chell, along with other roads which
serve better purposes than to run
through land owned by the COM
missioners and their friends.
AS result, so it's said, the gov
ernor recently expressed to the COM
missioners his desire that something
be done before many more moons
have passed.
Making the Mitchell road even
more lively matter of interest is
the approaching letting Of contracts
for sthe two sections of the Parkway
in that section. These links will con-
meet Bull Gap with Toe River Gap
and when they are completed. it will
be possible to follow the Parkway
from the Shenandoah section in Vir-
ginia all the way to Asheville, using
existing roads over a small stretch
in the Grandfather Mountain sector.
Bids for one section will be re-
ceived about September l and for
the other about September Is. Both
were made possible as the result OF
the new congressional appropriation
of $3,15O,000 just made for the park
way. This brings total appropriated
for the purpose up to $19,500,000 so
far.
Construction of the new links,
across the Craggies from Bull Gap to
within few miles of the Mitchell
crest will comprise some of the
heaviest construction yet undertaken.
Though the two links will total only
l2.5 miles, it is estimated that they
will require the moving Of almost
as much stone and dirt as in build
ing 29.5 miles soon to be started in
Virginia.
Adding to the Importance of the
Mt. Mitchell road as one of the prin-
cipal attractions offered by North
Carolina from a scenic viewpoint is
the fact that completion of the Park
way will unquestionably add thous-
ands to the number of visitors to the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park, already the second most popu-
lar park in the United States.
For the first six months of this
year the National Park Service re-
ports that there was big increase
over figures for visitors during the
| first half of 1888.
From January through June, a
total of 225, 1858 persons in 1890 au-
| tomobiles visited the park, accord
ing to actual count made by the serv-
ice. During the corresponding period

Professional cattle dogs are found
mainly in the West, though farm dogs
everywhere are trained to take the
cows out to pasture in the morning
and bring them in at night. But dogs
like old Jack are not common in this
country. Jack was a Swiss cattle dog
who had learned to drive his herd
alone over perilous Alpine trails. Jack
knew the danger of a single misstep;
and he could tell what a COW was
thinking about before the COW itself
knew.

Police dogs are probably the most
talked about of all working dogs, and
the least understood. In the first place
there is no such thing as a breed OF
police dogs" A police dog is dog OF
any breed who has been trained for
police work and is actually employed
by police department. 1t is no more
accurate to call the average German
shepherd a police dog than it is to call
the average Irishman policeman.
The police dogs first duty is to be
alert every moment he is working. He
must be able to follow a trail through
dense woods or crowded city streets.
He must know when to bark and
when to be still He must be able to
throw a man and hold HIM, without
injury, until help comes - this. con-
trary to the general idea that police
dogs chew up their victims, is most
important. He must know how to
seize mans wrist and disarm him.
He must be an expert and careful
retriever. He must be good jumper,
an agile climber and clever at squeezing
through small spaces. He must not be
afraid of anything. And he must not
be vicious A job? You bet it is

2 4 pc ARE apt to think of the
w working dog as dog apart
w from other dogs - a some
what mysterious. vastly superior crea-
ture, no kin at all to our own ordinary
pets. Yet dogs everywhere are earning
their living in surprising ways, some
traditional and some brand new. The
tinker's tyke still digs truffles for the
gypsies to sell and does little stealing
on the side, as he did two hundred
years ago: but Cops" job is strictly q
modern one.
Cop is German shepherd dog and
his official capacity is general manager
of duck farm on Long Island. Cops
job is to keep the ducks quiet; which,
if you know what silly, scary creatures
Pekin ducks are, is job for anyone
man or dog. Cop patrols the fences
every day, looking for breaks through
which enemies might creep in, or
ducks creep out. Cop walks among the
ducks at night, conveying to their
almost brainless heads feeling of
security. Cop herds the marketable
ducklings into the pen where they are
caught and Grated.
But he really showed his worth last
fall when the hurricane swept across
the island, devastated whole towns,
wrecked dozens of duck ranches and
killed thousands of ducks. Cops farm
was among the hardest hit. The gentle
inlet where his ducks had padded be-
came storming millrace; water stood

Cops ducks were gone with the wind.

though, and strong legs to swim. He
went out into forests of half-submerged
scrub oak, swan muddy lakes where

back ducks, hundreds - thousands -
of ducks. He brought back almost as
many ducks as his pens had held
before.
