W.tLK4WAY MONEY.
Pcrquisite That Makes the Circus Ticket
Sellers Place Profitable.

@The best snap with any show is that Of
selling tickets said the veteran circus
man. Give me the walkaway money OF
any good sized show. and I care not who
get the big salaries.
The ~alkaway money is the varying PIE
OF coin that is left behind by the hasty men
who forget about having change coming
to them, and 1t amounts to many dollars
in the course Of month. With even the
smallest shows il amounts to considerable,
and with the big ones it will go as high

On nearly every occasion when SHOW

.'Fhe rakeof is perquisite OF the ticket

The West is the rich field for the ticke
seller. Out at Cripple Creek twenty-dos'
gold pieces are more plentiful than dollars
and there have been times in that region
when the walkaway money amounted 10

At a post near Hamilton Inlet not long
ago, the door of house in which an infant
was sleeping in a cradle had been left open
for a short time during the temporary alb
sence of the other members Of the family.
When the mother reentered the house she
found only the bones of her child. The
little one had been devoured by dogs.
The Labrador dogs are excessively quar-
relsome and, wolf-lke, always attack the
weaker, All seem anxious to take part in
the fray, and scarcely a season passes
without the settlers losing two or three
dogs during the summer, from wounds re-
ceived in quarrels. Peace is instantly re-
stored, even If twenty or more are en-
gagged in the ARRAY. by the sc und, or even
the sight, of the dreaded Esqu.u..Lx whip
used by the Labrador drivers.
These people have seldom succeeded in
raising any other domestic animal on the
coast; cats, cows and pigs have all been
destroyed by the dogs. II ever dog is
brought up with the family. in the house,
his doom Is sealed. At the first opportu
nifty his jealous companions will pounce
upon him in the absence OF his master
and worry him to death.
This is the invariable fate of any privileged
dog on the coast that is permitted to enter
his masters house and receive the caresses
Of the different members Of the family.
The preference excites the jealousy OF the
other dogs, and they patiently wait for an
opportunity to avenge themselves.
In the winter these animals will drag
a commetique, or sleigh, fifty or sixty miles
day over the snow. They haul wood from
the interior, carry supplies to the hunters
in the forests far back from the rocky and
desolate coasts; draw their masters from

QUEBEC, Sept. A.-Dogs trained to catch
fish are among the features OF everyday
life, on the barren shores Of that distant
part Of Labrador which belongs to New
foundlsnd.
The cod fisheries along the l,ioo miles Of
LAbrador's coast yield about one-fifth OF
Newfoundlands total catch and furnish
employment annually to thousands Of fisher
folk. They fish with lines from $50 to 200
fathons long, two men to boat and each
man using two handlines. The usual bait

OF the fishermen have trained dogs to as
sist them in catching fish.
The rapidity with which the fishermen
haul UP their long lines when they feel

face OF the sea, 1t comes to the top as COM

played by an angler until he can tail 1t with
his hand and 80 avoid the necessity of

It is one thing, however. to bring heavy
cod to the surface Of the water and quite
another to get it into the boat. Calls and
landing nets are unknown to these toilers
of the sea- II they can lift the fish into the
boat by the line all Is well; but this is often
where they fail
II the fish is large and but slightly hooked,
as is often the case, the hook breaks away
from its mouth when the attempt is made
to haul it from the water. The fish. still
quite inanimate in manner and in appear
ance floats away from the boat on the sur
face OF the waves.
This Ia only for a moment. however.
The fishers trained dog, often without
waiting for a signal from his master, leaps
over the gunwale of the boat, plunses into
the sea, swims after the floating fish and
seizee II in his mouth
Returning consciousness, fastened by
the new sensation Of being taken entirely
from the water and firmly gripped be-
tween the jaws Of its captor, often produces
lively struggles on the part Of the fish,
which add considerably to the difficulty

burden to the boat. The dog rarely re-
leases his hold upon his wriggling captive
until safe with It within the boat.
Sometimes these dogs have larger game

They are trained to plunge into the ice
cold waves in the spring Of the year and
to act as retrievers for their masters when
seal are shot from the shore on the surface
of the sea.
The dogs employed by the fishermen Of
Newfoundland and Labrador are by no
means the specimens Of canine intelligence
usually known az Newfoundland dogs.
