A FAITHFUL SHEEP DOC.
Instances where She Proved More Faith
ful Than Her Masters.

Instances Where She Proved More Faith
ful Than Her Masters.
One night the herder brought in bis
fIocks and hurried to his cabin to cook
himself some supper. for he was more
than usually hungry. But lie missed
the dog, which usually followed him
to the cabin of all evening to have her
supper. The herder thought it rather
strange. but made no search for the
dog that night But When he went
down to the corrals the next morning
he found the gate open and the faith
ful dog standing guard over the tiocks.
The herder in his haste the night be-
fore had forgotten to close the gate,
and the dog, more faithful than her
master, had remained Mt her post all
night, though suffering from hunger
and thirst.
On another occasion this same dog
was left to watch flock Of sheep near
the herder's cabin while the herder
got his supper. After lie had eaten
his supper be went out to where the
sheep were and told the dog to put the
sheep in the corral. This she refused
to do. and. although she had no supper.
she started off over the prairie as fast
as she could go. The herder put the
sheep in the corral and went to bed.
About midnight he was awakened by
the loud barking of a dog down by the
corrals. He got up, dressed himself
and went down to the corrals, and
there found the dog with band OF
about fifty sheep. which had strayed
off during the previous day without
the herder's knowledge; but the poor
dog knew it, and also knew that they
ought to be corralled, and she did it.
Another good story of this same dog:
One day she was sent out with a new
herder to an outlying ranch, some fif-
teen miles distant That night she
came home and by her actions told ms
that there was something wrong at the
ranch. Well, we mounted our 5roncos
and went over to the ranch. and very
soon found out what the matter was
The new herder was simply tramp
who. as soon rs lie had got good
feed, had lit out aud left the sheep
uncared for, save by his more faithful
companion, the dog.-Denver Post.

The current number of La Revue Of
Paris contains an article by NJ. Anatole
Leroy -Beaulieu. the eminent authority
on Slavonic laws and culture and
friend of the Car and Russian people,
but not Of the Russian institution. He
declares that with the support of his
people the Car need fear neither the
censure Of the institution nor the re-
proaches Of history should he take the
initiative in bringing about peace with
Japan, and he continues:
"Should Russia feel natural re-
pugnance at seeming to recoil before
the perils and sufferings of war, it
would suffice for her to have recourse
to the good offices, if not to the media
tion, OF the powers. France and Eng
land, one as the ally of Russia and the
other as the ally Of Japan, are natural
ly designated for tile initiative in these
negotiations, while Germany and the
United States would ask no better than
to join them. Japan could not main
tain inadmissable demands in presence

That is peculiar situation in New
Hampshire where the people of the
southern counties have for several
years been protecting deer that the
ravine might once again be stocked
as in the days Of old; and now that
they have established deer supply
they are in a quandary as to what
they shall do with them, says Forest

continued, the deer, already numerous,
will come to be depredating nuisance.
If an open season should be provided,
the hunting country, which is also d
