trained, usually seems able to make
finer deductions-he's more logical"
You spoke of the dogs being logical
when is 1t that they have to make
deductions" Doctor Fulton was ask
ed.
We'll, In a case like one that hap
pened out in a Nebraska town a few
years ago-I forget the place. A house
had been burglarized in a small town,
the robber getting away with several
hundred dollars, and leaving nothing
from which we could give the scent
to the hounds. The owner of the
house knew all the people who had
been in the room from which the
money was taken for the last three
days. except the robber. We got all
those people there, and gave the order
to the dog: Find him!'
THE Cuban hound Immediately
picked up a scent that took him to
the wife of the owner Of the house,
who was in the next room. But the
English dog went smiling around, got
acquainted with the scents of the peo-
pie there, then found a trail different
from any of them. 1t led to a negro's
house out In the country, and the
negro afterward confessed to the
crime
There is an old idea that a man
can shake on the dogs by walking in
running water. About ten years ago
two men broke out Of the Beatrice
Jail. They followed the bed of the
creek four miles and then confidently
took the road. We simply trailed
them to the creek, and, one dog on
each side, followed 1t down until the
place where the men came out. Then
this will show you how keen is the
scent Of the hounds-we put them in
o buggy and drove along the road. As
long as the men we were hunting had
stayed on the road, which was about
ten miles, the dogs sat still, intent
and watchful. AS soon as we reached
the spot where they dived into a corn
field the dogs jumped out Of the bug
gy. They had scented the trail from
the bed Of the buggy. 81
"A trail becomes hard to follow
after about so hours have elapsed, but
W . have followed trails much older
than that.
we ran a horsethief who had made
away with q fine pair Of mares in
South Dakota. four years ago, ESQ
miles before we captured him and the
horses. It took nine days to catch
him, the two hounds steadily follow
ing the scent for that length of time.
Then about eight years ago two of
my dogs. 'Joe-Joe' and Miss Colum-
bia,' were taken out to the wild hills
in Wyoming to run down . band Of
train robbers who had taken 500 900
from a Missouri Pacific train. Joe.
joe got lost out there and was never
found. Probably he was stolen. But
Miss Columbia went on and man.

ANNEXATION A MYTH
SECRETARY KNOX PREDICTS U.
S.-CANADA ALLIANCE FOR
PEACE OR WAR.
PRAISE FOR RECIPROCITY
Cabinet officer and James J. Hill
Arouse Enthusiasm at Chicago
Banquet When They EspouSe Cause
of Trade Relations with Dominion.

Chicago.-With the full authority
n knowledge Of President Taft,
Philander Chase Knox. secretary OF
state, speaking for the president. let
1t be definitely and decisively
known that the idea of annexing Can
ada to the United States was one of
the things furtherest removed from
the mind of the nations chief execu-
tive.
Reciprocal trade relations with the
northern n%eighbor of the United
States are desired and demanded by
President Taft, said the secretary of
state in effect, but annexation never.
President Taft made Secretary
Knox his mouthpiece in replying to
Champ Clark, Democratic leader OF
the house Of representatives. for the
latter's "one land, one flag" speech
OF last Tuesday.
Secretary Knox made the position
of the Taft administration perfectly
plain when he said with great en-
phasis and with a measuring of every
word n every syllable:
In the higher atmosphere and
broader aspects Of the situation. 1t is
certain that If there should be any
great world movement involving this
continent then Canada and the United
States would, as a matter OF course,
act in the most perfect concert In de-
Tense of the common rights OF a COM
mon blood and civilization"
Again he urged his hearers to re-
member that the wisdom of CONNER
cial reciprocity ought not to be OBJ
scured by the fear of relations too
cordial and conceivably dangerous to
the great Canadian loyalty to Eng
land"
espoused the cause of reciprocal
trade relations with Canada before a
great gathering Of Chicago business
men and business men from the mid
die west at the Hotel La Sale
Wednesday night.
The occasion was the Reciprocity
Banquet" of the Chicago Association
OF Commerce" What had primarily
intended to be a gathering OF I'M
mense business interests to urge upon
congress the necessity Of taking inn
mediate action on the great question
OF the day, was In a manner turned
into IN occasion Of rejoicing because
Of the action Of the lower house Of
congress in passing the reciprocity
measure.
James ]. Hill characterized the
proposed reciprocity agreement with
Canada as a example Of constructive
statesmanship; Mr.. Knox called 1t
the natural evolution OF a neighborly
feeling between the two countries.
The speeches Of both the secretary
Of state and the railroad magnate
from the northwest yer %attentively
listened to. The banquet was held
In the great banqueting on he
nineteenth floor of the Hotel La
Sale. Invitations had been extended
to commercial organizations through.

There have been rumors recently OF

however, has been denied, both by the
Chinese foreign board and the Russian

The treaty of 1881 provided for the
