GAME DOGS AND GAME.
A Remarkable Instance of the Infiu-
cnce of Heredity.

cnce of Heredity.
The setter ate the mutton chop greed
lily. but he would have none of the par
fridge bones.
"A good game dog" said his master,
cant eat game. It's taste is repug-
nant to him. This is a remarkable in
stance of the influence of heredity.
Game dogs have been trained for
many generations not to eat the game
the birds and rabbits and what not
which they bring back to their masters
in their mouths. They have been train
ed to consider that the eating of such
game would be a disgrace and an un-
pardonable sin, the same as bank
clerks have been trained to consider
that the pOcketing of few dollars
from the millions they annually han
die would be disgrace and a sin.
"And the result in the game dogs
case has been that this moral abhor-
renee of game, suggested to them by
their masters. has been transmitted in
its passage down from one generation
to another, into an actual physical alb
horrence. In the matter of game.
thanks to heredity, game dogs now are
never tempted. They can't sin.
1T would be 4 good thing for policy
holders if, in the same way, mans
moral disinclination to steal had been
changed by heredity to an actual phys
lcal aversion of other peoples money"

the patient was sent to a ward to be cared
for The X-ray will be used upon him to-
day.
Friends of the wounded man said they
knew nothing of the circumstances under
which the shooting occurred. They found
Dorsey at Arlington Junction, Va, after
he had been shot. they said, and they as
sisted him to the hospital. Dorsey's home is
in Alexandra. He said he was shot by an
unidentified colored man as he was crossing
field CD his way to the electric car short
ly after dark. He was accoSted by the
stranger, he said, and as soon as they sep
arated the stranger began firing at him.
One bullet struck him, but he managed
to make his way to Arlington Junction.
The stranger, he said. shot at another man
near the same place last week.
Sheriff Palmer was notified of the shoot
ing and said he would make an investiga-
