THE DEVOTION OF DOGS.
Vigil of the Little Brown Spaniel The Dog That Saved The Log
 gers Life.

 | spaniel, looking through the tron-barreo door of the city jail cell, was the disem- bodied spirit of an Indian chieftain, so stoical he was, but there was as much | in the brown spaniefs eyes as though he were a mother who had lost her only child, says The Los Angeles Times. The other night the spaniel saw big uniformed man take his master by the master was a dirty, drunken fellow, whose i'll fortune the dog had followed | up and down the muddy streets and into saloons. The dog saw the big man lean l his little shrinking master up against a telegraph pole and do something with box.
 | His tail was wagging as he followed | the patrol wagon to the police station, because he could see his master lolling on l the seat.
 l He watched the officers search his be- loved. and then the door of the jail open | ed and shut, and the brown spaniel was | alone. His miserable master, glorified being to him, was already deep in drunken slumber.
 | If there had been as much eloquence l in the spaniefs tongue as there was in his eyes he probably would have deliv- cred a philippic against the uncompro- | missing man with the jail keys, but he | only used his eyes. great brown, unblink- | ing eyes that tried to penetrate beyond | the mysteries of the second floor, where l the one form in all the world to him l
 At midnight an hour later, the brown spaniel was still at the door, peering through the bars; there was nothing | plaintive in his expression or attitude, but noble sort of grief that showed itself in the fine boise of his head. It l said as plainly as words: You have shamed me before. but l won't desert | you"
 For three hours the spaniel scarcely 1 moved. A drunk would be admitted occa- | 9iOnaltY he would just turn his eyes for an in- stant. Babe the station dog. a sym pathetic little lady, regarded the brown spaniel anxiously. She knew what the | trouble was evidently, and poked com forting nose against the others curly ear in comprehending way. But 1t was | of no use.
 At daylight the next morning the spaniel drew himself up from his vigil by the door, gave long, pitiful look through the dimIy lighted room and walk ed dtsconsolately through the front door of the station.
 Moose That Tanned Herself.
 Kineo has special attraction just now makes herself thoroughly at home on the hotel lawns, eyeing spectators mildly or chewing her cud in the sun with evident satisfaction, says The Boston Herald. | Early in October the COW put in an appearance in the vicinity of the camps of the Nighthawk Club, at Sugar Island, and very soon ma infested decided tend ency to make friends with the club men. She soon became so tame as to eat out of the hands of her friends.
 When 1t came time to close the camps the members thought of the COW moose. They telephoned to Manager c. A. Jud- kins, of the Mount Kineo House. asking him if he would take her to Kineo. He did, and since that time she has roamed at will close to the hotel, evidently thor oughly at home.
 She enjoys the fresh green grass of the lawns, watches the hustle of life here with apparent interest, poses willingly for amateur photographers and, in fact, is most oblging and congental guest. The intention now is to keep her here as a permanent attraction. It Is be- lieved that this Is the only instance on record where wild moose has been tanned in this way.
 A Momentous Question.
 John Clinton and Aleclx Smith recently had a discussion which has involved a considerable per cent of the town" says The Atchison Globe. The question is whether a dog with a bob-tail can walk log. Clinton has a bob-tailed dog and claims that 1t can walk a log for any amount of money Smith wants to put up. Clinton is willing to go further, John Flynn. marshall of the City Court has bob-tailed dog and Clinton says he Is willing to bet that Flynn's dog can walk a log, too. Smiths contention is that a dog, in order to walk log. must have a balance, and that the tail is the bal ance pole which maintains the equii- brium Smith is upheld In his contention by Isaac Shook, colored veteran of the war, who has had many years of ex- perience."
 Saved His Masters Life. damned between two logs on an un- sheltered trail exposed to the elements for two nights and two days, without food and without companionship, save that of faithful dog, was the terrible position from which Robert Brownlee, of Vancouver. B. C., was extrcated, says The Chicago Chronicle.
 | Brownlee. who Is a logger employed by the Hastings Mill. at Bear River camp , arrived in the city this morning on the
 steamer Cassiar. On Sunday afternoon last, with two companions, he set out
 from Rock Bay to walk to Bear River
 a distance of about ten miles by the trail
 On the way Brownlee, thinking to take ] short cut branched off on a side line from the main trail, his companions still ) continuing their Journey on 1t. } When Brownlees friends reached Bear River late Sunday afternoon they found z that he had not arrived. On Monday l morning nothing had been heard of the l missing man. On Tuesday morning il was decided that the whole camp should l take to the woods and look for Brownlee and accordingly some sixty men set out The search had progressed for two ol l three hours without any satisfactory re l suit when several of the men happened across the dog which had accompanied l RTOWnlaa when @ t0oL the short Cl
