This Dog is a

Then Goodwin went into business

guide his master from place to place.
Since he started he has never failed
for a 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

Mr.. Goodwin holds him by strap
that is fastened to the dogs collar, and
a 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
a street crossing by the manner in
which Rex ducks his head, giving the
strap 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 net
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

opportunity to give Rex short out

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

Memphis, Tenn.-Lost for twenty
four hours in bleak Mississippi
canebreak, and for over twelve hours
in a 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
pleasure outing trip" However. they
do not refer to their escapade in the
same happy phrasing, particularly
Lancaster, who was made q victim
because of his ignorance Of wood
craft. He is exhibiting to friends
myriads of mosquito bites. and en-
phatically 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
wooliness Of the region, carried along
in addition 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.
It 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 large lake in the
vicinity, which had been fixed upon
by all as good landmark.
For some time the ambitious nim-
rom obeyed instructions. but being
beckoned 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 were beginning to thicken, and
he was not entirely sure of his way.
The imp of the perverse changed his
course, and he began walking in a
circle. This maneuver he continued
until he came to a complete realiza-
ton of the situation.
To be lost in q Mississippi bottom

most stout-hearted rigors. Bears

Of the travelling. and his master. Miles
M. Goodwin, sells the goods. The
master is blind. but with the travelling
ability of Rex he is able to cover his
territory as he did before he lost his
sight. Rex is his masters eyes.
Goodwin lives at New Castle. near
here. and the story of his afliction is
a pathetic one. He was a handsome,
well-built young maH and popular
everywhere he went. He made friends
and was successful salesman. For
eleven years he sold clothing on the
road for an eastern firm. Then blind
ness came upon him. A few years ago
he was stricken with atrophy Of the
optic nerve and he lost his sight. He
spent years and large sums OF money
in trying to regain his vision, but 1t
