Army Drums Hauled by Dogs.

A curious feature connected with the
Servian army is the manner in which
most of the regiments carry the big
drum. It is not, as in most countries,
slung in front of the man who plays
it, but Is placed upon a small two
wheeled cart drawn by single dog,
which has been so trained that it keeps
its place even through the longest and
most tedious of marches. The drum
mer takes up position behind the cart
and performs on the instrument as the
animal pulls 1t along.
