AIREDALE DOG MAKES
 GAME FIGHT FOR LIFE
Secretary.
tKetchikan Chronicle)

This is the sstory of an Airedale and a.gentleman. It shows the stuff of which the Airedale family are made. A dog of that breed never gives up, never even falters. but carries on till the last and finally goes down with the fighting spirit uppermost. But "Jack" did not go down.
 Jack is the property of Tom Ter sten, a trapper who lives out the Charcoal Point road. He is only a puppy, less than two years old, the son of Sam, a thoroughbred. The old man, Sam, has long since ceased ceased foraging on his own, going afield only when his master goes to look at his trap line. But Jack, the kid, has not yet been weaned from his boyhood inquisitiveness and of ten goes out to explore the country back of Mahoney heights.
 On Sunday, January ', Jack indu- ced neighbours dog to accompany him on one of his excursions of dis covery. They roamed the woods in

the mountains back of the city until Jack stepped in trap. The neigh DOTS dog, not being an Airedale and a gentleman, went home, leaving his pal fast in the jaws of the trap.
 That was on Sunday, the seventh. Mr. Lersten, who knows and loves his dogs, tells. his version of Jacks mishap and subsequent trials as fol- lows:
 There is no doubt that Jack was caught in the trap at last five miles from the city. It was a No, l 12 Newhouse trap, set by another trap per for marten. It caught the left forefoot of the dog, making fast to three toes There is no way in the world in which he could have brok- en the chain as he did, without grasping it in his teeth and jerking it apart. This believe he did as soon as he discovered his predica ment.
 "On Friday, the 18th, I learned that trapper had reported that wolf had been caught in one of his traps and carried it away. I knew right away that it was my Jack in stead of a wolf and went to the hills immediately with Sam to find | bin, Nn tho a durino which Sam ran ahead of me all the time, evidently understanding fully tn object of our trip, and keeping up constant barking. We saw no signs of the missing dog, however, and when night came I returned to the city, coming down over the tram way into town, instead of going in the direct direction of my home,
 There can be no doubt that Jack had been dragging the trap since the Sth, being compelled to stop fre- i quently to disentangle it from brush or stones, with his teeth, for hard pull would have taken the toes of i his foot away in the jaws of the trap. He must have picked up his fathers scent on Saturday, and to show the stuff of the Aiaredale, he followed this cold scent instead of making direct for home. He met Lafe Hunter on the tramway late Saturday afternoon, who carefully relieved him of the trap, and he hob bled into town, meeting me on the corner of the Revilla hotel.
 'He was only a~ shadow of his ! former self when he hobbled up to me, having been twelve days with out food. I am giving him the best of care, which he evidently appre- 1 ciates, and I am in hopes that he will not lose the three toes from his 1 foot. Several of the nights which he spent in the woods were very cold, and the ends of the toes caught in the trap were frozen, but an Aire- dale is his own best physician, and have no doubt he treated his foot much better than could have done, were I with him."

pie should look upon themselves as
being part of the great American
middle class as this is the backbone
of the nation and it is a sad weak
ness when people of this class at
tempt to go beyond the sphere of their
rightful environments before their
financial condition permits.

"In our subdivision promotions, we
specialize in providing home places
at reasonable prices and We provide

We have helped many people into their

adopted of surrendering our lots to a
first lien TO the lumber companies

we ask to the people Of San Antonio

tors but the Spectator usually loses
if he does not make a quick turn.
Do Not Purchase Beyond Means.
at is poor judgment TO purchase
real estate beyond ones means. There
are many people in San Antonio try
ing to pay for a lot at a price two
and three times higher than they can
afford. 1t may be q temptation TO
buy a highly improved lot TO satisfy
n high minded desire, but it is taking
risky chances to go beyond ones
depth. When you have a couple OF
hundred dollars paid in on a twelve
or fifteen hundred dollar lot and
wake up to the fact that your debt is
too heavy for you, it seems hard to
lose the amount you have paid and it
is harder to hold on. Many n per-
son today in San Antonio is laboring
under such a burden. They who pur-
chased lots in reasonable priced sub
divisions being willing TO do without
the high priced conveniences until
city improvements come t. them
through city growth, are much better
off and hundreds of sensible think
ing people are living happily in their
own comfortable little homes, by
keeping within their means, while
their high minded friends are strug-

SAVE THE GAS BILL
Flame Should Be Turned Down After
Water BOils.

The following "Do's and Don'ts" for
gas users are suggested by the United
States bureau of standards, govern
ment department at Washington:
Cooking burners should be in cor
rect position. They should be about
ia inches below the bottom Of the
cooking vessel.
Rusting of ovens can almost be elm
mated by opening the oven door slight
ly for a few minutes after burners are
lighted. permitting escape OF greater
part of the moisture, preventing too
rapid condensation.
Remember gas is no hotter ten min-
utes after burner is lighted than the
instant it is lighted.
Turn out gas and relight 1t again
in event there is an interval when
same is not needed. Matches are
cheaper than gas.
Keep burners of gas range clean by
washing them in boiling water and
soda at least once a month and have
them dry before using. This will save
gas.
Don't bake a pie or biscuits alone
in a gas oven. Use gas oven to its
fullest capacity on baking days. Plan
to have a baked dinner when you
bake.
Use triple saucepans. set over one
burner. You can cook three vegetables
for the cost of cooking one. Ordinary
saucepans will cook one vegetable at
time.
Don't use the giant burner on your
gas range until you have food ready
to 90 on fire. Don't allow a burner
to remain lighted without being in
use.
Don't heat a kettle full Of water
when you only want a quart.
Don't keep a full flame under con
taincr when water has reached boiling
point. Turn down the flame or set
'utensil over small simmer burner.
