HOW FAST ANY AUTOMOBILE
CAN GO.

Jack London, whose contributions
to American literature in the shape Or
1.-The Call of the Wild THE Sea
Wolf" and other stories have earn
ed him an enviable reputation, might
find abundant material in Memphis,
Tennessee for his recent war of mag
azine articles with former President
Roosevelt as to whether animals
think. London takes the affirmative
side of the question and the Premier
Waverly Company of Memphis, the
distributor of Premier automobiles in
that section of the country, has ltv-
ing, breathing exposition of the the
oryt The example is a Scotch Col
lie named Rex. so called because he
was bred in the purple. Sir Rex, his
full name, is from the kennels of
Judge DeRelle, circuit attorney of the
Z. S. Court at Louisville. KY. Rex is
by Foreigner the Scotchman, at one
time owned by King Edward the Sew
enth Of old England. but now the
property of Judge De Relic. Rex is n
speed maniac Of the truest type and
those particulars in which Rex bears
out London's contention that animals,
particularly dogs, think, might be am
plified in scores of ways, but his con-
nection with things gasoline best IL
lustrate the opinion. Rex lives at
the Premier-Waverly Garage, having
taken up his abode there shortly af-
ter he was one month old, and he has
breathed the atmosphere of. gasoline
until it is claimed that if a flame
were held close to his long silken hair
he would explode. Rex has not
only had his hair, but also his mind
surcharged with automobile environ
ment. Rex would rather ride fast
than go to dog heaven. No machine
in tho garage is fast enough to make
its exit before Rex can jump upon
the seat beside the chauffeur, and no
amount of persuasion will cause him
to dismount unless thoroughly con-
vinced that the engine is missing or
the gasoline giving out. 1t is never
too late nor too early for Rex to vent
his mania, and he even seems to
sleep with one eye open and the 9TH
the door. It is not SO much in the
general statement of the Coilie's ma
mia that his intellect is shown, as IN
the detailed account. He absolutely
puts the embargo upon electric and
low power machines, even the most
urgent coaXings of his master fail to
prevail upon him to take a ride in
an Anticipated or slow automobile.
Two cylinder cars are the most mod
est that Rex will recognize; a six
cylinder car is Rexs chief delight,
and If two cars. one q six and the
| other a four cylinder auto, are leav-
| ing at the same time, Rex will with
| out the slightest hesitation select the
| former. He has been able to rec
ognize q Premier ever since he reach
| ed the age of discretion, and if two
| other cars are going out, one a Pre-
mier and the other car of any 9TH
| er make. he has never failed to select
the former. Rex demonstrates his
| displeasure at slow going by barking.
| An ordinary rate of ten miles an
hour brings from him a demonstra-
ton of disappointment that is liable
! to strike fear to the hearts of those
who are not aware of the fact that
his bark is worse than his bite, and
| that he never bites anything but

IN RECLAMATION SERVICE.

United States Government for re-

Pullman car will be used in OPEN

the work necessitates driving over
country where there are few roads
and district where driving an au-
tomobile has been considered an i'm
possibility, Chief Cole of the Recla-

THEY WANT IIMOUSINES.

Ordinarily this is considered the
slow season of the year for export
business says G.. Vernon Rogers,
secretary of the Mitchell-Lewis Mo-
tor Company "but contrary to ex-
pectations it has been picking up re-
marl<ably in all the countries where
we are doing business. Apparently
the medal we received from the Rus
sian government at the national SHOW
in ST. Petersburg recently has had
a great deal of influence in swing
ing orders to our company, as we
are making large shipments to the
Russian, German and Scandinavian
trade. South America at this sea-
son is purchasing limousines almost
exclusively. In BuenOs Ayres dur

need for one in Rio de Janeiro. How

Dogs that work in Belgium are bought and sold in the open market like horses. and if strong and well broken they bring from 500 to S2j each ln manufacturing towns there is the usual number of horses, but for every horse you will see two dogs in harness on the streets. Early in the morning market women drive them hitched to carts loaded down with veg etables. The grocer. the expressman. the butcher and baker. all employ dogs to do the work of horses. They are much quicker than the horse. and size for size they, can draw heavier load It is said the dog in harness will go twice as far as the horse with. in the same time.
