The Boy and
His Dog Friend

Several Waterfowl boys have dogs
which they have broken to drive sim.
liar to a horse. Among the boys
who seems to be the most successful
dog trainer is little ''Bid2 Desmond,
the twelve year old son OF Mr.. and Mrs
William Desmond who reside on the
south side. This boy not only has
one dog that is thoroughly broken to
drive but he has pair of dogs which
respond to his bidding as we'll as any
span of horses that ever wore har-
ness. Bid" is bright manly little
fellow and it does one good to see him
going to and fro from his home doing
errands for his mother with his span
of trained dogs.
Next to his mother the thing in this
world the small boy loves best is his
dog, The homelier the animal is, the
more unattractive he appears to other
eyes, the fonder the boy is of him.
And his affection is more than equal.
ed by the devotion Of the dog.
It is theory Of some Of tho psychic
researchers that transference Of thot,
or telepathy, is survival of a power
the human mind had OF communicate
ing with another before speech was
born If this is true, the power Is
clear and strong between the boy and
the dog. They understand each other
perfectly. They need no man langu-
age or dog language. The two are
always in complete rapport.
1 We read the other day Of a little
fellow who ran away to escape whip
ping and was drowned in slough. 1t
/ was the boys dog which discovered
his masters bedraggled little cap and
/ pointed out to the rescners where to
find the body. Such happenings are
1 not infrequent, but they are always
pathetic. What must be the depths
4 of the dogs feelings when such cal
amity comes into his life; and it must
be all the more profound because he
cannot give expression to it. The dog
can express his joy, his love and his
devotion. He can express them bouy,
antly, abundantly with every bit OF
his body to the very tip of his tail
But grief he can only show by quiet
| look from sad and mournful eyes, toe
a full for tears. One other way he has
and it is not uncommon. Often on a
4 newly marked grave the body Of a
dog is found. He has given expires
sion to his feelings in the only way
I left to him--by dying. Y

Of the state used a good deal Of the

We presume that they will not feel

October, to ask his wife where she
