GERMAN DOG


st. Louis Globe Democrat: When
the quail season opened, the call of
the wild struck former Alderman Will
liam O'Malley of East st. Louis and
he made arrangements for his annual
hunting trip. He invited his friend,
Angelo Cicardi. to go with him to
Marissa. where birds we're reported to
be plentiful.
O'Malley owns Queen" one of the
finest pointers that ever ranged a field.
One of her puppies, owned by F. e.
Patrick, Olvey. Ark, is considered
the best bird dog in that state, and
another. owned by T V. Phelps of
Golden, Colo. is equal to his Arkansas
brother. Ordinarily O'Mslley does not
have to worry. about a dog when he
plans a hunting trip. bat this year
Queen overlooked the fact the quail
season would open in November and
WAS busy caring for a litter of pup
pies when her owner wished to use
her.
Under the circumstances, it was
necessary to buy a dog, so O'Mslley
and Cicardi purchased one from John
Huber. former sergent of police in
| East st. Louis. When an IrishmaI
and an Italian go up against a German,
the chances are that the German will
win. In this case the dog, for which
$l5 was paid, was taken to Marissa and
given a chance to demonstrate what be
| could do.
With one of the finest brogues that
ever passed through Castle Garden
O'Malley gave a few orders to the
dog, none CT which seemed to have
any effect on him. Cicardi. with
81. 0 invested 10 one-half cf the dog
tried his hand and talked to him il
the language of sunny Italy.
A flock of birds had been sighted and
Cicardi shouted ''Studio," being the
equivalent of STEADY" He ther
handed the dog this: "Vani %aventi,
which meal Ego on" A foolish
bird flew and O'Malley killed it.
Cicardi then shouted yanni a prender.
To-" meaning to tell the dog there was
a dead bird and he should bring it in.
That was about all for the dog and he
strolled to a quiet spot and Topped il
the weeds.

state will hold on one phase Of the
new urinary law that the impossible

vides that no petitions shall be signed

date OF the primary election; and an,
other provision requires candidates
for circuit Judge to file their petit ,ns
with the secretary Of state not lesl
than ninety days prior to the same
date, which of itself 10 q manifest
impossibility. Mr.. Richards, who
drew the act. says this was caused b.
error in transcribing, but 1t is in the
law just the same.
The secretary holds that he will
accept and file petitions for candidates
for circuit Judge. even though the sig
nature dates show that they were SO.
cured upon the petitions more thar
ninety days before the primaries,
which will allow the filings to b
made within the required time.

upon by the attorney general hold
