Dogs, especially settlers, pointers
and other hunting animals. as well as
fierce and unruly ones, need to bel
kept chained most Of the time. the
hunting dogs to prevent them from
straying away, generally at night, and
others from annoying or endangering
the safety of people coming on the
premises. To keep dogs on chain
constantly, preventing them from get
and prejudicial to their health. and 1t
also serves to make a cross dog SO
much more unruly and dangerous as
frequently to necessitate having him
killed. There is practical and easily
constructed method of overcoming the
difficulty and still restraining the dog
of his liberty.
A stout post is securely planted
alongside Of the doghouse having
about Is inches of II above ground.
Another post Is then securely planted
about 100 feet distant and stout tele-
graph wire stretched taut between the
two posts and securely fastened. The
chain is attached to the wire with
sliding ring and the other end to the
collar on the dog. The dog soon gets
to understand the arrangement and
will soon have a pathway worn along
the entire length of the wire on both
sides in his scampers.
To prevent fouling Of the chain at
the far post attach a support, which
will enable the chain to slip over and
into place readily.
The location of the wire run can be
so arranged as to permit the dog to
guard both the front. side or back of
the dwelling, as well as the gate,
though much over 100 feet will make
II difficult to make and keep the wire
from sagging under the strain OF
good-sized dog.

Amos Wilder's speech at the Yale
alumni dinner in New York was SO
good that the Alumni Weekly pub
lished 1t in full, and everybody en-
thused over 1t. A certain Yale editor,
In another part of the country, found
in the speech one sentence which he
thought just the thing to quote in an
editorial he was writing on the need
of care in framing Insurance legisla-
tion. This was the sentence: The in
surance agent who sees in placing a
policy not only the premium for his
own needs and desires, but protection
for a sobbing widow and frightened
children as for the first time they see
their father helpless In death and the
lips, once so rich In endearments, now
set in the terrible marble OF great
mystery-that agent looks his man in
the eye and speaks in the language Of
another world" The editor was mas

FABULOUS INDIAN LEGEND.
Grandfather of All Mosquitoes Ap- peased His Appetite with a
 Redman or Two

There are pretty big mosquitoes in the world, but if report be true they have greatly degenerated in size and strength since the days when this le- gend was believed by many tribes of Indians
 The grandfather of all mosquitoes lived in the neighborhood of Onon- daga. N Y. When he grew hungry he would sally forth and eat an Indian or two and pick his teeth with their ribs. The Indians had no arms that would prevail against this monster, so they called upon the Holder of Heavens to come down. Finding that he had met his match in this person the mos quito flew eastward. sought help from the witches that inhabited the Green lake. and had reached Lake Onongaga when his pursuer came up and killed him.
 As his blood poured forth on the sand each drop became a smaller mos quito. They gathered about the Hold CT of the Heavens and stung him so cruelty that he half repented the ser vice he had rendered to the Indians
 The Tusearoras say that two of the mosquitoes stood on opposite sides of the Seneca river and slew all who passed. Hiawatha killed them A reservation stone marks the place where the Holder rested during his chase. and tracks were until ls.ely seen south of Syracuse alternated with the footprints of the mosquito These footprints were shaped like those of a bird. and were 20 inches long. These marks were revered by the Indians for many years.

German Patent Office Faults

The German patent office comes in for much censure. One would suppose such an insiitution to exact no more of inventors than. is needed to pay current expenses, but in reality the charges are so high that the state pockets half the income as profit. It is pointed out that for poor inventors matters are almost as bad as they were when Gutenberg. after inventing the art of printing, lived in poverty and finally had to pawn his apparatus.
