SHEPHERD DOG SHOWS HIS APPRECIATION OF
 VETERINARIANS AID

Many old and modern day stories are told of the appreciation animals have for men who relieve them and care for them in times of pain. but none are more interesting than the ap- preciation and wisdom of a shepherd dog that comes to Dr. J. w Osburn when it is in trouble.
 The dog called Shep was treated by Dr. Osburn for distcmper and was so appreciative of what the veterinarian had done for him that he always comes joyfully to meet the doctor and puts his forepaws up on the doctors knee to be petted.
 \ short time ago, Dr Osburn was sitting in his office about 9: 20 in the evening and heard scratching and whining at the door. Opening the door. he found the dog. which joyfullv greeted him and put his paws upon the doctors knee
 \ brief examination of the dog showed that his right ear had been bitten and torn and was evidently paining Shep. The veterinarian clean ed the wound and put on caustic to stop the flow of blood while Shep re- mained quiet in full confidence of the doctors ability to fix him up.
 Then after betting him and talking io him the doctor opened the door and Shep went home 10 his master. II. L. Haskell. but returned every few days so Dr. Osbu-n could look at the wound and treat il. It is d pleasant sight to see Shep come up 10 the vet erinarian who has won constant. faithful friend in the shepherd dog. Prescott Courier

West Wants Tractors.
East Wants Oxen

Representative of Connecticut Farmers
in Kansas City Buying "Cattle to
Work New England Acres"
+ Kansas City. June 29.-While thou
sands of tractors are reported to be on
their way west, shipped to farmers
from eastern manufacturers, there is
representative of Connecticut farmers
In Kansas City buying oxen to work
on Connecticut farms. This man is G.
F. Colcoid. an Illinois farmer, who
also operates in Connecticut, and rep
resents farmers there.
+ Mr. Co1coid attends the sales at
the stockyard, keeping on the lookout
for old steers which would not be very
good as beef cattle but which are usa-
Bile as work cattle. These he buys and
sends back to Connecticut, where they
are auctioned off to farmers. Owing
70 the condiNon of the hilly country
he states that they are the most prac
teal motive power for pulling plows
and farm machines.
Mr.. Colcoid's peculiar mission has
attracted the attention of many farm
ers who come into the yards with stock
and he has been the butt of jests at
the old fashioned means used back
east" when the west is turning rapidly
TO motorized farm machinery. In re-
ply to these humorous remarks he
said:
You know Connecticut farmers are
little old-fashioned. 1t is a common
practice among these Yankee farmers
in the Old New England states to cut
grain by hand and to pillow with a
team of oxen. All these cattle which
send back are auctioned off by the
head, some farmers coming as far as
fifty miles to attend the sales"

New York, June 2S.-Scant summer
styles, as exhibited in these parts.
have inspired the Rev. DR.. John Roach

Doctor Stratton wrote:
Mary had a little skirt,
The latest style, no doubt;
But every time she got inside
She was more than half way out :"
In a prose foreword, delivered from
his pulpit Sunday night, Doctor STRAIT
ton declared he did not advocate a
return to the old street-sweeping
styles.
There is a style for women's
dresses which is in harmony with the
laws of sanitation as well as the prin
ciples of modesty," he said.

Paris, June 2s.-Emotion over the

the dismay of the faculty. M. Seig-

into the lecture room with pink news
papers which, upon examination by
the curious professor, turned out to be
sporting dailies with long articles rela-
tive to the prospects of AN American
named dempsey and Frenchman
named Carpenter"
Professor Seignobos took occasion
to refor TO this in opening one of his
lectures. the subject for the day hap
pening to be Henry Tvs
He is reported as having said in sub
stance:
to see that your attention has heen
somewhat distracted from the study of
the history of your race by what seems
to me the undue Importance being
given a trivial encounter at ftStlcurfs
between two young men which is
of the sea. I have seen illusions in
the public prints to the glory that
would accrue to the French people by
the victory of Carpenter.
Il cannot refrain from mentioning
that the greatest achievements of our
race have not been thru the display of
physical, but mental power l have no
doubt that. Jack Johnson could beat
Napoleon in a personal combat, or
that Bergson would be found unequal
