trude and prick any object pressed
against the ball.
After the dog has pricked his mouth
once or twice with this ball, he will
learn to pick it up and carry it in the
most delicate manner. He may then
be tried again with bird. This time
he will probably bring 1t to you with
out so much as rumpling feather; but
If, notwithstanding his experience
with the ball of pins, your dog still
mouths" the game, you must skin a
bird and arrange the ball and pins
inside the skin so as to prick sharp
ly upon light pressure.
Make dog fetch" the bird skin
until he is completely broken of his
bad habit Of biting or mounting"
game
With pointers and settlers, at first
you will have to give your commands
by word of mouth; but If you accom-
pany each command by an appro-
pirate gesture, the pup will soon learn
to understand and obey the slightest
motion of the hand or head.
After teaching dog to heel"
down charge" and to ''hie on" at
command, you may show him game
and teach him to quarter" his ground
by moving yourself in the direction
you wish the dog to go. The dog will
not be long in understanding and
obeying.
When your pointer comes to a point,
teach him to be steady by repeating
softly, Steady boy, steady" at the
same time holding up your hand In
course of time the words will be omit
ted; the hand raised as caution will
keep the dog steady; but should he
break point and flush the game, as a
young dog is more than liable to, you
may give him the whip and at the
same time use some appropriate
words that the dog will remember.
After your dog has been taught to
obey, it is well to put him in the field
with an old, well-trained dog.
AS every sportsman has peculiar
system of his own for breaking a
dog, it is scarcely necessary to give
more than these few hints; only let
me caution you once more against
using the whip too often. Spare the
lash and keep good stock of patience
on hand Otherwise, in breaking the
dog you will also break his spirit, and
have mean, treacherous animal that
will stink and cringe at your slightest
look, but seldom obey you when he
thinks he is out of reach Of the
dreaded whip.

House squad were putting Secretary
Joseph Patrick Tumulty through the
third degree. He was exceedingly
coy, and they had just gotten him to
the point where news seemed likely
forthcoming, when the young man
with the poetic temperament drew
from his pocket a small leather-bound
volume and cried out, ecstatically:
"Oh, Mr.. Secretary, have you read
this perfectly delightful little thing?"
The spell was broken. Secretary
Tumulty retired into his shell and the
disappointed news seekers went out

safety zone Gus Karger turned fer

By FRANK H. SWEET)
Most of you boys who live In the
country have dogs. Have you ever
tried to train them, beyond the throw
ing of sticks for them to bring back,
and a few such tricks as standing on
their hind legs, or barking for some
thing to eat?
AS boy, back in the country, I was
the owner of number Of dogs at varl-
GUS times, and until was pretty well
grown, this was usually the extent OF
my training And my friends who
had dogs trained them in about the
same way. Possibly some of you
have bright dogs that are capable of
knowing much more than they do. II
so, the following general directions,
learned by experience, may be OF use.
First of all, teach your dog that
you mean exactly what you say, and
that he must obey you.
Never under any circumstances al
low him to shirk, and even a naturally
stupid pup will learn to look upon
your word as law and not think of
disobeying.
Strict obedience to your word, whis-
tie, or slightest gesture once obtained,
it is an easy matter to finish the dogs
education. Bear in mind that there
is about as great a difference in the
character and natural intelligence Of
dogs as there is in boys. Not only
does this exist between the distinct
varieties of dogs, but also between
the different individuals of the same
variety. All Newfoundland possess
similar characteristics; but each in
dividual varies considerably in intelli-
gence, amiability, and all those little
traits that go to make up dogs char
acter.
1t is well for you to understand this
fact, that you may not be disappointed
or make your pet dog suffer because
it cannot learn as fast as some one
you may know Of. And let it be Inn

Early HumOr.

Gladstone, when boy, was visiting
in the country, and the farmer was
showing him around. Coming to a
field that contained a large black bull,
the farmer said: "There's a fine,
strong bull there, Master William,
and it's only two years DID,"
"How do you tell its age?" queried
the boy.
"Why, by its horns," said the
farmer.
"By it's horns?" young Gladstone
looked thoughtful moment, then his
face cleared. "Ah, see. Two horns
