Their manner of stopping bicycle is to
throw themselves fearlessly into the front
wheel-a summary proceeding which. not
unnaturally, overturns rider, bicycle and the
dog, too, and all are tumbled together in
confused mass ON the ground.
A peculiar feature of their training is
police officers uniform. They viii always
protect a policeman in uniform. But let
the same man take off his uniform and be-
gin to act the part of tramp, and the
gence they show in answering the whistle
is also most notable. They are not deferred
by shots, and will jump savagely at the

but from FIVE to eight years, when he is
worn out and is honorably discharged from

A few details as to how the dogs are
cared for may be valuable. Thus, in win

mixture of broth meat, rice and black bread.
Each ration weighs about three pounds.

who wear the uniform of the police. This
training takes three months. The animals are
looked after by an officer in plain clothes,
and who is thus able to get up sham attacks
on the men. Each dog always watches the
same beat, and is associated with the same
officials. A night watch begins at 10 o'clock
and continues without break till 8 A, M.
This has taken the place of the old system,
by which different men came on in turn: The
advantage claimed for the new system is that
the policeman being on the same me beat oih the
on there during this lapse of time.
Now let us consider one of these trained

IN HEN Mr.. Van WesemaeI, the chief OF
IVY police of the Belgian city OF Client,
could not get enough men, he asked
Mayor Braun to let him have dogs
"a dog" he said, "can follow fleeing man
more swiftly than police officer. He is more
nimble; he Is full of courage, and evil doers are
terribly afraid of him. His nose and ears are
the best in the world. He can squeeze through
a small hole. Well trained, he will be three
times as useful as a man." SO the chief got
the dogs, first three, then thirty, and police
officials from many cities have come to study
their work and some of them to copy it.
The sheep-dogs of Belgium and France have
been found most valuable in this service. They
are taken at six months old and trained with
great care. During the first two weeks the
dogs are simply kept in their kennels, where
they are taught obedience, and then are slow
~ initiated into their future work. They are
first taken, every evening, to the place where
the night watchmen gather before starting
out on their BEATS where they make the ac-
quaintance of their future masters, who win
their affection by giving them bits of liver
to eat.
During the early months the dogs stay out
of doors only two or three hours every night,
but later on this period of work is heightened
to eight hours. They are taught how to search
for thieves, how to lead the policeman to
some hidden spot where are footpads and the
like, how to obey promptly when ordered to
pounce on malefactor, how to return quick
ly to the policeman on the lrst signal to this
effect, how to swim, and how to answer inn
mediately the whistle of a night watchman
Furthermore, they are expected to defend a
policeman when he is attacked, to follow any
body who is running or who is carrying, large
parcel, and to scent out tramps lurking in
hiding.
To prevent the dogs which are destined for
the service from becoming too familiar with
other people than their masters, they are
taught to be dstrustful OF everybody but those

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 3.-Acting
Attorney General Hoyden Clement
to-day rendered an opinion that John
r. Early of Lynn, N. c., the leper
now quarantined in the District of
Columbia, could not be received by
North Carolina and that his wife,
who is with him must be quarantined
indefinitely by the health board of
Polk county in case she returns to
her home at Lynn.
In his opinion, the attorney general
says there would be danger to peo-
ple in the territory, whether by rail
or through the country; that the dis
ease became apparent in Washington
and that North Carolina is not called
upon to care for citizens i'll in anoth-
er State or in the United States out
side of this State; that there are no
provisions Tor a case of this kind in
the charity work of the State and
that Early is a discharged soldier OF

contracted while in it's employ; it is
the duty of the federal government
to care for him. In case Mrs. Early
returns to Polk county he holds that
she must be quarantined Indefinitely

keep up the fine record established
by Mr.. Jones.
It is with regret that the many
friends of Mr.. Jones in this county
will give him up. He is a gentleman
of fine character, an energetic and
enthusiastic school worker, and with
al a good citizen. He has done a fine
work in the Ehrhardt school, and the
impetus his efforts have given to ed
ucational matters in that section
have been of great benefit to the COM
munity and county. Here's good
luck to you, Mr.. Jones.
