WOULD DO ANYTHING IN REASON

At the beginning of the last session
OF congress all the democrats were
bemoaning the fact that their con-
stituents were overwhelming them
with requests for political appoint
ments. Senator John Walter Smith of
Maryland said that ne had come to
the end of HIS rope, and that there
were no more Jobs which he could
get for anybody for love or money
To illustrate how hard he was still
being pressed by the job seekers. he
told of a man having come into his
office that morning with the state
ment:
Senator. I know you can get me a
job, and you've just got to do It.

The senator replied that he was
sorry. and that the best he could do
would be to follow the example Of the
drunken man who was asked for aid
by Another.

SHEPHERD DOG DIFFERS
GREATLY FROM WOLF
Latter Has Slant Eye, For
mer Round, and Disposi-
tons Show Contrast

1t is being remarked that there IS a
great likeness between the gray col
ored German shepherd dog and the
wild wolf. Some canine experts be-
iieve that the dog is descended from
the wolf, but biologists are not so
certain The osteology Of one does
not differ materially from that of the
other. the dog and the wolf breed
with each other and the progeny thus
obtained will breed again with the
dog. There is one circumstance, how
ever, which seems to make a differ
ence between the two animals.
The eyes of dogs of every country
and species have circular pupils, but
the position or form of the pupil is
oblique lin the wolf There is surely
also a difference in the temper and
habits OK the two The dog generally
is easily managed. but not so the
wolf 1T is not improbable that all
dogs sprang from one common source,
but climate. food and cross breeding
caused variations of form which sug-
gested particular uses, and these be-
Ing either designedly or accidentally
perpetuated, the various breeds of
dogs arose and became numerous IN
proportion TO the progress of civiliza-
tion.
Man, as he became master of the
brute, bred him as it best suited his
purpose, either as hunting dog, a
swift cdursing dog or guard dog.
both for hts home and his foeks. And
1T has been in this way that the fac
ulties OF certain breeds of dogs have
been increased under mans tuition
and the dogs structural proportions

suit his own purposes so that the
dog should become more than ever
useful ais an aid to man. The return

DOG TUGS AT BABY BUGGY

Edwin Main Post relates an incident
which demonstrated the remarkable
intelligence of one of his Airedale ter
rfers- Tt will be remembered tnat
Mayor Gaynor recently exhibited an
Airedale of Mr. Posts breeding. The
dog in question is Empost Captain
Andrew, known as Cappie, and be-
loved and petted by every one, but
very fond of small children.
Cappie Is very fond of taking
swim in large pond near Mr.. Posts
house in Babylon, L. l., and the other
day went in from the north side OF
the pond for the first time. When
about 100 yards from the shore he
suddenly began to bark, paw the
water and dive under. He kept this
up for so long a time. refusing to
obey orders to come out. that Mr.
Post finally had to go out to him.
The dog was found trying to pull out
of the mud a baby carriage. When
1t was taken out on the bank the dog
made careful inspection of 1t. nosing
1t all over. and when he evidently was
satisfied there was no baby In 1t he
shook the water of his body and led
the way home.
Some people may say this was only
instinct said Mr.. Post, but believe
that this action of my dog showed an
inIetllBence prompted by q ICdSOhiii5
power. New York Sun.
