SOME TRUE DOG STORIES.
One Shaggy Little Canine Saved q
Train and Big st. Bernard
Rescued Miner.

Twenty-Five dollars for a dog collar
seems like a waste of money but there
is shaggy little canine out in Colora-
do who earned a collar costing that
amount, and SO long as he earned it
himself nobody need care. 1t was this
way. One stormy night, a few months
ago, the dogs master was aroused ia
the middle of the night by a furious
barking, and, upon investigating, dis
covered that burning bridge on the
railroad near by was the cause of the
disturbance. Back and forth from the
house to the bridge and from the
bridge to the house the excited dog
ran, becoming quoted only when his
master dressed and visited the scene
of the fire, which he did just in time
to flag a long freight train. thus saving
it from destruction. For his wise act
in saving the train $25 was sent to
doggie's owner, and the entire amount
was spent on the fine collar which be
now wears.
Prince Leo, monster ST. Bernard
living in the Arkansas range of Colo
RADIO, is another wonderful dog. So
many wonderful things has Prince
Leo accomplished that his master
lately refused an offer of $4,000 for
him. One Of this dogs remarkable
acts occurred during blizzard in Feb
ruary, near the Little Louisa mine. A
workman had been sent some distance
for can of machine oil, but the storm
increased with such fury that the man
was unable to return, wandering about
the mountain side in a daZed condi-
ton, until finally, exhausted, he fell
and lost consciousness. Alarmed az
the workman's prolonged absence,

ing one. Hours passed The storm
increased until an awful bowling hur-
ricane with sleet and snow swept
every foot of the mountains and can
yons, and all hope for the return of
either the man or the brave dog was
abandoned. However, at nine o'clock
that night Prince Leo's barking was
heard at the mine cabin door, where
he was found with his unconscious
burden. Once inside the cabin the
faithful beast refused to allow anyone
to touch his charge until he had sue
ceeded in licking the sufferer back to
consciousness.
And here's the story of a common,
big, yellow dog, who has lately been
arrested. 1t is so-arrested by the
Mexican authorities charged with be-
ing a smuggler! This dogs owner, a
cunning Mexican, has for months
used the animal in evading the Gus
toms laws by tying to the dogs neck
a basket in which contraband goods
were placed. The canine was taught
to sneak with his load through the
river boskets and across the border
the alert eyes of the government rid
ers who patrol the line. At last, how
ever, the animal was captured with
evidence of guilt in his basket, and
now he is in prison with his master.
Poor fellow! He only did what he
thought was his duty, but the law is
strict as TO smugglers, and no doubt
this dog will be severely punished.
What child living in the cities is
there, asks the Chicago Record Her
aid, who does not despise the dog
catcher? Well, the other day one of
these miserable dog-catchers took
from the door of poor family their
sole guardian and comfort, Zip, the
children's playmate, and dragged him
off to the pound, where he was to be
killed just because his owners were
too poor to purchase a tag for him
Pleadings at the pound availed not
but an officer of the Humane society
heard of the occurrence. and after
looking into the matter and finding
that Zip was really useful as a watch
dog, interceded with the mayor, and
in consequence carried to the pound
keeper, much to the chiTdren's glee,
regular pardon for their companion,
who trotted home happy, bearing in
his mouth a huge bone which the off,

lrHE RATTLEsNAkE's BITE.
Matter in Which Backwoods Ira.
dition Triumphs Over Scien-
tific Research

Now and then science confirms some
of the old-wife medical superstitions Of
the backwoods, says the New York Sun.
For instance, the .'yarb'' doctors and
old women of rattlesnake regions SAP
that when man gets over rattlesnake
bite he has trouble in the wound every
year afterward.
Pathologists and toxicologists who
have studied snake poison agree that
this is true, only the trouble doesn't nee
essarily occur every year. 1t happens
whenever the system gets out of or
Ter.
The explanation is simple. Snake poi
son has the effect of destroying tissue.
Of course, it has the strongest effect
in and about the wound where the poi
son, in its course through the veins, has
not yet been diluted by the blood
Ever afterward that is a weak point
in the system. Any little disturbance
in the blood tends to break out at the
point of the wound.
When this happens the old wives say
that it is the poison working 1t is not,
of course 1t is only the excess poison
of the body working in the weak spot
There was case of this kind with
rather unusual history in Colorado
hospital few years ago. The patient
was scout who had helped the army
make way for civilization in the Rock
les
The Utes, Arapahoes and other Indi-
| ans of that region were mostly unsup-
piled with guns in those days, but they
had most effective kind of poisoned
arrow. They would catch a bunch of
rattlesnakes, and taking fresh buffalo
liver would make the serpents strike in
it until their poison glands were ex-
hausted and the meat fairly reeked with
venom
After that they would leave the live:
in the sun until it became putrid Into
this they would dip their war arrows.
It made a nasty poison.
With such an arrow the scout was
struck in the leg. It carried, of course,
| not only snake venom, but all kinds OF
possibilities of blood poisoning By
good luck f1rst-rate army surgeon was

The physicians went into the life his

before he stopped the poisoned arrow he

every spring. He was one of those peo-
pie who load up on animal diet all win
ter and need cleaning out when the
season breaks. 1t had merely settled in
the weak spot. Next year he attended
| to his liver early and had no further

In the treatment of rattlesnake bites
the rough and ready physicians Ct the
backwoods scored again on the modern
scientist. In spite of analysis and la
borious experiments and government
prizes, the treatment discovered by the
pioneers when New York was a wilder
