A Faithful Dog.

That a dog can occasionally be OF
use. and show a degree of intell-
gance that often is an example for
humans. was shown a few evenings
ago. J. D. Fields was injured by a
fall from the roof of Josiah Jacoby's
barn, and was taken to his residence
in east Plymouth He has been
working a good deal this summer
with Mrs. Fields brother. who
lives on the Wickizer farm south of
town. While there he made friends
with the family dog, and the faith
full animal would often come home
with him. 1t got so that when Mr..
Fields missed, his visits to the farm,
the dog would come to see him. The
night he was hurt the dog made the
trip, and seeing that something was
wrong, jumped on the bed and lick
Cd his face. Mrs. Fields was wish
ing for some way to send word OF
the accident to the farm, and con-
ceived the idea of writing note,
which she entrusted to the dogs
keeping. Telling the faithful animal
that it was to be taken home, away
the dog went. and carried the note
to the door, and by his whines at
tracted attention. and the family was
thus aware of the accident to Mr..
Fields.

The conversation turned on the

the part played by Republican State
