DOGS SAGACITY WON
SAVED LIFE OF DRUMMER BOY IN
GARIBALDPs ARMY.
Intelligent Canine Quick to Realize
Peril and Give Aid to unfortu.
nate Who Had Almost
Given Up Hope.

Antonio Alright was an Italian
drummer boy in Garibaldis army
Captured in one of the battles, he
was sent to the "galleys most
dreaded of punishments, for it meant
cruelty hard labor and inhuman treat.
ment. Antonio was fortunate enough
to escape after a while, and deter
mined to make his way to Leghorn,
where he hoped to get passage to
America.
One of his thrilling adventures, and
how his life was saved by shep-
herd dog, is told by the Rev, J, G..
Stevenson in the Christian World.
ITO reach Leghorn meant journey
of over 200 miles, much of 1t across
terrible marshes. On the second day
Of his travels poor Antonio got into
quagmire, and although he tried to
struggle out again, he sank gradually
until his knees were covered with
the terrible mud. This sinking took
quite while, and all the time the
boy kept calling for aid. But in that
desolate place there was no one to
hear him, and slowly, very slowly in
deed, he sank deeper and deeper, un-
til his hips were covered.
Dusk came on, and the poor lad
had given up all hope when a big
shepherd dog appeared on another
part of the marsh. The dog seemed
to know exactly how Antonio was
situated, and also he knew the
marsh, for on much firmer ground
he came quite near the boy. OF
course, Antonio coaxed him, for he
felt that If he could get hold of him
and pull, he might thus be able to
scramble out of the mire. The intel.
ligent dog knew how to take care Of
himself, and had apparently helped
wayfarers before, for at every stem
he would feel the ground carefully
with his paws, and when he found
quite near to Antonio, a place where
the soil seemed solid, he gave a bark
and then he lay down with his hind

paws resting on solid ground and
his fore paws stretched acrosi the
mire. Antonio reached out toward
his paws, but it was too far for him
to grip them. So, after thinking, he
took off his coat, and holding A
sleeve firmly, he flung the garment
toward the dog. The dog tried to
get hold of it with his paws and
mouth, but it was just beyond his
reach, and the good animal dared not
venture any nearer. After several
other attempts Antonio made ire
mendous effort to reach over as far
as he possibly could, and then once
more he flung the coat toward tho
dog. His struggles to throw Il al.
most sent him quite under, but this
time the dog was able to grip the
other sleeve with his teeth, and at
once he began to pull. Steadily the
noble animal tugged and tugged. and
Antonio felt himself rising. The dog

PAYS TO SHOW APPRECIATION
Results Of Experiments Made In
Broad-Minded Way Have Been
More Than Gratifying.

The pride that most men or what
oper station take in their work can be
utilized by making each worker feel
that he is an efficiency engineer in his
own sphere. If he is made to under
stand that the problem OF efficiency IS
mt a matter of abstruse calculation
and lengthy red tape, but simple
process of obtaining the greatest re-
sults with the least effort, he is bound
t, he interested. If the expert poses,
not as a dictator, but rather as a
teacher-and proves his ability for the
yvie-the men, nine times out OF ten,
will respond.
Another feature of this get-together
type of proceeding that is important
is the giving of credit for good ideas
to the originator. | recall case In
point. where the problem happened to
be the designing of simple system OF
cards to cover a complicated series OF
operations. A shipping clerk, whose
interest had been aroused, offered a
suggestion which resulted in cutting
down the number of cards to be made
out for one department two-thirds. 1t
was customary to print in small let
tiers on all the forms Designed by
the B. V. Co." On these particular

latter, greatly pleased by this evil

work evolving other ideas, many of
which were sound and well worth
adopting. Naturally, the incident be-
came noised about in the shop and
served to convince the men of the
broad-minded attitude of the expert

Finally this fall there came the long.
expected word from headquarters.
Capt George A. Jackson and Capt.
Margaret Hicks were to be married
November II in Memorial hall, New
York city.
The personal preparations of the
little bride were few-nothing fluffy
or lacy for her, but just the plain, dark
blue uniform, with its touches of red,
and one broad white silk sash from
shoulder to hip.
But there was a bower of autumn
leaves erected in the great hall for
these children Of the Army to be mar
ried under, and vari-colored electric
lights shone from hollow punches of
tinted glass grapes.
No "Lohengrin" wedding march
pealed from some hidden organ, but
there was good old rousing martial
band tune with tinkle of tambourines
behind it. And no smiling girl brides
maids came behind the little bride,
only Captain Jackson's sister, Lieut..
Matte Jackson, as comrade attend
ant, and beside the bridegroom was
another Army comrade, Adjutant
Cooke. Lieutenant Colonel Parker
read the Army marriage service, with
Colonel Mcintyre and Lieutenant
Colonel Damon as rear guard.
