POLICE DOGS IN GHENT.

Animals Taught to Hunt MaIefactors
and Do Other Police Duties.
The dog plays a prominent part all
over Belgium as the poor mans horse,
drawing milk carts, vegetable wagons,
and even the shay" that carries his
Modern Culture, the dog has been har-
messed to the law also, and serves so
efficiently as policeman that crime in
the district he patrols is said to have
been diminished by two-thirds.
By means of dummies, made up to
resemble as much as possible the dan
gerous characters that might be met,
the dogs are taught to seek, to attack,
to seize and to hold without hurting
seriously. The first step is to place the
dummy in such position that it shall
represent man endeavOring TO conceal
himself
The dog soons understands that it is
an enemy whom he must hunt and en-
ters into this part of his lesson con
amore. Then the teacher lowers the
figure to the ground, and the dog
learns that although he may not worry
his prey, he must not allow his fallen
foe to stir so much as a finger until the
order is given.
After the dummy, living model Is
used and as this process is not without
danger, the person chosen for this pur-

the pupils creature comforts, and for
whom the canine detective Is sure to
entertain grateful affection Never
theless the dog is prevented at first, by
means of a muzzle, from an exhibition
of too much zeal.
Afterward the experiment Is tried on
other members of the force, and in four
months the dogs education as police
man is considered complete, and he
takes his place with therest.
The animals are also taught to swim,
and to seize their prey in the water; to
save life from drowning; to scale walls
and overcome other obstacles so that
any enterprising burglar who goes
"a-burgling" in Client has lively time
of it if he meets with one of these four
footed "bobbies"
The dogs work so well and so con-
scientiously that their number is to be
increased, and there is every probabil-
ity that the plan will be adopted in 9TH
er Belgium centers. Their keep comes
to only about 6 cents a day each, and
altogether they cost the town less than
$500 q year.

still more unexpectedly, in the best

THE AVERAGE NAN.

What a delightful person he is,
the average man, and how the
heart goes out to HIM in special
gratitude now and again. He has
never written a magazine article,
sunk a warship, discussed polit-
ical or economical situation in the
peoples column of his paper or
made stump speeches; ne never
preached a man into heaven nor
tempted him into the roads that
lead to the other place; he loves
his wife and his children, works
for his daily bread and enjoys it !;
probably has his little personal
sins and personal hobbies, but
doesn t infiict them on you. He
doesn't make many demonstla-
tions of friendship but is mighty
good to fellow who is down on
his luck; he quietly pays his
church dues and the subscription
for his town paper; he ism t q
hero, but he is the heart and life
ard backbone of America TODAY.
the man whose honest manhood
makes possible the best that there
is III our great republic.

IMPARTIAL NATURE,

Some few years ago droughts ex-
tended over the entire west for so
long q time as to produce great
suffering and almost financial
ruin in that section. During the
same period the south enjoyed I'M
usually fine seasons for crops
with the result that southern far
mers experienced years of great
prosperity. This year nature has
turned the scales giving the west
the good rains and fine crops and
the south droughts and crop fail
ures. Turn about is fair play"
but it is very hard to maintain a
a philosophic mind under the
operation of the rule.

THREE BLIND MICE
And One That Seems.to Be All Eyes
 and Ears.

Jailor J. A. Hill of the city police force. who is eXoficio director general of the chain gang, received the shock of his life yesterday. While there was no one else around, one of the three prisoners held Saturday for Vagrancy and who will be tried later. perhaps 10! burglary, asked the jailor for a confl- dential conversation with him and it was granted. He then unfolded to the officer a plan by which himself and pals were to be taken out to work this morning on the chain gang, ending by asking the jailOr how big a piece of money. and the necessary color O. it, would induce him to be look ing up the street while they were run ming down the street. MT. Hill was not only shocked but grossly insulted by the proposition and replied by ask ing the prisoner if he, MT. Hill, in any way reminded him of a St. Louis alder man.
 Incidentally this little bad break Is only one more count against the sus- poets and shows more clearly than. BVe, that these men have some mighty good reason for wanting to get out of jail, other than escape from few days ser vice with the pick and shovel. The police have not yet decided that they are good men to trust with even a pick and shovel.
 The police are naturally very anxious to locate the pal of the three men in jail, whom they know to be keeping n eye on the situation from the outside He is fully aware that they would like to know him and is taking good care not to give himself away. Neverthe- less he is playing q bold game ana rather an interesting one. One thing certain is that he feels for his friends in their trouble and is determined to make jail life as pleasant as possible. Saturday night he left at a package delivery office, or caused to be left a package 10 be delivered by the messen- ger to the boys in Jail. It came promt;y and contained a pound of Star chewing tobacco and ten sacks of smoking ,u- bacco together with some other small iuxuries. While the police were en- gagged yesterday in trying to trace this package back to its origin, another package arrived containing a quantity of sugar and a pound and half or coffee. Taking up the trail of the latest package they left the office alone for few minutes and when they re- turned on the marshal's desk there was found big roll of illustrated papers and magazines addressed to George Monroe, one of the prisoners This outside man seems to have a sort of an that is suggestive Of spOOks.
