SOME DOGS RETAIN
THEIR SANITY STILL
(By p. TO

OF muzzled dogs there is no end.
Big dogs, medium-sized dogs and wee
fuzzy dogs, all wearing waste paper
baskets and detected air. 1t is all
new to them and it is doubtful if they
understand what it means. The oldest
dog in town cannot look backward
and recall a similar epidenmic of muz-
zles. Even if he could what good
would it do? His mouth is wired
shut.
Surely, the dog just now leads a
precarious existence. If he frets
over his muzzle and voices discomfort
he is considered rabid and is killed.
If he eludes the muzzlng process and
fees to the cities Of refuge someone
sees him enroute and raises the cry:
mad dog Soon an armed force is
after him,-men with guns, hay-knives
and cottonwood clubs. The dog is
pursued by man armed to the teeth
and wearing stove pipes on his legs.
There is an attendant metallic tinkle
and cloud of SCOT. What dog would
not act queer" with this on his trial?
However, of late he wears a re-
decree most philosophical. The writer
knows Of one-a fat curly-haired do
which seems quite prevalent at lunch
time. He has been taught from child
hood to do tricks for his food One
of these is to balance a piece of meat
on the tip of his nose as he sits erect,
awaiting the count of three" which
is his signal to snap the morsel and
eat it. 1t is very neat spectacle and
quite pleasing to all, especially the
dog.
However, of late ewears re-
modelled calf-muzzle, and has become
more sedate and introspective
Come, Bud, old dog" says some
one at noon-time. Come here old
timer, here's nice piece of meat. Sit
up! Sit up, say" And he lays the
piece daintily on the dogs muzzle
looking very solemn at Bud but ex-
changing sly winks with the boys
around him. He commences to count
One, seven. nine, three"
In spite OF the special emphasis laid
on the word three" the dogs cue for
action, Bud never stirs. lie doesn't
hear the three" at all. The muzzle
seems to have impaired his hearing
Still he sits erect, his paws hanging
downward in abject servility, the meat
still balanced on his nose, and his
great brown eyes rowing around the
circle 1t is impossible for him to
hear the different "threes" barkcd at
him from his men friends. 1t is he
now who does the winking.
Someone soon takes the meat and
loosing the muzzlc feeds it to him
which goes to show some dogs will
not get mad muzzled or free.
