That Can Feisn Death.
There are some who believe. though
the evidence seems against them. that

tralian yellow dog dingo, al
ways hungry. dusty in the sun"-are
xeversions to the wild state of a race
once tame, just as the pariah dogs of
various countries have travelled half
the road toward becoming wild ami
mails again.
AS one sees the dingo here in the
gardens 1t looks not merely like do
INVESTIGATED dog, but like dog Of
distinctly engaging and amicable kind.
The dingO's character bellies its gentle
looks. "Quarrelsome, sly and treach-
erous," an Australian naturalist has
called it. So sly is it that. according
to Mr.. Beddard in 1.-THE Cambridge
Natural History" it feigns death with
such persistence that an individual has
been known to be partly flayed before
moving and so treacherous that in the
days when dingos were more COM
monty kept as pets by the colonists
than, as a result Of bitter experience,
As the case today it was no unusual
thing for the dog which had been
brought up with every tenderness from
puppyhood to turn suddenly on its
master or mistress, or, what was more
frequent, when left in temporary
charge Of IN empty house to seize the
opportunity to raid the sheepfold or
the poultry runs.
On such occasions it ravens" even
ms the wolf, killing not to satisfy its
hunger, but in the understandable fury
of a brute instinct, so that, given time
enough, it will not leave one fowl or
one sheep alive That it does not need
much time, moreover. is shown by the
statement Of Thomas Ward that zone
ilingo in the course of a few hours

Fishing Extraordinary.

The following letter from Claude
Barnett, formerly of this place but
now of Harrisonburg, La, to S.
w. Shockley will be of interest to
sportsmen:
We just got back from fishing
trip, and remembering how you
used to enjoy fishing, | herewith
send you the result of our trip.
About Is of us went out 3 or 4
miles and spent the day. During
the days fishing we caught more
than 900 fish more than 8 inches
long, and we only fished with pole
and line. | thought of you and
papa, and how much you used to
enjoy good fishing. | stood in
one place and in about thirty min
utes caught II white trout weigh
ing over AZ pounds. We also
went out on deer drive last month
and stayed week, and killed Ia
fine ones. This is a great place
for hunting and fishing, but the
people don't seem to appreciate it
very much. But to one like my
self who is not used to it, it seems
out of the ordinary. Wish you
could come down and spend a
week or so.
You might publish this if you
think it would be of interest to the
sporting men of dear old Tisho-
mingo. Claude Barnett.

He Lost The Fish.

Mr.. ]. I. Robinson, who lives
on Yellow Greek near Young S
ford, was in town Saturday and
was telling of little Olen Bullard S
experience with a big cat fish.
Olen was fishing in Yellow Greek
which was muddy and rising, one
one day last week. He had an
ordinary hook and a long cane
pole. A large yellow cat which
John thought must weighed near
ly 40 pounds, bit and the boys
pole broke near his hand. How
ever he managed to catch the part
the fish was fastened to, but in
stead of dragging the fish out he
undertook to lift it, but the line
broke and Olen lost his fish, mnch
to his regret.

yours may the gracious Heavenly
Father so overcome the wrong
that naught but good may result

and kind to me, and the bread
you have cast on the waters" the

must be faithful to your work in
the future, as you have been in
the past; and you must stand by
your teachers in the future, as
you have stood by those of the
past. Love your school and see
to it that it builds from year to

for the boys and girls who are to

And only the Master shall praise
us,
And only the Master shall

And no one shall work for money,
And no one shall work for
fame:
But each for the joy of working
and each in his separate star,
Shall draw the thing as he sees
For the God of things as they
