How a Professor Took a Tonic Recon-

State University, and who was called re-
Gently to the presidency of the Mining
College. at Butte. Mont. Senator Clark
says that though Montana is somewhat
out OF the circle OF prohibition infiu-

Not long ago Prof. Leonard, feeling in
disposed, consulted his physician, Ger
man. very scientific. and acknowledged as
one OF the leading men in his profession
in Montana. The doctor advised Mr..
Leonard to work less at the desk, exer-
else more outdoors, and take beer as a
tonic.
The professors labors were such that
he felt that he could not devote fewer
hours TO them. but he concluded at least
to try some beer. which he had never
before tasted. He did not approve of it
as beverage, but as medicine he felt
justified in taking it. especially on the
recommendation OF SO eminent a practi-
TONER.
The doctor met his patient a few days
later as he was leaving the college and
stopped to enquire how he was feeling.

Pretty soon he was in a daZe. He had

sat down beside him and asked If he could

''If you understand anything about this
sort of rubbish, yes; don't know what is
worthless and what is not" For more
than an hour after the sale ended this

AVERAGE AGE OF DOGS.
Probably About Ten Years, Although
Many Live Much Longer.

The age to which dog lives in the or
! binary course is always a somewhat in
! teresting subject, especially at the pres
ent time, when so much is done in the
way of breeding for early maturity For
| instance, we have both collies and fox
| terriers becoming bench champions be-
fore they are well out of their puppy
hood, but it is sad to say that in a ma
jority of such cases the overshown dog
afterward rapidly degenerates or dies an
eearly death.
correspondent writes TO the Field"
of the death of his fox terrier at the ad-
vanced age OF eighteen years, having
been born in 1884. He was either a son
or grandson of Brokenhurst Jose his
late owner does not know which. This is
no doubt case of unusual longevity; but
instances of dogs living to fourteen and
fifteen years are common. Dr. Leeney
recorded the death Of dog OF Lord Ogil-
vie at twentythree years old. it arising
from an accident; while MIR. W. L. Little
Geach about the same time mentioned
two OF his own dogs. one of which was
then living, hard on 10 twenty years old
the other had died when Just over that
age.
The we1l-known fox terrier, Belcraye
Joe, was born July 81. 1868. and died jan
uary l3, 1883, while another aged terrier
was one of working stamp which came
from George Carter, of the BedaIe born
In January, 1880. and died February l3
1900. In several of the above well-au-
thenticatcd cases OF longevity death either
arose from accident or was brought about
by the owner owing TO the growing feeble
