FAMOUS SHEEP DOGS.
THESE CANINE WONDERS CAME FROM
NEW ZEALAND.
A Batch of Stories, Illuatratinff the
Rare Intclllaci.ce and Faithfulness
of the Animals. Told by an Old
Time Colorado Sheep Man.
"The most celebrated breed of shep
herd dog ever known in the west,” said
Jud Bristol, the old time sheep man of
Fort Collins, Colo., “were those bred
from a pair of New Zealand dogs
brought to Colorado in 1875. I bad
several of their pups on my ranges and
conld fill a volume with instances of
their rare intelligence and faithfulness.
“I remember one pup in particnlar.
He was only six months old when he
was sent out one day to work on the
range. At night, when the herd was
brought up to the corrals, we saw at
once that a part of the herd was miss
ing. There were l.CQQ head in the
bunch when they went out in the
morning, but when we put them through
the shoot we found that 200 were miss
ing. The pup was also missing.
•Wbll, all hands turned out for the
search. We hunted all the night and all
of the next day. and did not find the
lost sheep until along toward night.
But there they were, all herded in a
little draw, about five miles from home,
and there was the faithful dog standing
guard. The wolves were very plentiful
in those days, and the dog had actually
hidden the sheep from the animals in
the draw. The poor fellow was nearly
famished, as he had been for 86 hours
without food or water. From that day
he became a hero, but was so badly af
fected by hunger, exposure and thirst
and subsequent overfeeding and petting
that he died not long afterward.
“This same pup’s mother was an es
pecially fine animal. One night the
herder brought in his flocks and hurried
to liis cabin to cook himself some sup-
l>er, for he was more than usually hun
gry. But he missed the dog, which usu
ally followed him to the cabin of an
evening to have her sapper. The herder
thought rather strange of it, but made
no search for the dog that night. But
when he went down to the corrals the
next morning he found the gate open
and the faithful dog standing guard
over the flocks. The herder, in his haste
the night before, had forgotten to close
the gate, and the dog, more faithful
than her master, had remained at her
post all night, though suffering from
hunger and thirst
“On another occasion this same dog
was left to watch a flock of sheep near
the herder’s cabin while the herder got
his supper. After the herder had eaten
his supper he went out to where the
sheep were and told the dog to put the
6heep in the corral. This she refused to
do, and although she had had no supper
she started off over the prairie as fast
as she could go. The herder put the
sheep in the corral and went to bed.
About midnight he was awakened by
the loud barking of a dog down by the
corrals He got np. dressed himself and
went down to the. corrals, and there
found the dog with a band of about 50
sheep, which had strayed off during the
previous day without ^the herder’s
knowledge; but the poor dog knew it,
and also knew that they onght to be
corralled, and she did it
“Another good story of this same
dog: One day she was sent out with a
new herder to an outlying ranch some
15 miles distant. That night she came
home, and by her actions told us that
there was something wrong at the
ranch Well, we mounted our bronchos
and went over to the ranch, and very
soon found out what the matter was
The new herder was simply a -tramp,
who as soon as he had got a good feed
had lit out and left the sheep nncared
for save by hie more faithful compan
ion, the dog. —
“One time we had a tenderfoot come
to work for us, and the boys had filled
him bo full of hair raising stories that
he never went out on the range without
expecting to be either eaten by hears or
scalped by Indians. One day he came
running to the house, all out of iireath,
declaring that he had seen a bew. We
laughed at him and sent him back to
the range
“A few days afterward he came in
again, more scared than ever, and said
it was a bear that time sure Well, we
took our guns and a foxhound and went
out, and, sure enough, over on a hill
we saw a large black animal. It wasn’t
a bear, but we couldn’t make out ex
actly what it was. We sent the hound
and the shepherd dog that was tending
the herd out on its trail, while we fol
lowed on foot The dogs chased the ani
mal over he hill out of sight Soon the
shepherd dog came trotting leisurely
back and took her place with the herd
again. Over in a gulch we found the
hound standing over a dead animal,
which upon examination we found to
be a big black Mexican sheep. Now,
that shepherd dog. as soon as die found
it was nothing but a sheep, had given
np the chase and returned to her flock.
She knew it was not game and of no
account while the hound had followed
the trail and killed the sheep. ’ —Den

Some Advice.
“I would advise the young man,

age they will all be dead and can’t bor-

“The Beat Uld Pinna.”
“When I was a young fellow, I was
a dreamer,” said a benevolent citizen.
I thought that my greatest pleasure
would be to give money to the poor and
live a life of simple, unworldly devo
tion and gentleness. That was when 1
was about 20.
At 25 I came into some money r “h-
er unexpectedly. The first thing 1 uid
was to give a dinner. I got tipsy—the
first time in my life. I had a fight with
a waiter and nearly punched his eye
out I was arrested and had to be bailed
out by my lawyer. The waiter sued me
for damages, and I was so angry with
him and myself and the downfall of my
great ideals that I refused to compro
mise as my lawyer advised. The waiter
lost most of his savings in fees and ex
pense^ and his family came wailing to
ask me to pay his doctor’s bills and help
him get a position and they would drop
the suit.
“I came to my senses and did more
than that for them. My old ideas, modi
fied and modernized, took hold of me
again, and while I am a hard headed
business man today most of my friends
are poor people. But my first use of
money shows bow flimsy the pedestals
of most ideals are and how foolish it is
to say what we would do if we could.”

FRESH AIR AND FOOD.
THE BLACK FOREST SURE CURE FOR
CONSUMPTION.
She Was Unable to (let Out of the Burning
Building in Which She Lived Alone—She
Had Reached the Advanced Age of One
Hundred and Four Years.
Comer, Ga., March 8—Miss Lillie
Coker, residing in the northern part of
the conutyand whose age was known
by the records to be one hundred and
four years, was burned to death last
night in the little cottage where she
lived alone, the fire originating in the
house from some unknown cause.
The cottage was completely destroyed,,
with all its belongings, and nothing
seems to have been known of th.
catastrophe until thismoruing when
passersby noticed the rains and f««m.
in the midst of them the charred l>- <1
of Miss Coker. "
An investigation into the cause ••
the fire will probably be instituted in
the next few days.
He Told the Lawyer.
Lawyer S. is well known for his un
comely habits. He cuts his hair about
four times a year and the rest of the
time looks decidedly ragged about t|ie
ears. He was making a witness describe
a barn which figured in his last case.
“How long had the barn been built t”
“Oh. I don’t know. About a yeai
mebby. About nine months p’r’aps.”
.“But just how long? Tell the jury
how long it had bean built.”
“Well, I don’t know exactly. Quite
a while.”
“Now. Mr. B., you pass for an intel
ligent farmer, and yet you can’t tell me
how old this barn is, and you have lived
on the next farm for ten years. Can
you tell me how old your own barn is?
Come now, tell ns how old your own
house is, if you think yon know.”
Quick as lightning the old farmer re
plied:
‘You want to know how old my house
is, do ye? Well, it’s jnst about as old
as yon be and needs the roof seeing to
about as bad.”
In the roar that followed the witness
stepped down, and Lawyer S. didn’t
call him back.—London Globe.

Where Coleridge Was Wanting,
Coleridge has a lamentable want of
voluntary power. If he is excited by
remark in company he will pour forth
in. an evening, without apparent effort,
what would furnish matter for a hun
dred essays. But the moment that he is
to write not from present impulse bnt
from preordained deliberation his pow
ers fail him, and I believe that there
are times when he conld not pen the
commonest notes. He is one of those
minds who, except in inspired moods,
can do nothing, and bis inspirations are
all oral and not scripturaL And when
he is inspired he surpasses, in my opin
ion, all that conld be thought or imag
ined of a human being.—“Charles

So Medicine*. No Inoculation, Ka
Coddling—Simply Pare Air Day and
Iflglit, Enormous Menls, Carefully
' Regulated Exercise and Rest.
There is an interesting article in The
Nineteenth Century in which Mr. J.
A. Gibson tells how he was cured of
consumption. Mr. Gibson found him
self, at the age of 28, suffering from
acute phthisis. His case was pronounced
to he desperate by the doctors. He
weighed only 9 stone 7 pounds, and the
disease had such a hold upon him that
Jie never expected to recover. However,
he went off into the country, as the
doctors advised 1 , and after three months
of complete rest and a diet of more
than half a gallon of milk a day he had
put on a few pounds’ weight. Then a
friend urged him to go to Nordrach in
the Black forest and place himself un
der Dr. Walther.
He did so, and in four months he
came hack to England in a state of bar
baric health, weighing 12}* stone and
with a chest measurement to correspond.
What was this magical treatment of Dr.
Walther? Nourishment, rest and fresh
air—no medicines, no inoculation, no
coddling, hut simply open windows day
and night, enormous meals and careful
ly regulated exercise and rest.
It sounds an easy enre, and it began
to take effect instantaneously in Mr.
Gibson’s case The first thing was to
gain in weight, and with this object in
view Dr. Walther fairly crammed his
patient Mr. Gibson gained in weight
Everybody else gained in weight There
was a competition as to who should
gain most and people ate for dear life,
with an eye on the scala
“We used to say among ourselves, ”
writes Air. Gibson, “that we had to eat
three times the ordinary amount of food
—one portion to replace natural waste,
a second portion to replace the extra
waste from the disease and a third por
tion to put on weight so that the system
might be strengthened and finally get
the better of the diseasa” Everybody
had to lie down for an hour before |
meals. To bed at 9 and up at 7; break
fast at 8, dinner at 1, supper at 7—this j
was the day’s routine, with a walk at
a snail’s paca
From the moment of arrival until I
leaving Nordrach the patient never
breathes one breath of any but the
purest air, as Nordrach is in the Black
forest, at an elevation of 1,500 feet,
surrounded by trees, and a long way I
from a town or even a village. The
casement windows of the sanitarium are
kept wide open day and night, snmmer
and winter, and in some instances the
windows are taken completely out of |
the frames.

There is a popular idea
that this disease is caused
by exposure to cold, and that
some localities are infected

Such conditions frequently
promote the development
of the disease, but From
the fact that this ailment

is shown to be hereditary,
and consequently a disease

The largest bridge in existence is not,

This bridge, comparatively little known,

It is situated near to Sangang and
the Yellow sea. and measures not less
than eight miles and a "half.
The Bridge of Lions, as it is called, is
supported by 300 immense arches and
its foundation is 21 meters under wa

bridge is a marble statue of a lion, three
times larger than life size. The coup
