THE COLLIE AS A WORKER.

We are apt to look upon the
Collie as rather more of an orna-
ment than as a working dog. 1t
is simply a matter of circum-
stance. Most any collie puppy
will show an adaptability to do
the work required of it on farm
with varying degrees of natural
aptitude. One may go into the
country school-any school for
that matter-and, to be a bit
Irish, not all the boys will be
found at the top of the class.
Some collies will take hold of the
idea just as soon as they see an
other dog doing the work. Some

to teach a dog tddrive sheep or

loping around and yelping, is on

how. He is condo nned as brain

This poppycocld twaddle about
narrow skulls LEAVING no room
for brains is mostb f it bosh. We
have seen just as hany fool dogs
among the coarse broad-skulled
collies as the Others, for they
have not the keen, fine blood that
makes for the shaI pness, vitality
and intelligence of the well-bred
show dog. We SAY show dog as
eXemplifying the ype. We know
of an example of this right at
home, as the farmers say.
The old farm dob was a dog of
uncertain lineagd mostly de-
rived of a drovet family, that
worked around he yards at
Brighton, Mass, a black and
white sharp-faced chap with a
wide skull. His t4mper was I'M
certain, and he was finally killed
for biting somebody who came in
the yard. He was b good worker
as they go, but DIS soon as his
task of bringing Or rounding ur
the cows was cor cluded it was

spot for him and take little no.

familiar sounds around him de
noted that it was time for him tt

AS he grew up he became just al

as the old dog, with the addet
advantage that he is up and do

One cannot expect show collie
to take up the thread of farm

JAPANESE PACT NOT SETTLED
TO BRING 1T UP ON
SENATE FLOOR.
Would Force Republicans to Go Into
Executive Session in Recognition
of Agreement as Treaty.

Democratic senators have not aban-
doned their efforts to secure more light on
the American-Japanese entente in rela-
ton to the future of China
This is indicated by statements made
by Senators Bacon and Money, minority
members of the committee on foreign
relations. that they are not satisfied with
Secretary Roots explanation to the effect
that the understanding is not of binding
force upon either government. The fact
that the republican members of the COM
mittee are unanimous in support of the
position assumed by Secretary Root is
likely to cause the democratic senators
to bring the subject before the Senate.
If the democratic members of the COM
mittee should launch into discussion of
the understanding, and in their speeches
deal with the foreign policy of this gov
ernment. some republican senator is GER
tain to move that the doors be closed and
the subject be treated executive
matter. The motion of any one senator
would accomplish this result
AS argument in favor of discussing
the question in Legislative session the DEM
Ocrats have determined to use Secretary
Roots explanation that the understanding
contains no obligation upon either the
United States or Japan. BY forcing re-
publican members to ask that the doors
be closed the position of the minority,
1t is said. will be materially strengthened
1t is assumed by democrats that unless
the matters covered by the entente should
be the subject of a treaty there can be
no good reason for closing the doors. a
discussion of the subject in the Senate will
create an interesting situation.
