Made the Hen So MerVouS.

4 woman who lives in the Country
club district has large back yard in
which she keeps q few chickens. Her
chickens have become something
more than mere egg producers to her,
IN fact she regards them affection
ately and respects their rights and
feelings. One day 4 plumber was
1T work installing pipes 1t a house
near by. To bore a hole through the
rock he set off light blast. The
explosion Jared the house OF the
woman with the chickens.
Gathering her skirts in her hands
she made straight for the place where
the plumber was at work.
"You much stop that blasting this
minute" she exclaimed.
The plumber protested that it was
such a light charge it couldn't posi-
oily do any damage to window panes
Or crcckery.
That doesn't make any difference"
said the woman eHlphatiCally, I've
got sitting hen. She's afraid it'll
break the eggs and it distracts her

STRANGE DOGS OF ALASKA
Most Common Breed Is the Malamute
or Native Dog-Are Wonderfui
Workers.

Dogs In Alaska are OF all breed and
size, the most common being the mala-
mute, or native dog, says writer IN
the Wide World Magazine. The WORD
"malamute" IS an Indian word mean
ing Eskimo, and IS applied to Dotn
dogs and natives. The malamute IS OF
the wolf stra!n-in fact, the best or
the breed are half wolf. They eVlnce
all the characteristics OF the vol, DOLE
In appearance and in manners. OW-
ing to his wolf-llke fur. the maiamute
can easily stand the extreme Alaskan
cold. He Is born fighter, an inVet-
crate thief, and somewhat of coward.
for he will seldom fight singly against
a lone adversary The malamute, while
we'll able to withstand the cold, does
not seem to have the same order or III
telligence as is displayed by the out
side dog, and the best dog for Alaska
would seem to be q mixture OF the
two strains.
Another native breed in the north
Is the huskie, but this breed IS rarer
than common usage of the word would
imply. The real huskies are bred IN
the neIghborhood of the Mackenzie
river, and are more common IN the ter
ritory under the Jurisdiction of the
Hudson Bay company than IN Alaska.
Small dogs, such as fox terriers, are
a rarity in Alaska, for in that country
a dog Is valuable In exact proportion
to the amount he can pull. 4 sleigh
dog will weigh anything from 80 to
$50 pounds, the average being about
rs pounds. It Is surprising TO the I'M
Initiated how big load dog can pull,
though I must admit have never seen
or heard Of dog In Alaska pulling
1000 pounds, under the conditions de-
scribed In q well-known noVelists
book; nor have ever seen or heard
of a dog-flght as pictured so wildly
in the story in which he graphically
describes a fight where two dogs are
battling for supremacy in the team,
and the remainder of the dogs sit on
their launches and form ring around
the contestants, who. under these
conditions l suppose would fight it
out under Marquis OF Queensbury
rules. I question whether such a
light ever occurred In natural history.
II there are two Alaskan dogs fight
ing, and 40 non-interested dogs In the
neIghborhood, the fight will soon in
volve itself Into one dog underneath
and d dogs on top. The idea Of an
Alaskan dog calmly sitting on his
launches and coolly viewing the fight
Is too funny for anything; the joke
can only be appreciated by those who
have seen a bunch of malamutes in a
Sight.
