COLLIE AIDS IN MILKING
Cuts Out Mich Cows From Hero,
and Holds Off Calves While
Milking Goes On.

Gaffney, s. C.--J. F. Jamison, who
lives near Gaffney, has collie dog
which is q most remarkable animal
His master sends him to the pasture
with instructions to bring up only the
cows which are giving milk, and Nip
will confine himself strictly to those
instructions. Then Mr.. Jamison will
tell him to bring all the cows. and he
will come driving them all to the
barn.
In addition to this, when milking is
in progress Nip will seize the calf
around the neck with his paws and
hold it of while the COW is being
MIXED. The above information was
obtained not directly from Mr.. Jami-
son, but from Sheriff Thomas, who is
a truthful man, and anyone who
doubts the statement will be liable to
arrest as soon as he may put foot In

Wins Marshall Fields Daughter.
In the following year Beatty took a
rest and married. His bride was Mrs.
Ethel Tree. daughter of the late Mar
shall Field, the Chicago me liant.
They have lived very happily together
and have two young sons, one OF whom
is designed to enter the navy.
From 1901 to 1914 Beatty did not
see fighting. In 1904 he was stationed
in command of the Diana in the Med
iterranean, and In 1905 he commenced
a spell of work on land. For two years
he acted as naval adviser to the army
council. Then he became aide-de-camp
to King Edward, with whom he was
extremely popular. Finally he became
naval secretary to the first lord OF the
admiralty, after which he got to sea
again. taking over the command of the
Aboukir.
When the war came Beatty, who had
just been knighted, was sent out to do
or die as commander Of the first battle
cruiser squadron, his flagship being
the Lion. A few weeks later he won
the battle of Helgoland blight, sinking
five German vessels and about nine
hundred men, at a total British loss of
80 killed and wounded. Later he led
the pursuing squadron which scourged
the German feet that attempted to re-
peat the bombardment OF the east
coast; sank the Bluecher and - aicted
serious losses on other German ships.
In the navy now they speak of hav-
ing the Beatty touch" 1t is high
praise to say a man has the Beatty
touch"
