. j Slit-p/tlio collie tUnt is being
trained to take the place of old
Sliep,- the eighteen year-old veter
an, at Ids lessons. He is never
whipped, not 'even when he docs
wrong or makes mistakes, because
tbat breaks the spirit ol a collie,
as, indeed, ol any other kind of
must ol
he
carry oflt' an order cor
rectly, or In such a way tbat the
sheep can understand him, old
Shop is sent with the same order
aud Shop Junior is made to keep j
still and watch him until it is cxe- j
cuted. His first lesson is simply to j
guard a bat or a coat or stick j
thrown upon llie grass by the
shepherd, and he is left out with it 1
sometimes until lute in the even- j
ing to show him Hie importance of
y, the very drat essential in
herd dog. Next he is taught j
her the sheep, to take them |
right, then to the left. After this t
he is sent on trail of a lost sheep,
with instructions to bring it back
slowly. The most important les
son, and one young Shop has not
yet learned, i9 that of going among j
the flock and finding out if any of {
them are mUsing. This, as may I
be imagined, is by no means an j
easy task with a flock of eighty- ;
two ewes and sixty-nine lamb's, j.
But old Shop can do it, lor he |
knows every member of the flock, I f
though to the ordinary observer
they all look almost exactly alike.
Indeed, old Sliep can, if his mas-
ter, the shepherd, is not mistaken

ami touch each sheep with his
fore-paw as it passes in. At such
limee he has the air of a farmer
counting Ins cattle as they come
home at night, and he wears an
expression ns if his inind were
occupied with an irtricnlc sum in
addition. Whether be is really
counting tho sheep or not cannot
bo said positively; but he has been
known, after noting each sheep as
ivpasaed, to rush ofl up the bridle
path and return with a straggler.
This docs much to prove that the
shepherd’s assertion that old Shop
can count the sheep and is possibly
not far from the truth From 1 Old

Well, now really, we dont want

Ohio wants to jump on the Demo

The fire very unceremoniously moved us
out of pur old store on the night of March
26th, where we have been doing business for
over seventeen years, but having secured the
store formerly occupied by J. W. HARRIS &
00., next door to Waxelbaum’s, on Cotton
Avenue, we arc again ready for business.
Some of our stock was damaged by removal,
and as the insurance companies paid us in full
for all such damages, we are prepared to sell
them at a GREAT REDUCTION and not lose
any money by so doing. We have ordered
new tools, fixtures, material, Ac., to take the
place of those destroyed, and will be fully
prepared to do all kinds of work in a few days.
We saved all our Pianos, Organs and Sewing
Machines, and will guarantee bargains in them,
as in everything else. Call and see us in our
new quarters. Don’t forget the place—Cot
ton Avenue, next door to Waxelbaum’s.
