1t is generally believed that the

reforms, planned and carried out the
massacres. Connivance of the police
has been proven absolutely. The day
preceding the outbreak the governor
dissolved the militia, withdrew the
troops and refused assistance, giving
as a pretext their inability to deal with
the situatitIor.
The CossacKs had been supplied with
the names of the Jews and the num-

the Jews were murdered while the

An Intelligent Dog.

A story is told illustrative of the
intelligence of the Scotch shepherd
dog, the collie. A purpose on the
part of the master was to prove the
value of his dog. He was lying be-
fore the fire in the house, where, with
the family present, conversation was
proceeding. In the middle of SEN
tence concerning something else, the
master said: "Tm thinking, sir, the
cow is in the potatoes"
The account goes on to tell that
"the dog, which appeared to be
asleep, Immediately jumped up, and,
leaping through the open window,
scrambled up the roof of the house,
where he could see the potato field.
"He then, not seeing the COW, ran
and looked into the byre, where she
was, and finding that all was right,
came back to the house.
"The owner, shepherd, said again
what he did at the outset, when the
dog once more made his patrol. But
when third attempt was made, the
dog got up, looked full at his master,
who laughed. Then the sensible
animal gave little friendly growl
and curled up by the fire."
