THE POLICE DOG.

II must tell you." said Jack, the po-
lice dog, that am not conceited but
I am very proud"
You see it would be so foolish to
be conceited. No one who amounts to
anything is conceited, no one at ALL"
The police dog said this in very
loud voice as he saw a little toy dog
near by whom he imagined was con-
ceited. The toy dog was toy dog
in size; he was q real little "Pom"
dog.
In an undertone the police dog said
to one Of his friends standing near:
"Some of those dogs think no one
amounts to anything who doesn't sleep
on cushions Of silk and have cream to
drink and cake to nibble at with fine
folks at afternoon tea.
But we all know that it takes
fine dog to be one who is not conceited
and stuck up, and one who is conceited
is pretty poor specimen"
Around Jack were a number Of dogs.
They began now to ask him how he
liked his work.
Immensely, immensely" said Jack.
"Why, like it so much that don't
know half enough words to tell you
of how much like it.
"You see," he continued, II was born
a police dog. But one can't be born
anything and stay that way unless one
lives up to it.
For example, you may be born very
noble, but unless you do noble things
you'll not stay noble. You may be born
snob and prig, but If you mend
your ways and like folks and creatures
around you you get over being snob
and prig.
But, of course, when one is born q
police dog it is a help. Yes, I come
from police dog family. For years
back my family have been police dogs.
They have been born that at any rate,
though all Of them haven't received
positions to act as SUCH"
Dear me-" said bulldog near by,
"'you do talk In a mighty and fine man
ner like a policeman or some one big
and strong and tall"
II hope don't put on airs" said the

police dog. "Im sure don't mean to-"
mo, I consider you sensible fel-
low" said little mongrel dog.
Nov I like that, coming from you,
sir,' said the police dog. II consider
that a real compliment. For mongrels
have always been known to be very
smart, very. They've made up in brains
what they didn't have by birth-they're
not so aristocratic, but they don't let
that stand in their way. They're brainy.
"Yes, I consider that a great com.
pliment."
you were going to tell US little
more about your work." said setter
dog who had been listening, too.
They were all standing under tree,
though the police dog was watching to
see if anything happened which would
need his help. It was rest time for
him, but still he always kept his eyes
and ears open.
"Well, I was given to the park by
my mothers owner. Then was trained
and taught how l should act and what
I should do.
"My training took some time, for as
I told you police, dog is not really
born one; he must be taught and
know just what to do.
I'm an assistant of this fine police
man near by. l help him. Yes, it took
some time for me to learn to be of any
use, but now they say I'm full-fiedged
police dog in actions as we'll as name.
II try to keep children safe and
away from danger who come in the
park-there might be dangers which
would come up suddenly. I must say,
though, that the park is pretty safe
place and if children keep out of the
way Of the motor cars there is no dan
ger at all.
1--WE helped catch those motor cars
which went too fast. I've barked at
them too when my master has stopped
them. It's so wrong Of them to 60 so
fast when they might have an acct
dent, and accidents are such dreadful
things.
But, oh, I'm glad I'm police dog,
for 1 can help keep order and that is
what a police dog just loves to do.
Il had to receive training for 1t,
though, did," he ended proudly.

The spirit Of the indomitable padres

country, fierce Indians, hunger and
thirst will never be forgotten.

On February 19 at 9 a. m. Fordson
tractor number 100000 left the as

Dearborn, Mich, slightly less than
Two and one-half years after number
one was completed. And here again
has Henry Ford set new high record
in the manufacture of farm tractors
via the quantity production route.
Although the Ford interests are
very recent entrants in the ranks of
the tractor manufacturers, yet Henry
Ford really built a tractor--of the
steam type before he started work on
his first gas. car. And incidentally,
that tractor and the first car, still in
very good running order, and Mr.. Ford
occasionally demonstrates both to vis-
itors at his farm in Dearborn.
Some Is years ago Mr.. Ford began
work on what has come to be the Ford
son. This tractor was really Ford
car equipped with special wheels and
included fcourse. some mechanical
changes. By 1908 he had a workable
tractor; it plowed, narrowed and did
much other work on the farm. Then
ensued niAe years more of experiment
tai work before the first tractor was
put on the market.
Fordson tractors are now being as
sembled at rate of $50 daily at Dear

a short time the Des Moines branch
will be in operation. There is also an
