SPEED OF HUNTING DOGS.
Winners Hunt at the Rate of Thirty
Miles an Hour.

From Recreation.
The physical qualities Of a field trial
dog are ability to go extremely fast and
to stay. The old-time sportsman's dog.
an all-around willing, workmanlike. If
humble shooting companion. will not do
for this age OF specialization. Our dogs
must keep pace with the times and its
tendencies, consequently our trial winner
can do as much work in thirty minutes
as an ordinary dog could accomplish in
half a day. Through training. selection
and survival OF the flttest our field trial
dog has become the most tremendous
hunting and running animal in the world.
He shares with the foxhound and the
horse the honors of cross-country rum
Ming but in the amount of brains, de-
termination and ambition which he ruts
into his work there Is nothing with which
Paul 30. a well known field trial winner
of the past decade, could hunt and did
hunt at the rate Of thirty miles an hour.
Not vouching for the accuracy of this
statement regarding Paul 30. though he
is declared by all who saw him to have
been the fastest dog that ever started in
a trial, l can nevertheless assert that bird
dogs do move at this rate of speed. for
l have held a stop watch on them for
measured quarter of a mile. which a
brace of settlers galioped over in just
short of thirty seconds. The quality Of
this performance will be more readily
appreciated when it is recalled that it
takes good greyhound to negotiate a
mile in 150. Conservative persons esti-
mate that the field trial setter Sports
Count Danstone covered sixty miles of
rough country in a three-hour race In the
national championship. No other animal
could have lived with him in such a race
with the possible exception of a foxhound.
He possessed the most endurance of all
the dogs that American field trials have
developed.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Capital Traction stock and the pre-
ferred stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company were the leaders
today in the trading at the meeting OF
the stock exchange. The principal deal
err In the stock Of the former company,
who has apparently not taken much in
terest in this security of late, was today
quite alive to the Importance Of 1t and
was rather strenuous in announcing that
he would buy one hundred shares. He
bid 1921 for such block.
Perhaps his sale of fifty shares at an
advance of an eighth of point over that
figure might lead one to suppose that he
was a seller rather than a buyer, but
nevertheless he continued to repeat the
bid. In the meanwhile other brokers
brought a couple of quotation lots of the
stock for 1924. and at the close the bid
was 1928 and the asking price 133. which
showed an advance in the figures as COM
pared with recent records.
The Washington preferred stock was
picked up at first in small lots. Then
larger lots were taken. One-hundred-
share lots and f1fty-share lots went on a
range of from 90 to 9OA.
Then the broker who took the lead in
the buying-in fact, he presented prac-
tically all the demand-began to advance
the bid. and finally he bid 9O15 for 500.
The bid for the stock was on that level,
and one fifty-share lot sold for 0Os. At
the close the bid was 901z and the asking
price 81.
Yesterday the bid was S9Aand the ask
ing price 0OA. The bonds of the company
sold for S1&, and that was the bid after
the sale of the one lot that comprised
the entire trading. Nothing was done in
the figures remained about the same as
recorded yesterday.

Married Women Who Work.
From Everybody's.

From Everybodys
Widows, 500 600 of them. and more, were
earning their living In the United States
in the year 1900. And married women,
likewise, to the number of more than
100000 And ..vorced women, likewise,
to the number OF more than $1,000. One
million six hundred thousand of them
altogether!
These widowed workingwomen, these
married workingwomen. these divorced
workingwomen, together, were a full
third and more OF the grand total of
4, 100000 American workingwomen. six
teen years of age and over. in the United
States in the last census year.
How many women were there, twenty
five years of age and over. in the United
States in 1900? There were approx
mately 100000. And how many mar
ried women workers. widowed women
workers and divorced women workers
were there? There were approximately
/, 100000.
Which is to say that in the total female

HUNTING BY TELEPHONE.
Sportsmen Summoned When Geese
Are Sighted on Prairies.

From the New York Sun
The rural telephone plays an important
part in bird shooting in the prairie prov
inces of Canada. There is an abundance
of geese, ducks and prairie chicken in
Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta and
the shooting is good clear up to the limits
of the cities.
Let a flock of geese be sighted on its
way south from the breeding grounds
on the shores of Hudson bay or up the
Yukon or on its return north In the spring
and the telephone Is brought into play to
summon sportsmen for twenty miles
around. The birds make overnight stops
wherever they find water and the gunners
spend most OF their night in preparation.
They dig holes deep enough to conceal
a man and set decoys about thirty yards
away. Experienced hunters will wait I'M
til the flock is passing and then shoot
into the flock from behind. It has been
shown that shot are more effective this
way than when the attack IL made from
the front.
The windier the day the better. for then
the geese fly low. Most geese are shot
when flying less than forty yards from
the ground.

Putting It Gently.
Mapa1iue

From Everybody's Magazine.
The sages of the general store were
discussing the veracity of old ST Perkins
when Uncle Bill Abbott ambled In.
What do you think about 1t, Uncle
Bill?" they asked him. would you call
81 Perkins a liar?'
WALL" answered Uncle Bill slowly,
as he thoughtfully studied the ceiling.
II don't know as I go SO far as to call
him a liar exactly. but / do know this
much: when feedin' time comes in order
to get any response from his hogs, he has
to get somebody else to call 'em for
him."
