knowing Dog Gets Doctor

Georgetown. Del. Feb. p. The sa-
gacity of Shep, handsome collie owned
by Chris. Wilkins. who lives on farm
about miles from here, probably saved
the life of his youngest child and today
Shep is the pet of the neighborhood.
In the night the child became violently
i'll and il soon was seen that a doctor
was needed Immediately. Wilkins felt
that he should not leave his wife alone
with the child, but, as Shep often had
gone to the home of wilkins brother
in Georgetown. he believed that the
intelligent dog could be sent there
again.
Writing a note telling of the child's
illness, he tied il in a stocking about
the collie's neck and then told him TO go
to Georgetown. When the door was
was opened the dog ran Off like shot
and short time afterward Bert. Will
kins was awakened by a scratching at
his back door. Going downstairs, he
found the dog outside and, knowing that
il was his brothers.. he suspected some
thing wrong and soon found the note
tied around the animals neck. A doc
tor was summoned and he hurried out TO
the Wilkins farm in time TO save the
child's life.

yesterday Eighteen marksmen reported,
and the usual programme Of weekly events
was decided.
It was delightful upon the firing line, and
as result the nimrods returned some ex-
cellent scores. A slight change IN the
handicaps did away with the numerous ties
that have been so common at Travers ISL
and this season. Only one event required
a shoot-off.
1t was the shoot for the tournament cup.
and when the sunners had all left the firing
line for the first time IT was found that
W. b. ogden. c. w. Billings. Gus Lembeck
and T. Lenane, jr., all had tied for the
right to challenge W. NJ. Minford, the
holder OF the prize.
In the shoot-off that followed. T. Lenane,
jr, made the only straight score of the
day. and so shot the defende- for the cup.
He, however was unable 10 duplicate the
good work, and Mr.. Minford retained the
