DESERT HERO KNOWN TO FEW
Dog That With Its Master, Was
Savior Of Many Lives Well
Cared For in Its Old Age.

Rufus, the dog hero Of the desert,
who has saved many lives, Is ending
his declining DAYS in dog sanatorium
at Pasadena, Cal, where he Is well
cared for. The end of the dog is
not far Off, says Our Dumb Animals
In a recent issue. He IS spent and
feeble after his many long and weary
Journeys over the burning and blind
Ing sands with his pioneer master.
He will no doubt soon fall asleep.
Lou WeStcott Beck and Rufus were
Intrepid pioneers In a llfe-saving prof.
ect that received scanty support and
tardy recognition. Together they Jared
forth on their mission Of mercy, Beck
carrying signboards and cans of paint,
Rufus laden with saddlebags OF re-
storatives and poison antidOte While
the man set up the guideposts, or
painted the water signs, the dog sue
cored many a prOspectOr who other
wise would have died miserably from
delirium Of thirst or the venom Of
snake bites.
The work Of these two great bene-
factors is over. Beck died In July,
1917. and since then the government
has appropriated one hundred thou
sand dollars to carry on the project
that he and his devoted dog started.
Rufus will be well provided for by
a veterinarian who was a personal
friend Of Beck's. The old dogs years
or hardships, Of life-Saving service on
the desolate wastes. are not without
their reward. His many friends who
used to see him on the streets and
pat him with approval as he started
out on his desert trips will not forget
him In his old age.

"Three Entwined Ladies'"

Of quaint beliefs. The Flemish kerr

the last words Of the priestly warning
have scarce died away before the fes-

FARMER HAD REAL THING
Peculiarly Mean Joke That Is Said 10

indiana Sheriff

"Say, sheriff" said a voice over the
telephone TO the sheriff of a nearby
Indiana county few days ago, this
is Ike Stubbles Well, Jim Stubbins,
a neighbor of mine that | been havin'
trouble with, is on his way to town
right now with a load of white mule
He's goin' by the COrnbread road and
If you hurry you and your men will
have plenty Of time to ketch him be

He's got the mule all covered up
with canvas tarpaulin on the back
of his wagon"
The sheriff swore in two deputies
and went TO the Cornbread road
The officers saw approaching them
In leisurely fashion a big farm wagon
by a man answering the description of
Stubbins.
Halt, in the name of the law I"
ordered the sheriff. "Have you got Q
load of white muller"
II sure have. l gotta admit it," re-
piled the farmer who by this time
sensed that somebody was being made
the victim Of joke, look fer yerself.
sheriff, under the cover there"
The sheriff raised the tarpaulin and
gazed on the melancholy form of a
real white mule which had passed
away following an attack Of collie and
which even then was on its way to a
reduction plant in the nearby city

Enormoua Sharks.

Sharks grow to tremendous size.
Rondeleti's shark, for instance, which
is an inhabitant Of tropical seas, at
tains a length Of 40 feet. The great
basking shark is even longer. A
young fish Of this species. brought to
England and set up, is IT feet In
length. Full grown, this shark may
measure so feet and rival the whales
b girth and weight.
Saw-fish have been killed 30 feet IN
length, and 1t is not for a moment to
be supposed that we have secured the
largest. The fact is that the natural
history Of the seas is still very largely
a sealed book, and that surprises are
still IN store for future generations.
