A GOOD HOUND.
Which Smelled It's Way Home Through a
Tomato Can.

Even a foxhound. whose business it is
to earn living by his nose, must have
remarkable powers of smell to find his
way five miles through the woods when
his head is stuck in tin can. At least,
that is the way Bert Whitman If Los
Angeles looks at it, and he is proud of
his dog Spark.
Spark went hunting recently with his
master. and when it became dark he was
still running crafty old fox up the side
of Pico mountain. There was no catch
ing the hound and no calling him off, so
Whitman left him to return home when
he got ready. Frequently he had packed
his gun down the mountain while the
hound was still believing on a hot scent,
aud he had no fear as to his showing up
in the night.
signs of Spark Whitman left the kitchen
door ajar, placed a big pan of mush and
soup bones on the floor. and went to bed.
Three hours later he was awakened by
a gathering in the kitchen, and moment
later the hound, with his head stuck into
a two-gallon milk can, waddled errau-
cally into the bedroom.
To say that the animals master was
surprised is putting it mildly. At first lie
was not sure that it was his dog ut
after he spoke Spark thumped his tail
and tried to climb into bed.
1t was necessary FOR MIN TO use can
opener to free the dog, and this took
some fifteen minutes. All this time Spark
stood perfectly STILL but the moment he
was released he made for his supper and
ate as if famished.
The animal probably frlnd the can
near some camp. for it was covered with
rust Doglike, he investigated the inte-
rior with hopes of finding food, and
could not remove his head He must
have found his way home through scent.
as it was impossible for him to see

THE ROBIN AS A BAROMETER.
Singing Foretells Rain in Summer, Fine
Weather in Winter.

Nobody has enjoyed this summer more
than the robin. 1t is now claimed for
him, as the most English of all our
native birds, that he is ahead even Of
Englishmen in his knowledge of English
weather.
Every one will have noticed how the
garden robin sings all the year round in
spite of rain and frost and snow. when
no other bird except the wren is bold
enough to keep him company A CORE
spondent carries this common observa-
ton point further by the discovery
that his particular robin sings not in
spite OF rain. but because rain is com
ing.
There is no reasonable loubt that this
is actually the case for part of the year.
Nearly all birds sing with extra gusto
both when rain is threatened and when
it is just over. but the robin has no
fellow in his absolute delight in foul
weather, the missed thrush excepted
This is partly because he is supreme as
an insect feeder, and insects are al
ways moved by the approach of rain.
Food is then plentiful near the ground.
from which the robin is never far re-
moved, and. unlike otler birds, he is
stirred to song much more by sheer
pleasure in living than by mere love emo
tions.
1t follows that in summer and autumn
the approach of rain can often be fore
told by the energy of the robins song.
and the jenny wren gives the same
warning. But in winter his song gener-
ally heralds fine weather. in the expert
ence of one observer at any rate. and
there seems TO be good reason for this
change of temper according TO the sea-
son. At any rate. it is subject worth
while the eountryman's observation, and
he will do well to take readings from the
robin as regularly as from his barome-
ter.-London Daily Mail.

PRINTERS AT HOT SPRINGS.
I. T. U. Has 573 Local Unions I'm the
United States.

Hot Springs, Ark, Aug. 12.-The
SD convention of the International
Typographical Union of North Amer
lea, which began here today, marks
an epoch in the "art preservative of
all arts" and commands the interest
of all who are either directly or in
directly connected with the arts and
industries of printing.
The report of ]. w. Bramwood, sec
retary-treasurer, showed that there
was received during the year ending
May 81, 1907, s1,S04,950, and that
there was expended $1,642,41. Ow-
ing to the long fight for the eight
hour day there was slight falling
eff in the membership during the
year. At present the international
organization embraces 573 local
unions, with a total membership Of
42,357. This is a decrease of 1928
members as compared with the fig
ures of the preceding year.

Barn and stock Burned.

Last Monday evening a serious fire
occurred at the Markham ranch in
milestone hollow when the big
Markham barn burned with its entire
contents. How the fire started is a
mystery, as no one had been near the
barn for several hours, but II is pre-
sumed that the harvest hands who
had been sleeping In 1t, had dropped
some matches, and the horses, which
were free within. had stepped on them
and set the straw afire.
The fire started about o'clock
Monday evening and within half an
hour the structure was reduced to
ashes, with its contents, about 40 tons
of hay and three fine race horses
were burned, one of which was val
ued at over $1,000, for he was offered
that sum for the animal less than a
month ago. In fact the owner had
arranged a match race in walla Wal
la this fall for $1,000, and 800 side
had been posted for the race. The
other two animals were very promis-
ing race animals, but young, and their
value is problematical.
The only ones near the barn when
the fire caught were the women at
the house, all the men folks being
out in the harvest field. and when
they were aware of the fire It was too
hot for them to do anything at all,
in fact 1t was with the most strenu-
Gus work that the other barn, about
IS feet away, was saved at all. The
total loss is estimated at about $2,-
500.' without a cent of Insurance.

ExtinguIsh Fires Set by Trains.

coal. Not that this at all unusual,
but that the company is a little
harder pressed than It has been. The
company is now using an especially
poor quality on the Palouse branch.

burning cinders along the tracks, not
withstanding the fact that close CRATES
are used on the engines. An en-
ploye is stationed at the rear Of each
train, whose duty 1t is to extinguish
fires lighted by the cinders. Tues
day afternoons train was stopped
eight times between La Crosse and
