AIREDALE IS WONDER

READER MAKES SUGGESTION.
Fasors Application Of Dry BOracic
Acid sop Cankrr~d Ears.

The following communication has
been received from Mrs. Eve Francisco
Of Easton. Pa:
Editor sporting Section. New York sun.
Dear sir; In last Sundays SrS you adj.
visei a wash OF borncic acid for canker.i
ears In dogs. In my experience the wash
aggravated tn. trouble to such an extent
that IL seemed necessary 20 put him gu.
of his misery. An old hunter told me 20
buy small insect bellows and blow dry
boracic acid In his ears 1t cured them UP
in week Later. ! found a friend on his
sorrowful way to have his dog chloro-
formed because Of cankered ears To
him I gave the bellows and dry powder
and again Il effected a cure. Moisture
only aggravates cankcrs In the ears
hope this may prove OF service to others.
Although II Is hardly possible for a
boracic acid wash to 80 aggravate a
case of ear canker that the patient would
have to be destroyed 1t is quite possible
that II properly used blowing OF dry
boracic acid powder into the ears would
prove more beneficial A great many
cases OF ear canker have been helped
by the boracic acid wash. and one OF the
leading English authorities on diseases
gives this as tho remedy to be used for
this trouble. However. there are many
that use the dry powder which seems to
&c, the same result as the wash. and II
is Just matter Of convenience which
method is used.

GREAT DANE CALLED
AKING AMONG DOGS
Title Bestowed by African
Chief Who Bought Animal
From White Traders.
HONOR WELL DESERVED

The savage or semi-savsge IL born
dog lover lie has the profoundest iik-
ing fer an animal OF noble appear
ance. AS he lives next to nature he
Is keen observer and he generally
covcts the belongings OF the white man.
Thus II was that one OF the famous
chiefs OF a South African tribe offered
nearly all he had In exchange for a
great dane which belonged to two
white men who. with their wagon well
loaded with calico. beads. small mirrors.
old guns and many articles OF other
countries. journeyed up to Matabeleland
TO get from the natives In exchange
ivory. antelope horns. gold and what
ever was Of value.
When the transport riders arrived
some distance from the kings kraal
headmen of the tribe were sent out to
ask them to come within the palisades.
Knowing that hundreds of dogs always
abound In and around kaffr huts 1t
was thought Wise to tic the dog 10 the
wagon wheel, and the usual rawhde
strip was reauisltioned and the dog made
secure. He then would have no chance
to chew up the smaller Kaffr dogs and
thereby create a disturbance among q
people not overfrendly with the white
men.
When tho traders reached the pail
sades they were surprised to And the
great dane had chewed through his
leash and had followed at their heels.
out came hundreds of ours barking and
swapping. but the great dane marched
steadily on--he was not in the least
disturbed. When the king was found
and the usual greetings over. he said
that he wanted the dog and would give
anything in exchange for him. as he
said in his own way the dog was king
among dogs" he had watched how the
dogs Of his people had run out at this
dog OF tho white men, but that the
strange dog had passed on. never noticed
the waAtrels and kept his head high.
He wa. indeed king among dogs. SO
here We md a notable appreciation OF
the Ethiopian savage for a fine dog.
