ular gamecocks. The hawk was using
its bcak and talons with telling effect,
while the rooster was trying to make

Bennefeld picked up the rooster and
started to the house with it, but it
died in her arms.

brief intervals to the premises, appar-
emily for no other purpose than to seek

TRUE TO HIS TRAINING.
Lost Dog Performer Goes Through His
Programme Daily.

Florence, January 7.-(Special.)- 1.-The
Rev. ]. o. A. Pace. collector for local
paper tells a wonderful story of canine
the county. The dog in question was, prior
to three months ago, a member of 1.-The
profession" and was left for dead about
ten miles north of Florence after 1t had
fallen from the wagon of a trained ami
NAL show and been run over by two
wheels.
The dog. with its back apparently
and after few weeks had entirely recov-
cred. Then commenced the remarkable
part of the story. Every day, at precisely
the same hour, morning and afternoon,
the dog commences and goes through
regular programme. starting with running
around In circle, jumping through an
imaginary hoop and going through many
other movements, which without the cir
Gus paraphernalia are unintelligible
The dog is overjoyed at the sight of
group of children, and can scarcely be
restrained from going with them. At other
times it displays the greatest detection
and is evidently pining for it's professional
career. 1t is large white dog resembling
more than anything else an English bull,
but to the language usually addressed to
dogs, turns deaf ear.
Mansfield or a Bernhard suddenly
removed from the environment of the the
atre and the applause they so dearly love,
could not more clearly manifest their grief
than does this poor little actor, though
only a dog
