DOG TUGS AT BABY CARRIAGE
After It's Out of Water He Jumps
Around Until Satisfied That
It's Empty.

Edwin Main Post relates an incl
dent which demonstrated the remark
able intelligence of one of his Aire-
dale terriers. 1t will be remembered
that Mayor Gaynor recently exhib-
tied an Airedale of Mr.. Posts breed
ing. The dog in question is Empost
Captain Andrew, known as Cappie,
and beloved and petted by every one,
but very fond of small children.
Cappie is very fond of taking a
swim in a 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
it was taken out on the bank, the dog
made careful inspection of it, nos
ing it all over, and when he evidently
was satisfied there was no baby in it
he shook the water off his body and
led the way home.
''Some people may say this was
only instinct" said Mr.. Post, 'but I
believe that this action of nv dog
showed an intelligence prompted by
a reasoning power"

NEW Departure

After two months of remarkable sales,
Arthur l.. Cheney, the enterprisihg drug
gist, says that his plan of selling at half
price the regular 80 cent size of DR.. How
ards specific for the cure of constipation

fund the money if it does not cure, has
been the greatest success he has ever
known.

stipation liver troubles, headaches, dir
ziness, coated tongue, or the general
tired feeling, caused by inactive liver and
bowels or disordered digestion, should

Royal Origin of "BIackquard."

The board of green cloth is respon-
sible for inventing "blackguard," a
word that has altered in original
meaning. When first used it was not
at all term of reproach, but referred
to the lowly but honorable occupation
of carrying coal in the kings palace.
Can you find any other bad word in
the English language that can boast
Of such royal origin ?-London
