to the writer. This is our first sight
Of cattle, horses and sheep coming.
off the winter range fat and fine with
out having had any feed OF roughness.
Some OF the cattle we have seen are
about as fat now as South Dakota,
Iowa and Nebraska cattle that have
spent three or four months in the
feed lot. The losses during the past
winter have been so slight as not to
be matter of computation. No

Met His Old captors.

David Hilderly. n substantial citizen
of Tampa, Fla, made his first visit
to the south 40 years ago in the del
egation from Indiana sent down on
United States business, says the Ma
tional Tribune. While he and seven
comrades were guarding n supply
train over the Cumberland mountains,
Joe Wheeler swooped down upon
them, captured their train, piled the
wagons up. set fire to them, took the
soldiers into the woods. changed
clothes with them, and told them to
get for home as fast the the Lord
would let them. Within "a hours
Comrade Hilderly and his compan-
ions were In blue clothes again, with
muskets in their hands. While on a
visit to Brandy town, Fla, Comrade
Hilderly met the Identical raider who
took his hat and boots and drove
away the best pair Of mules. The
two old-time enemies had q plseAAnt
Hme together.

This Dog is a
Cigar Salesman.

Then Goodwin went into business
at his home town. starting a cigar
jobbfng house under the firm of Good.
win Ollie. Goodwin longed to be
on the road again for his own house and
one day he had an inspiration as he
observed the intelligence displayed
by his dog Rex, then pup. The ex-
pertinent was tried and 1t proved sue.
cessful. but Rex was quick to learn,
and 1t was not long before he under.
stood that 1t was to be his work to
guide his master from place to place.
Since he started he has never failed
for single day to do his duty. When
he first made his trips with the dog
Goodwin had to inquire his way to
the places he wished to visit, but
when once there he introduced Rex,
and Rex never forgot.
He now knows :"all the trade" in
the various towns the pair make"
and the customers always have a cor
dial welcome for the interesting sales
man.
Rex never makes any mistakes. He
takes his master directly to where he
wishes to go and loses no time in do.
ing so. When they are through with
town he leads the way to the proper
railway station.
Mr.. Goodwin holds him by a strap
that Is fastened to the dogs collar, and
code of signals has come to be un.
derstood by them, so that each knows
the meaning of every movement of the
other. Goodwin can tell when he Is at
street crossing by the manner in
which Rex ducks his head, giving the
strap a slight jerk.
Rex guides his master across the
street safely, no matter how crowded
1t may be. and steers him clear OF
street cars, automobiles and buggjes.
Master and dog have never yet I,et
with an accident.
In violation OF all rules Rex rides in
the coaches OF all trains and inter.
urban cars in Indiana. for he Is known
to all the railroad folk, and all con.
ductors have strict orders to carry the
dog.
Rex Is Gordon setter and is
handsome animal. Even though he has
the intelligence of n man and deyotes
the most OF his time to doing a mans
work he is still dog. and when the
occasion offers delights In doing some
of the things that 1t Is peculiarly and
particularly proper for dog to do,
such as running n rabbit.
One day recently Mr.. Goodwin was
waiting to change cars at n little com.
try station. He took advantage of the
opportunity to give Rex short out.
ing. and. releasing the dog from his
strap. Rex was soon having the time of
his life In n field some distance away.
AS time for the train to arrive ap.
preached Rex was still busy. and
finally Goodwin had to send some men
after him, and the travelling salesGog
barely returned TO his master in time
to catch the train.

YOUNG HUNTER SPENDS
NIGHT IN WILLOW TREE
Memphis Youth Is Lost In Mississippi
Cane Bottoms and Has Terrify-
ing Time.

Memphis. Tenn.-Lost for twenty
four hours In bleak Mississippi
canebreak. and for over twelve hours
in n tree seeking safety from numer-
Gus wild beasts which besieged him.
Bert Lancaster. OF Memphis. had an
experience which he is not likely to
forget.
Lancaster. together with a compan-
ion, Billy Shea. recently returned
from what is commonly termed a
pleasure outing trip" However. they
do not refer to their escapade in the
same happy phrasing, particularly
Lancaster. who was made victim
because of his ignorance of wood
craft. He is exhibiting TO friends
myriads of mosquito bites, and en-
phatlcally discouraging hunting in
the land made famous by President
Roosevelt few years ago.
Lancaster and Shea sought the
Mississippi canebrake for several
days pleasure in hunting and fishing,
and incidentally to recuperate from the
stern realities of business. They went
with all the necessary paraphernalia.
and, because of the wildness and
woollness of the region, carried along
in addition a guide. Camp was pitched
they were fairly successful hunting
and fishing. and everything went
along smooth until the fourth cay
rolled around and completely altered
all their plans.
II was late in the afternoon OF that
day when Bert Lancaster decided to
go squirrel hunting. Accompanied by
his guide. Lancaster walked about
three miles from the camp, when the
guide left him, after admonishing him
to keep close to a large lake In the
vicinity, which had been fixed upon
by all as good landmark.
For some time the ambitious MIN.
rom obeyed instructions. but being
bcckoned on by good luck. and bag
ging many squirrels. he went further
from the lake than he intended. When
he started to return the shades OF
night we're beginning to thicken. and
he was not entirely sure OF his way.
The imp of the perverse changed MS
course, and he began walking In
circle. This maneuver he continued
until he came to a complete realiza-
tion Of the situation.
To be lost in q Mississippi bottom

most stout-hearted rigors. Bears
