
the Philadelphia franchise grab took
occasion to refer to the Nebraska
leader as a new convert to the gov
eminent ownership idea. Mr.. Bryan
replies in his Commoner, quoting from
his former writings and speeches, to
show that he is not a new convert to
that principle, but had advocated
municipal ownership always, and the
public ownership of railroads for some
years. This is another reason why
the organized trusts and railroad cor
porations fought him so strenously.

some hocuS-pocus operandi by which

idiotic idea that the common herd

The people of Hill City petitionedG
the board of railroad commissioners
to compel their road to give them bet
ter train service some time ago and
not getting any results they have al
most given up hope. This is how the
ReveilIe roasts the railroad and the
commissioners: 1.-THE "fast" Train
from the east arrived Tuesday morn
ing about Il hours late. This is get
ting to be quite fashionable with this
pretended railroad. 1t occurs to US,
that if our people sent in another Pc
tition, asking for better service that,
for being so naughty" the train will
discontinue business altogether. We
hope so, then an overland freight and
mail route will be established that
would be a credit to our fast develop
ing county. Better this, than the
miserable service now given US. For
shame on corporation that would
take advantage of people who voted
them S45, 900 bonds and have paid the
interest, expecting, as was promised,
good services in return. Corporations
should be honest with the people. If
not, the people, with their sovereign
rights, should take possession of the
railroads and operate them in the in
terest of themselves. Government
ownership is the only solution and
will come, corporation influence and
old party politicians to the contrary
