BE FAIR WITH THE DOGS
(Our Dumb Animals)

Only muzzle dog il it Is absolute
ly necessary. The wearing of muz-
zle tends to make dogs cross and
snappish.
1t does not prove that dog has
rabies or is mad because it froths at
the mouth. 1t may have sore throat
or fit.
Clipping the ears is cruel and bar
barous practice, wholly unnecessary,
depriying the animal of its natural
comfort and beauty, and injuring its
hearing.
II you must tie up the dog, have the
end of the chain secured to ring on
long wire, so that 1t can have the
run of at least 20 or 80 feet.
Don't blame the dog for showing no
ambition if it is overfed on meats and
sweets. Its health and spirits will be
of the best if it is given simple but
substantial food and allowed the free
dom of outdoor life.
Train the dog with firmness and fair
ness. The animal is eager to learn
what is wanted of it, and when once
it understands viii follow instructions
with almost human intelligence.

"NHAT night we spent at a place
called Pena Blanca, which diff

sheds, along with twenty or thirty of
our ships companions wedged tightly
together. A dozen other similar sheds
adjoined. We were all quarrelsome
and disincllned to take much nonsense
either from the natives or from each
other. Also we needed and wanted
food, and we had difficulty in getting

extinguished because the majority Of
the crowd would not stand for being

The next day was clearing, with oc-

to keep us interested. The country be-
gan more to open up. We passed
many grass savannahs dotted with
palms and tree something like our
locust. Herds of cattle fed there. The
river narrowed and became swifter

us rose a mountain like a cone of
'verdure. We glided around the base
of 1t and so came to Gorgona, situated
on a high bluff beyond. This we had
decided upon as the end of our river
journey. To be sure we had bargain

khx 80 aIlpfd m
ions had decided on that route we
thought the Gorgona trail might be
less crowded SO we beached our boat
and unloaded our effects and set forth
a to find accommodations for the pres
ent and mules for the immediate fu-
fture.
At first there seemed slight chance
of getting either. The place was
crowded beyond its capacity. The Ho-
tel Franchise, a shed and tent sort of
combination with muddy natural
floor, was jammed. The few native
huts were crowded Many we saw
making themselves as comfortable MS
possible amid their effects out In the
open. Some we talked with said they
nble to move because of lack of trans
portatlon. They reported much fever,
and, In fact. we saw one poor shaking
wretch, wistful eyed AS n sick dog
braced against n tree all alone. The
spirit was drained out of him. and all
ihe wanted was to get back.
