Dou That Climbed a Tree.

Can a dog climb a tree? A CORE
spondent writes: "While on a walk on
snowshoes in New Hampshire we
tracked a porcupine to a balsam fir,
in which it had taken refuge, My
Scottish terrier climbed the tree, pull
ing herself up from branch to branch
to height of about seven feet, where
space Of bare trunk separated her
from the porcupine, which had watched
her progress with evident alarm. The
terrier made several Intellectual at
tempts to scale the smooth bark and
finally jumped down into the snow"
And of another curious trait the same
writer continues: "This little dog and
her mate, now dead, though enthusi-
astic fire worshipers at home, never sat
near the bonfires built at luncheon OF
tea time on winter walks, but dug
holes in the snow at little distance,
in which they curled themselves up
after the manner of their primitive an
cestors. "-Chicago News.

ROADS TO HAVE TRIBUNAL.
New Standing Committee Planned by
Western Lines

Western railroads are contemplating
the formation of a new standing COM
mittee, the members of which would
have power to conclude agreements.
Many executive meetings of railroad
officers have been devoid of result be-
cause of the absence of the representa-
tive of some interested road which did
not want to commit itself upon the
question under consideration. The re-
suit has been that the executives have
lost a great deal of time in fruitless
effort.
To get results and stop future eff
forts to avoid being on record, a
meeting of executives of all the west
ern lines has been called for next week
to consider the forming of the pro-
posed standing committee, composed
of one representative of each road, the
sessions to be continuous
The duty of the committee will be to
consider all questions of an executive
nature. This means that all the roads
must have one man whose sole duty
will be to attend meetings of the COM
mittee. He will be in close touch with
the heads of all departments. In other
words this proposition means the
creation of a new executive official.
