Outside his own cleverness there Is
nothing that so delights Mr.. Virgins
as a game Of baseball, and when he
gets chance to exploit the two at the

the happiest man In the world. Hence
1t was that the other day, when little
red-headed Willie Mulligan, his office
boy. came shifting into his presence
to ask for the afternoon off that he
might attend his grandmother's fu-

stroke to answer:
"Why, certainly, Willie. What's
more, my boy, If you'll wait for me I'll
60 with you."

returned to his desk and waited pa

keep Volumes have been written regarding the
remarkable intelligence and Judgment displayed
by the shepherd dogs of this and other countries
in minding 1locks of sheep and thousands OF dogs
are today doing mems work in this field Similar
ly efficient service is performed very frequently
by dogs in assisting to drive cattle to market or
to the railroad yards and even in the more deli
cate work of rounding up poultry Finally there
hundred minor services as, for example, That
performed by the numerous farm dogs that have
been taught by their masters to meet the rural
free delivery carrier each day and to bring to the
farm house the mail and the daily paper. This
is big time-saver for the farmer when, as Is so
often the case, the r. F. D. box is located a con-
siderable distance from the dwelling.
Some persons have predicted that the
time will come in America when some OF our
farmers will employ dogs as they do in Holland
and other foreign countries to draw the carts OF
milk to the creameres and do other work that we
now entrust to horses but this prediction is not
generally accepted because of the great distances
involved in this country However, there IS no
reason why the usefulness OF intelligent CANNES
should not be still further developed and certain
ly as the "automoblle habit spreads IN the rural
communities the farmers going to find dogs In
dispensable in one more direction for 1t has been
proven that there is no deterrent like dog that
looks as though he meant business for warning OF
the joy riders who wont to appropriate auto
mobiles that they find standing unguarded in the
treets or in market space or at picnic.
All the above has reference, or course 10 the
value as helpers on the farm, but this by no means
exhausts the possibilities of the subject. On an
increasing number of farms 1t has been found
that dogs can be made source of actual revenue.
This is accomplished by breeding blooded dogs
for the market. 1t is of necessity side line"
~ be sure, but 1t can be made most profitable
one for fine dogs bring big prices and the farmer
has the facilities for breeding dogs under the pest
conditions without fraction of the investment
that would be required of man who established
a kennel on tract of land used for no other pur-
pose. Moreover the farmers wife and chldren
can do most of the work of caring for the dogs
just as they do in many instances IN the case
of the poultry There is not much danger that
it VIII prove irksome either, for there is hothlhs
amusing than the average puppy, ana ne
does not a rule re4%ire that extreme sohcltous
that must be bg.towed upon some other
classes of pet stock.
The species of dogs which may most advan-
tageously be selected farm helpers u.s. OF course,
matter OF individual opinion and there are al
most as many different opinions on the subject as
with the regard to the age at which people should
marry. Naturally, personal preferences on the
part of the farmer and the members OF MS 1amhy

When the Minister Scored.

In a contradiction to the Christian
Register, Thomas R. Slicer tells this:
Some men the other night, in con-
versation with me, knowing I was a
minister-and 1t is the spirit Of this
time to put it up to minister in
terms at least of gentle satire-said:
We have been discussing conscience
and one of them said, I have given a
definition of conscience; it Is the YER
micular appendix of the SOUL and they
laughed. And said, That is a good
definition in your case; you never
know you have it until it hurts YOU
Then they did not laugh"

BIRDS FIGHT THEIR IMAGES.
But SO Do Fish, for That Matter, According to
Darwin

correspondent for the Scotsman recently
ported what he described the curious freak" of
a backbrd flying against a parlor window many
times at the same spot continuously. Such an in.
cident is not uncommon. Birds have been known
to fight for hours at a time, day after day. with
their own image reflected in a pane of glass, peck
ing and nuttering against the pane and quite ex
hausting themselves in their fury to demolish the
supposed rival 1t is another instance of how the
arts of our civilization corrupt and confuse the
birds.
1t is the same with fishes. Darwin tells a
story of pike in an aquarium separated by plate
glass from fish which were it's proper food In
trying to get at the fish the pike would often dash
with such violence against the glass as to be COM
pletey stunned. 1t did this for more than three
months before 1t learned caution. Then when
the glass was removed the pike would not attack
those particular fish, but would devour others
freshly introduced.

passing vehicles if his master has arrived at the
luxury OF an automobile. And in nine cases out
OF ten the farmer and his family could not drop
ccntentedly off to sumber at night without the
assurance that one or more dogs watch to
give quick warning Of anything out of the or
binary.
The dog on the farm helps in variety of ways,
but 1t is a question after all whether his great
est value does not lie In the companionship he
affords The farmer and the farmers wife, par
ticuary il they live in an isolated locality, would
be mighty lonely at times for the faithful
dog and a lone child on farm, with play
mates within several miles, might be hard put
to it for amusement We're it not for the self-same
anmal-proverbay patient under childish ty-
ranny and ever ready to join in any diyerting
project And, since most people consider big
dogs the best companions, the farmer is fortu-
nate in his ability to choose with reference to
such preference. The city man living in house
IN or, worse yet, cooped up in a flat, finds
the term house dog synomous with small size,
but in the country, where the average home has
large lawn and the dwelling has wide porches,
there need be no line OF discrimination drawn be-
tween the house dog and the "out doors dog"
Closely linked to the sentimental value of the
farm dog as companion is the worth Of the serv.
leo he renders as guardian of life and property
on the farm. 1t is not merely, for instance, that
such dog can serve as companion for the farm
er's wife when she Is left alone but better yet
he is able to offer very tangible protection from
annoyance by tramps or other unwelcome Wis
ttors. Similarly the intelligent canine can exer-
else an almost human watchfulness over the chill.
dren when they are out of sight and out of hear
Ing OF their elders, and in proof of the dogs ca
pabilities in this role is only necessary to point
to the very frequent rescues from drownings in
which dogs play the part of heroes
At night when the farmer and his family are
asleep this vigilance on the part OF alert CANNES
is an almost invaluable safeguard and under ideal
conditions it affords the farmer as good or better
protection than can be claimed for his city cousin
residing On street patrolled by policemen. 1t is
because OF the diverse responsibilities of this
night sentry work that many shrewd farmer
thinks 1t wise to keep not merely one good dog
but three Or four. With dog inside the house
and another outside the building and with Other
dogs inside and outside the barn the farmer neet
have little fear that he will lack for warnings
should anything out OF the ordinary transpire
These dogs be depended upon, moreover moi
only to give warning of the approach of trespass
ers. but they equally serviceable as aarmists
should fire break out should any of the stock
get loose In the night or invade the feed bins
Such canine services tangible as is their value
are by no means all the responsibilities that
grateful dogs assume in return for their modest

The bulldog is famous as a watch dog on the
farm and there are many farms all up and down
the land where one of these pugnacious beasts is
considered Indispensable. However, the seem
ing inability OF many bulldog to distinguish be-
tween friend and foe has put the clan III bad favor
on many farm where there are numerous uneX-
pected callers or where summer boarders from
the city are included in the household in vaca-
