Major General Hugh i. Scott, the pres

TO be occupied for the next three months
by Major General Tasker II. Bliss at pres.
ent assistant chief of stan, who will reach
the retirement age in December, Follow
ing this the man named, II is assumed,
would be one young enough to serve for the
remainder of the war.
Although good grounds exist for believing
that Major General Joseph E. Kuhn, now
commanding the Seventy-nlnth Division OF
the National Army in training ct Camp
Meade, Nd will be the permanent choioe
OF the President, and may even succeed
General Scott at once, there are oflcers OF

PARAGON OF DOGS
Steamboat Captains Pet Was in
Class by Itself.
One Performance, However, Brought
Argument Whether He Was Wisest
Of His Kind or Plain
Canine Fool.

The bulldog of the Esmeralda, packet
freighter for the settlements between
Portland and Machias, in intelligence
and accomplishments, is reckOned a
paragon of dogs. In Portland he walks
uptown with the captain and returns
alone with any purchases and newspa-
pers which may be intrusted to him.
He even brings back meat and this
quota Of self-restraint puts him in a
class by himself, Holman Day writes
in Harpers Magazine.
One day, according to legend, this
dog was actor in an affair which has
been debated warmly ever since; it
gives rise to the argument whether the
dog is the wsest of his generation or
just n plain canine fool. There is no
middle ground among the disputants
along the water front. The event itself
was sufficiently grOtesque to merit
mention.
The captain decided to test the dogs
intelligence as shopper. Therefore
he put coin into basket which he
hitched to the animals collar and then
raped his knuckles on an Outspread
newspaper getting the dogs undivided
attention Lastly, he pointed up the
wharf and told the dog to "Git" FidO
obeyed with alacrity and went up
the wharf's roadway in cloud Of dust.
At the head of the long wharf there
was a bold terrace of a little park
whose Irish caretaker had turned out
to Craze his pair Of pet goats, hitched
together with short leash. The dog
dashed up the terrace and overlook the
frightened goats setting his jaws on
the leather leash with his best grip.
The goats leapcd from the embank-
ment, carrying the dog with them, and
landed on a fruit peddler's doing
horse a goat on each side, like saddle
bags; the leash held, and so did the
bulldog. Down the wharf went the
outfit and the terrified horse did not
pause when he reached the end he
leapcd over the rail Of the Esmeralda
and went fiat on deck In a tangle of
harness, goats and dog.
After matters had been set right, in
Guiding pay to the fruit merchant and
apologies to the goat owner, the cap
tain took Fido to one side and diSpar
aged his intelligence, rapping his
knuckles once more on the newspaper
and informing the canine shopper that
he had not been sent for goats or ba-
nnnnS.
"JuSt n minute. sir" broke in the
cook, who was listening. "Do you no
tice what you have been rapping your
hand on?"
The captain looked at the sheet. 1t
carried big advertisement of book
beer with goat rampant in the middle
of 1t.
