The Dead Dogs Place.

The shepherd OF a Cleveland
Ohio, park whose dog has died.
says it is no small matterto buy
a new one. Anyone who has evel
tried to buy a dog to take the
place of one that has endeared
itself will know how true this il
A good dog is considerably more
than a piece of merchandise.
Bones and flesh and blood and
hair can be bought, and, maybe.
you think that these, in t h eil
right proportions and places,
and and animated make q dog.
But they don't. Any man W h O
knows dogs knows that it takes
far more than three to make one.
You can't buy devotion can you?
You can find men without devo.
tion, without gratitude, without
devotion, without gratitude,
without fidelity, but you can nev-
er find a dog without these quail.
tiles, for without devotion you
havn't got a dog.
A dog will die for his master,
even though he starves and beat
him, while man-divine man-has
been known to sneak away from
a friend in trouble, disavowing
all obligations.
The dog is always genuine, al
ways frank and honest and faith
ful. He shows more sincerity in
one wag of his tail than some
men do in a whole life time.
Speechlesss he can express more
love than a man can and he new
er expresses it falsely.
Men can clasp hands and pledge
loyalty; The dog can't. He does
not need it. His pledge of loyal
ty is in his every act and in
stinct. He has no other pledge
to give and he knows no other
loyalty.
The dog can't laugh, yet he
can radiate more Joy than a man
can. He has the manner OF a
true optimist. He can see good
in a man when other men can't.
He can find love for the lowest
and meanest, and his love sur
wives kicks; curses, desertion-
everything.
The dog grows into the life OF
the man he loves, and becomes a
part OF him-very often the best
part. Properly trained, he uner-
ring performs parts OF his mas
ter's work, and more-he does
work that only a has intellect
and faithfnlness to do.
And when a man has lost this
part OF himself can he go and
buy it again?
Notmuch! God is all-powerful
among men, but it Will not buy
a good dog. 1t will buy friends,
as friends go, by the scores, and
hundreds; 1t will buy human 10y
airy, as human loyalty goes; but
it will not buy u dog that can
I'll the place of the faithful one
that has died.

the alert hunter began to look a.
bout, and soon found that the
leaves had been raked up and
small twigs and bushes had been
bitten off, so he felt sure that q
bear had taken up his winter
quarters somewhere in that cliff.
After looking around for some
time he observed a Large fiat rock
we'll up under the ledge, with a
hole large enough for a big man
to crawl through near the main
cliff, but when he looked into the
opening it was so dark that he
could see nothing but darkness
within. Finding that he could
not see the bear, he made O has
ty examination along the outer
edges of the large stone and he
could see fresh leaves and small
sticks protruding toward the
edge Of the rock, and they ap-
peared to be packed from within
the cavity. After letting the
light in through the packing he
again went to the mouth OF the
cave and he could then see the
eyes of the mighty monster shin.
ing like balls. of fire, and when
the bear found that he had been
discovered he became enraged,
and began to pop his teeth to-
gethe. Harrison began to give
expression to his pent-up vic.
lence; the dogs showed more ex-
citement and growled with rage,
80 the man of the forest thought
it time to be ready for the fray.
He made a hasty examination to
see tnat the powder was in the
pan of his trusty flint-lock and
that his tomahawk and dirk
were in his leathern belt, so he
heard a mighty rush and bruin
was crawling out at the mouth
of his cave in attempting to
make a dash for liberty, but just
as he cleared the mouth OF t b e
cave the hunter fired and the ball
entered the side of the head, but
the shot did not prove fatal and
the bear started off down the
side of the mountain. The two
dogs followed in hotpursuit, and
as the bear was fat and heavy,
the dogs soon overlook him and
began to snap his hams; the bear
would wheel but the trained dogs
would escape from his clutches,
and In the mean time, Harrison
had reloaded and was following
closely behind. The bear was ma
king toward a dense bed of lau-
rel, but the dogs annoyed him to
such an extent that he could not
make very rapid progress. The
blood was oozingfrom the wound
he had received and every now
and then he would stop to shake
his head, and in the meantime
the dogs would snap him from
behind. After reaching a large e
rock the bear stopped and con-
cluded to act upon the defensive,
so he raised himself in an erect
position to deal blows to the
dogs, and while in this attitude
Harrison approached near en-
ough to shoot him under the left
fore leg and the ball went crash
ing through his heart
After taking off the hide the
poung man carried it and the
meat to the cliff where they were
suspended until he could return
home and get two horses and
help to carry in the result OF his
hunt.

Hunting Experience Of Harrison Aldridge
TBY L. D. Lowe

Hunting Experience Of Harrison Aldridge
[BY L. D. LowE.]
While spending the nightalone
under the hanging cliff, young
Harrison thought If he intended
to spend many nightsin the wilds
of. the mountains, it would be
we'll to convert this cliff into
more comfortable quarters, SO
he returned in a short time for
the purpose of spending two or
three days. He collected d lot OF
fat stones with which he built a
FIRE place with a fue to carry the
smoke away, then he fixed aplace
for a bed large enough to be oc-
cupied by two or three men be-
sides himself; and after getting
his temporary home in order he
placed a quantity of dry wood
and bark under the shelving cliff
for use in case of emergency.
1t is not to be supposed that
the first settlers devoted the
greater part OF their time in
hunting, however. 1t was neces-
sary for them to supply their ta-
-bles with vegetables and bread,
look after their cattle and sheep
during the summer months, as
we'll as to prepare forage for the
winters; and during the summer
months they killed very few ami
mails except squirrels and fished
for mountain trout with which
the streams were crowded to their
utmost capacity.
During the early fall after Har-
rison had prepned his temporary
abode, he began to look around
for deer and wild turkeys, and he
soon discovered abundant evi-
dence that there vas plenty OF
both IN the section hear the cliff.
Within a short time he returned
10 the cliff late one afternoon
with the intention of spending a.
mother night, but just before
reaching the cliff he sighted a
large deer just as he was passing
over the turn of a sharp ridge,
but as the wind was gently blow
ing from the deer toward the
young hunter the animal did not
observe the intruder; Harrison
hurried on until he was within
easy reach and at the crack Of
the rifle the mighty deerlay pros
trate on the ground. The young
man dragged the deer down un-
der the cliff, and as it was then
getting dark he had to build u
fire to make a light to enable him
to see how to dress his large
game. After spending the night
he felt that he had been fully re-
paid for his time and that he
then had all that he could man.
age to get back home with, he re-
traced his steps back toward his
home, next morning, carrying
the venison and hide across his
shoulders.
After spending the remainder
OF the fall in gathering his crops
and preparing a supply of wood
for at least a portion Of the win
ter, the hunter started out tow
ard the cliff with the intention OF
taking in a wide stretch OF terri
tory the following day, carrying
his two hunting dogs with him,
and just about dark as he was
nearing the edge of the cliff his
two dogs began to whine and
look back at theiryoung master.
He knew that some wild beast
was near, but as it was then too
late to investigate he spoke in a
low tone to the dogs and .hey
deslsted from their strange con-
duct. Harrison soon kindled a
fira nv means of his knife and flint

The Good Roads Question AGaia.

|
Editor Democrat: l read with
inteprest tine letter OF my young
friend, R. W. Matilda, on t h G
subject of good roads in The
Democrat some time ago, and
am pleased to get his ideas on
the subject, also the figures he
gave, which l know to be relia.
BILE.
l certainly agree with him that
good roads are of more impor-
tantance now than @ railroad,
for railroads are coming in on
all sides, making our traffic hea.
vier and the roads cannot be
kept up under it without some
different system OF working them
than we now have. Most of our
roads should be rebuilt before
any more labor and money is
wasted on them in their present
condition.
Mr.. Matilda gives the estima.
ted cost of traffic over each mile
OF bad roads and the annual ex.
penditure OF time and energy
added to the cost of keeping up
the bad roads, makes a total OF
$4,000. Besides this. we are
paying, as he says, many thous.
ands OF dollars OF tolls and 9th.
er expenses that might be credi-
ted to the "mud taxi. By the
mud tax" l mean the loss of
time and energy to teams a n d
owners, or actual cost OF using
bad roads, and the hinderance
to church and social life, which
would make many thousands OF
dollars more. l think we can we'll
consider the questions Mr.. Malt
ba asks, care We not too Door
to afford such a waste, and what
can we do about it?
Also, in a recent issue OF The
Democrat read with interest a
Good Roads Talk" by friend
John H. Bingham, who also en-
phasizes the Importance OF the
good road question and urges
steps for permanent improve.
ment of roads; and closes with
the question, "What are we 60
ing to do with the subject?"
If you will permet me, Mr.. Edi-
tor, in answer to these letters, |
will give q fey suggestions, and
will be glad to hear from any one
who doesn't agree with me. No
doubt our people have read the
account an interview with Con-
gressman Doughton in which he
gave provisions OF law lately en-.
acted by Congress to aid in the
construction and malntence OF
public roads throughout tn e
country. This law apprpriates
the vast sum of $74,OO0,OOO to
be apportioned among the states
for improving and maintaining
public roads over a period offive
years. The first $5,OOO,O0 is a.
vailable this year, beginning Ju-
ly l, and has already been appor-
toned to the States, North Car
olina's part being about $l15,.
900. This will be given to t h e
counties making provisions for
its use by our State Highway
Commission. l think we should
have u law that would secure
complete cooperation with the
Federal Good Roads Law, by
creating a County Highway Com
mission, a road fund by levying
a REASONABLE tax on property
and polls and providing for main.
tenance OF all roads after con.
struction.
As | have said heretofore, per-
sonallly believe in a bond issue
to make good roads in any coun-
ty, but sope of my friends are
opposed to this method, though
they would advocate a small tax
for road purposes. However from
