WITH THE
A Travelling Dog

7 HE wonderful sagacity of the
! Scotch collie is universally known
and admired. When travelling through
Scotland, the home of the collie. one is
continually coming across large flocks
of sheep and droves of cattle that are
being efficiently herded by one of these
intelligent dogs.
Miss Ethel Schewe, a little girl who
lives at Manistee, Mich, is the happy
owner of an exceptionally intelligent
collie, who not only herds stock, but
travels on the railroad trains from one
town to another, changing cars cor
rectly at the proper station. This dog
drives large herds of stock from Scott
willie to Manistee, a distance of 20 miles,
without any help. He does not, how
ever, walk to Scottville after the stock,
but rides on the cars, boarding the
train at Manistee and changing cars at
WalhaIla, and when he arrives st Scott
VILE he goes directly to the home OF
the buyer of the stock. He has made
but one mistake in changing cars, and
this he discovered In time to jump on
again before the train pulled out. The
train had stopped a short ways from
the junction, and the collie seemed to
think that that was the place to
change As soon as he saw his error
he FASTENED back to the train, grabbed
a rope that was hanging down from the
baggage room and pulled himself up
to the baggage car by the teeth, and
he never made another mistake.
He has recently been given quite
young collie to train, and is making a
great success of the job, taking the
young dog with him on his trips and
watching over him jealously, and has
several times prevented the puppy
from being stolen.

The history contest will be con-
tinued and juniors who have not
already sent in their history story
are requested TO do so at once, being
particular to have it not less than
200 words in length nor more than
800, to write on only one side of the
paper and TO mark tie number of
words contained in the story in the
upper left hand corner of the
first page. The neglect of some
one of these requirements has
rendered many good stories unayail-
able. Six watches are awarded each
week, and the juniors who have re-
ceiYed prizes all express themselves
as delighted with them.
The younger juniors this week
have another interesting picture
puzzle, which will doubtless bring
as many correctly pasted pictures
of the APteryx as did the Frogs
Tea Party, and in this connection it
may be well to repeat that the 20
paint boxes Whick are given as
prizes are awarded to the first 20
answers contained in the first let
ters that are opened and that the
letters must reach the puzzle edi-
tor not later than Wednesday night.
The roll of honor contains the names
of those who have sent in correct
answers in addition to the 20 young
er juniors who are awarded prizes.
The way in which AIOnzO, The
Junior Call dog, today justifieS his
appointment last Saturday to an
exalted position is amusingly de-
picted in Cart00nist Yardley'S own
style. AlOnzO's career will bear
watching, as will also the new
town of JuniOrvilIe. When anything
happens at JuniOrviIIe the whole
town knows about it. See the rum

The Camel

Camel. thou art good and mild,
Might'st be guided by child;
Thou vast made for usefulness,
Man to comfort and to bless;
Thou dost clothe him; thou dost feed
Though dost lend to him thy speed;
And through wilds of trackless sand,
In the hot Arabian land,
Where no rock it's shadow throws,
Where no cooling water flows,
Where the hot air is not stirred
BY the wing of singing bird
There thou goest. untired and meek
Day by day, and week by week,
With thy load of precious things
Silks for merchants, gold for kings,
Pearls of Ormuz, riches rare,
Damascene and Indian ware
Bale on bale, and heap on heap
Freighted like a costly ship
And when week by week is gone,
And the traveller journeys on
Feebly: when his strength is fled,
And his hope and heart seem dead,
Camel, thou dost turn thine eye
On him kindly. soothingly.
AS If thou wouldst, cheering, say,
Journey on for this one day
Do not let thy heart despond!
There is water yet beyond!
| can scent 1t in the ARR
And thou guid'st the traveller there.

SHORT STORY
Cooking Schools in Germany

LILY
a result of conference between
IN the kaiserin and the Prussian min
lister of education an attempt will be
made to make instruction in cooking
and all other branches of household
management obligatory in all Prus-
sian schools for girls. The principal
objection to the scheme hitherto has
been the heavy cost of erecting and
fitting out kitchens. This has now
been overcome by the empress, who
has promised to contribute largely
from her private purse and act as the
treasurer for a public subscription. 1t
is thought that $4,000 can be collected
in this way.
The question will be raised at the
next session of the Prussian diet, and
If the legislature is prepared to vote
the additional necessary funds tie min
istry of education will make this in
struction compulsory.

The superintendent of the public
school army of New York has a higher
salary than the pay of a German gen
eral, and only a little below that paid
to a British general, and. although he
wears no gold lace, probably his work
for the good of the world is greater
than that of all the generals put to-
gether. Each teacher really is a gen
eral, who has to command her soldiers
to do deeds that may individually be
unpleasant merely that something
bigger. better and more worth while
may be gained.

Food Capacity of Birds

Birds can eat and digest from 10 to
80 times as much food in proportion to
their size as men can. If q man could
eat as much in proportion 30 his size as
q sparrow is able to consume he would
need a whole sheep for dinner, a couple
of dozens of chickens for breakfast and
six turkeys for his evening meal

Rheumatism Recipe.

A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the following valuable,
though simple and harmless, prescrip-
ton. which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, il any, dminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained and without injuring the
stomach. While there are many social
ed Rheumatism remedies, patent med
icines, ETC., some of which do give relief,
few really give permanent results. and
the above will, no doubt, be greatly APP
preciated by many sufferers here at this
time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can be
bought separately, or the druggists here
will mix the prescription for our readers
if asked to.
