Dog Knows Bad From Good Coin.

San Gregorio, Cal, has dog, says
the San Francisco Chronicle, which,
with the exactness of a banker, can
detect the difference between the ring
OF a genuine and counterfeit coin. A
few weeks ago some hunters threw
some coins on the counter of John
MarshalPs hotel. Marshall did not
quite like the sound of one of the dol.
lars. Calling in his dog, he placed
him on the counter. The dog care.
fllly picked up with his mouth four
genuine coins and took them to his
master, and left counterfeit dollar
on the counter.
Hearing that his dogs ability was
questioned. Marshall put the animal
to a series of difficult tests recently
in the presence of several coastside
citizens. Not in a single instance did
the wonderful dog fail to detect a
counterfeit coin. The final test was
to nail a genuine and counterfeit dol
lar in separate cigar boxes. After
shaking each box furiously, the dog
chewed open the box containing the
genuine coin and took 1t to his mas.
ter.
