Bob Maley Tells Tale OF
A Wonderful Pup

III isn't instinct it's lust good old
common sense that prompts "a dog to
do those things that are called instinct
i've for lack of "a better word by un-
thinking people" Bob Maley of near
Moses. thotfully scratched the brown
head of Max. Highs" English terrior
as he pronounced Judgment ON the
greatest friend of mankind.
Il remember a dog l and my partner
had In Arizona" he continued we cal
led him Pup" lie was just dog; but
he had any dog / ever saw beat for
common sensc--instinCt. as they call it.
And the following story Bob Maley
says is the truth if he ever told it.
Pup was always doing something out
of the ordinary. once the mule we used
in going to and from town got loose.
We knew she would head for town so
we took a shortcut and came up with
her in a canon. My partner just hah
time to grab the end of the stake rope.
In grabbing it he fell, but as luck
would have it, he fell near a large sage
brush He had presence of mind enough
to take snub about that bush and
bring the runaway mule to a stanlstiI.
Pup witnessed the whole performance.
1t was only Il day or so later when COM
ing from the shaft we missed the mule
again. Pup was missing. too, but my
partner wasn't particularly worried. He
washed and built fire and then in
vited me to accompany him TO find the
missing animals He headed straight for
the canon where he had caught the mule
a few days before. And at that same
spot that dog Pup had grabbed the. end
of the stake rope and had that mule
snubbed to that same big sage bush"
That was common sense. There is
no possible chance that instinct played
e~- part. N"'r~- oogla not eNdow any
animal with instinct that would so cope
with situation in the animals life as
remote a possibility as stopping that
mule was in Pups.
we bought our meat by the quart
err, in those days. 1t was our custom to
hang the quarter about three feet from
the floor In n cool room and cover il
with cheese cloth TO keep off the flies.
One evening we missed Pup from his
usual place on the dump. We didn't
think anything of it, presuming that he
had seen a rabbit and was giving chase.
But We were wrong. Pup wasn't a friv-
olous dog. His time was fully occupied
in his share of the camp duties. But
even as well as we knew Pup we did
not expect him to rectify our mistakes
and forgetfulness as he did. You can
imagine our surprise, then, when we
entered the cabin and found that that
dog had sat all day under that quarter
of beef and kept the flies off because
we had forgotten to put the cheese
cloth around It that morning after cut
ting off the meat for breakfast"

SEEKING PEACE VIA
SWEDISH CAPITAL
WASHINGTON HEARS STOCKHOLM
Has TERMS OF PEACE
FROM GERMANY.
BERNSToRFF AT THE BOTTOM
King to Have Full Power to Make
Settlement and Kaiser Binds Self
to Abide by Resuit-Not
Much Credited.

Washington, D. c. ~ One more
peace report came into notice In
Washington, thus increasing curiosity
over the object at this time Of the
circulation Of so many rumors that
one or another Of the central powers
Is ready to enter into negotiations
with its enemies to end the war.
In this latest instance the report
was accompanied by details that at
tracted attention to 1t as possibly
having some foundation. The report
was that the state department had
been Informed by the American lega-
ton at Stockholm that the German
government had requested the king
OF Sweden to offer in It's behalf to
abandon ruthless submarine warfare
as an Involvement to the United
States to resume friendly relations
with Germany.
A state department official in a DO
sitton to speak with authority denied
that the department had any NORMA
ton of Swedish peace move in be-
half of the German government. His
statement on the subject was posi-
tive.
Rumor Gives King Full Power.
The story, said to have been based
on advices from the American lega-
ton in Stockholm, had 1t that King
Gustav had been given full power by
Kaiser Wilhelm, or the German gov
eminent, to make terms satisfactory
TO the United States.
The story attracted interest for one
thing, because Count Won Bernstorff,
former German ambassador to the
United States, was recently appointed
the German envoy to Sweden, accord
ing to statement from Berlin, and It
was suggested that he might have
induced his government to endeavor
to cause the Washington government
to make UP the quarrel with Germany.

Everybody,s Son but Mine.

"There's one kind of spirit we don't
want In America" said novelist, land
that Is the spirit which was too prev
alent at the beginning of the war in
England.
San English statesman visited Not
bingham, the lace-making town, the
other day, to ask for labor volunteers,
and the mayor said that Nottingham
wanted to do her duty, but nothing, of
course, must be allowed to harm the
Nottingham lace industry.
"Then the statesman jumped up and
said that the mayor was a survival Of
the old 1914 spirit, now happily dead
and buried In England-the spirit that
made each English father wave a flag
in August, 1914, and shout:
.sTake everybody's son but mine /! :"
