only . years old. but already Medo
has become known to the police as a
bold, bad horsethief. He is out at the
detention home now for stealing a
horse and buggy. With big. black
eyes gazing with direct innocence in
to those of the police. Medo stood Up
and told them after his capture that
he went to Sunday school every day,
repeated the twenty third Psalm and
asked If he couldn't go home as his
mother might need him to wipe the
dishes for her.
But his record was against him. He
has been arrested several times for
the same offense. He was driving
down Seventeenth street and Sergeant
Russell. who knows him, called TO
him to stop. Instead he whipped up
his horse and was caught only after
chase Of several blocks Then he
declared the horse and bnggy be-
longed to his father, but his father.
when summoned from his home, de-
clared he had never seen either horse
or buggy before.

RELIANCE PLACED

Regarded by Italian Peasants
as Protection From Dam
age by Lightning

In the east. and also to a large ex-
tent in southern Europe. the charm
is employed with-th idea of ward
ing off calamities which are thought
likely to affect not only the unpro-
tected individual, but also his or her
belongings.
Great reliance is set on sharp
pointed stones resembling the arrow
heads of the stone age. termed thun-
der stones, which. having been found
in the soil in the immediate vicinity
of objects struck by ghtning-build-
ings. trees, animals human beings.
protecting similar inanimate and ami
mate objects from later flashes Of
lightning, says the Baltimore Sun
It is very commonly believed by
Italian peasants that the preservation
of one of these thunder stones in a
house Will not only safeguard build
ing, as well as the persons, animals
and crops pertaining to it, but will
likewise afford protection to seven
houses in the vicinity
In times of tempest the owners of
such stones will light candles in
front of the places where the charms
are deposited and pray for protec-
tion from the lightning flashes, MAX
AHe S0SA SlSiO al ODJSSA u SIcs1l uS-
yotion. A cook in a country house
whose fear of lightning was no doubt
accelerated by the metallic utensils
with which she was surrounded. used
to keep a thunder stone, now in the
Bellucct collection, on her kitchen
table.
Faith in these stones extends be-
yond the preservat ton Of life and
property; they are credited with heal
ing powers, especially in cases of in
fantile ailments. Collectors have dis
covered them sewn up in leather bags
to be hung around sick childrens
necks by ribbon; and even adult
southerners have been known to wear
the stones in the hope of being there
by cured OF some ailment.

CHICAGO. Sept 1S.-An advance of

BY JULIAN BRANDON JR.

The writer had the pleasure, week
or SO ago, of visiting the kennels
of a number of fanciers in Chico and
Sacramento Although 1 had seen the
majority of the northern dogs on the
show bench. ! must say that I was
surprised at the quality of the dogs
shown to me on my trip.
At Chico / visited the kennels of
Dr. Herbert E. Rodley first. His ken
nels. known as the Hooker Oak ken
nels, contain some of the finest Irish
water spaniels to be found in the
west
Doctor Rodley has bought within
the last year or so Erin's Drake,
Frisco Bedelia, Frisco Shaun. Tom
Ireland, Mister Pat, Lady McShane
Frisco Raby and host of other good
ones. Many of these he still has.
Tile Hooker Oak kennels are laid
out in such a manner that the dogs
are always cool. although the mer-
curry may be lowering around 110 de-
grees In the shade The kennels
themselves are well built and sani-
tary and are shaded by large trees
in such way that at no time of the
day are any of the dogs in any of the
runs compelled to be in the sun.
/ next visited the Firebrand ken
nels. the property of Louis P. Olker
OF Chico. Although this kennel of
Airedale terriers is not an old one it
has jumped to the front with a num-
ber OF winners Mr. Olker had been
quite an admirer of Airedales for
IL ever. been seen In show catalogue.
At the Chico bench show in May. 1912,
Mr. Olker showed a young dog by
Dunning Jack out of Siskiyou Rush.
Shortly after this he purchased among
other good ones. Graystone Reflector,
a son of Illuminator. He renamed. the
dog, Illuminator Jr., showed him, and
had no little success. Last spring he
followed this purchase by buying from
Mr.. Downer the good young one. Koo-
tenai Firebrand. This dog made
clean sweep in the north and was i'm
mediately sent to the San Francisco
show, where he won the trophy for
best Airedale
Mr.. Olker also has in his kennel.
Parkdaie Preface, a bitch that has
done considerable winning and is
credited with being one OF the best
on the Pacific coast A recent addi-
tion to the kennels was made when
Mr. Olker imported Resolven Lady. a
classy looking grizzled bitch. She
was supposed to be in whelp TO Caer
philly Performer, but failed to whelp.
Mr. Montgomery of Chico showed
me his kennels and incidentally some
English bulldog puppies that should
make history. He showed me a nice
litter by Smiling BERTHE out of Chi

Rosa. For the benefit of the fanciers
the writer will say that nothing def
mite has been given out by the Chico
Kennel club. and all reports to the
contrary are false. 1t is true that
show is to be held, but it is not only
not probable. but it' would be very
foolish on the part of the club to put
on rush show to appear just before
the ladies' show in Los Angeles in No
vember. The fanciers should abso-
lutely discourage the three weeks
notice show" This often causes con-
fusion of dates and dissatisfaction and
pickering among the clubs.
