Major Has Human Sense

The faithfulness and reasoning pow CTS of the canine family is attested by a story ot the recent fire which burned to the ground the headquarters of the de- tachment of soldiers stationed at Fort William Fl. Seward. Private Quinn, of Company M, Eighth infantry, says he owes his life on that occasion to Major, a handsome dog, the property of Capt, Moog, of the Peterson. Quinn was awakened from a sound sleep by old Major tugging at his shirt, and arm, and hair, who was vigorously barking the meanwhile. The man and dog had just time to escape unharmed from the burning building. Major had been attracted to the house by the fire, and entered it, apparently, strictly on a life saving mission.
