The Technical World

The Technical World Magazine
for May, contains most remarkable
article Che first authentic descrip-
ton of the amazing feats of the
speaking dog, Don,' Of Hamburg,
Germany. The Technical World
says:
When few months ago faint
rumors about dog endowed with
the gift of speech, first reported by
German papers, gradually spread to
America, most people skeptically
shook their heads, believing it an
open mystifeation or an effort Of
self-delusion. When, however, the
the best known men of science show
ed their interest in that wondrous
dog by thorough investigation of
his capacities, doubt was no longer
permissible and the yeracity of the
report had to be conceded.
Don's case is both authentic and
unique and whatever reports on 9TH
II speaking dogs may be current
should be put down to effects Of i'm
agination. There may be other dogs
capable of initiating one Of two
words, very much in the fashion of
of parrots, as purely mechanical
of sounds to which no
meaning is attached, Don, however,
does speak, and is the only animal
SO far proved to do so.
Speech to him is the expression
of an inward impulse to commune
cate with his master and other per-
sons, showing them his affection or
requesting the fulfllment of some
wish.
At the age Of six months, very
much earlier than human baby. he
for the first time showed his extra
ordinary gift by pronouncing the
first articulate word. He was stand
ing near the table. looking with beg
ging eye sat his master and when the
latter happened to ask him: Would
you like to have something's he
clearly replied: Haben' Chavez ).
After this startling performance, be-
obviously became the object Of un-
usual interest.
It is told Of him that on once
meeting an old woman from the
neighboring village on her way to-
the market, he quietly stepped to-
wards her, distinctly pronouncing
the words: Don hunger, kuchen ha-

leaving her basket behind her, in the
firm belief that the dog was possess
ed Of the evil one.
The most wonderful thing about
him is his talking with strangers
quite as freely as with his own mas
ter. When therefore DR.. Pfunpst.
the ell-known expert in the psyche
logy Of animals, and DR.. Vosseler,
director of the Hamburg Geological
Gardens, wished to submit Dom to
scientific tests, they had no difficulty
whatever in making him pronouce
every word Of his repetoire. The
photographic records made on this
occasion prove beyond doubt the
identity of Don speech with that Of
human beings. There are, it is true,
some slight differences in pronuncia-
ton due to differences in the struc-
5ture Of the larynx, but these in no
way detract from the distinctness of
the words
The Technical World has an ex-
tended and exceedingly interesting
=
description of the tests to which
Don has been subjected to scient-
lists, with pictures Of his dogship.

Smile.

Let us try with the best that is in us,
To make this old life sweet song;
Let pure things, and noble aims win us,
Have a smile and forget all the wrong
For this world very often gets dreary,
If wessmile only when we are glad;
Let us sing out good cheer when we're weary
And we'll bring smiles to those who are sad.
We know that a frown is contagious.
While laughter is always worth while;
We can make some poor sinner courageous,
If we smile out we'll smiling smile

THE WILLIAMS & WALKER OF
THE EJTuRE

Sardonian measures of calling pres
sure seem to have threatened the ex-
alted air upon which two foremost
stars of their race and respective
sexes have floated. Danger seems
near and the day star of hope gives
no signal and we yet may perish
Once upon time not SO many years
ago there blossomed upon the Amer
ican stage two young negroes, who
were born to shine as stars and whose.
destiny was besought by the agency
of time which changes the lives of in
dividuals. And among the flowers of
stage Napoleon of his day, the one
man who boldly stood up in his exalt-
ed position and made it possible for
the negro ,thespian of his time, but in
whom we did not really discover until
after he had passed away. But the
name of Williams and Walker is still
fresh in the pages of the American
stage history, so fresh that we can
scarcely stand aside and see that
name go to waste, that name which
means so much prestige and SO much
assets to the negro profession. George
Walker was great man in his time
and there will never be any one that
can fill his place as he did But we
are dying out in way and there must
be some one to try and | think in the
names of Williams and Walker all
hope is not yet lost. There may be
possibility of convincing managers
that the team name which drew more
money into the box Office than any
other attraction upon the stage o.
either continent can be resurrected.
The pathway would be clear for Bert
Williams and Ada Overton Walker.
They have had varied experiences
since the original company disbanded.
They have no doubt discovered that
it is better to stand the vicissitudes
of life and fight it out together. They
understand one another and to COM
bine their forces together, am sure
that they would be just what the pub
lie has yearned for ever since the old
Williams & Walker company disband-
ed some two or three years ago. Mrs.
Walker is the best colored actress on
the stage today and the same with
Bert Williams. So why not quit the
other troopers and head one of their
own. The names are of old, Williams
& Walker.

DEPUTY IS RAIDER.
Garen Gets George Bray and Bert
 Little and Visits Ohio Club.

Deputy Constable Garen, summon ing to his aid George Bray and Beft Little, made a raid on the Ohio Club rooms last night, where considerable excitement attended the removal from that place of one crap table, which was later taken away and burned.
 There were flashing Of pistols sey- eral times in the raid, which caused the crowds gathered to sway back oc- casionally as if in fear of bullets. However, the affair passed off blood : less and with only some very uncom- plimentary remarks, and threats or wholesale arrests. Deputy Prosece tor Wood stated that ne issued the burning orders in the afternoon and placed them with Deputy Garen. con stable Carpenter was apparently fig. nored in the matter. Aside from the excitement created on the main thoroughfare, and the consigning of a crap table to the flames, the affair passed in the customary manner.
