Dogs and Sheep.
rom the Chicago Journal.


Some agricultural journals are trying
10 discourage the keeping of dogs In
rural districts. They argue that a GER
tain percentage OF dogs are sure to be
sheep-kil4ers, and. therefore, the more
dogs are kept in any region the fewer
sheep In the interest of wool and NUT
ton, kill off the dogs.
The reasoning is faulty and the argu-
rnent futile. Even il the dog were a
natural enemy of the sheep. he would be
kept He Is necessary to the proper
education of children. especially of boys.
But In truth. the dog and sheep can live
together IL bred and taught to do so.
1t is a great exception TO lind a pure
bred dog that kills worries sheep.
This Is the crime OF the mongrel, the
creature whose mixed ancestry makes
him revert 10 ancient type and hunt his
meat wolf fashion. If a license tax could
be devised that would discourage the
keeping of these worthless creatures and
promote the breeding of pure-blood ami
mails, nine tenths OF the trouble betWe cen

Most Consistent Individual Scorer,

Closely.

The Engineers are leading the race in
the Patent Examiners Duckpin League
by a margin of three games. They have
won twenty and lost ten out of the thir-
ty played. while their nearest competitor
has won seventeen and lost thirteen. The
Farmers are in second place. The Print
ers are third, only a game and half be-
hind the Farmers. While the Engineers
are an even 100 ahead of the Farmers,
their lead may easily be cut down. and
there Is no certainty that they will hold
it for long. The play in the league be-
tween all the teams has been close. and
it is hard to tell just what the final re-
suit of the season will be.
The membership of the league is limit
ed to the members of the examining
board of the patent Office, and the great
majority of the players have little or no

sides his good average, and il ls> not
probable that any player will be able to
pass him in that line this season. Pierce
also has another mark of merit, having
secured forty-eight spares in thirty
games. Pratt also has done well in this
respect, having forty-four spares in twen-
ty-seven games. Weikert is not far be-
