Among the must remarkable
slag stories is ono Sir Walter
Scott told a friend about a bull
terrier -- the wisest dog he ever
had.
"Camp once bit the baker, who
was bringing bread to the family,"
he said. ,`I beat him and explain-
ed the enormity ai his offence;
after which, to the last moment
of his life, he never heard the
least allusion to the story, in
whatever 'Voice or tone it was
Mentioned, without getting up
end retiring into the darkest cor-
ner of the room, with great ap.
Clearance of distress:
"When you said, 'the baker
was well paid,' or, 'the baker was
not hurt after all,' Camp came
lorth from his hiding - place,
capered, and barked, and rejoic-
ed. He certainly had a singular
knowledge of spoken language."
An old book of dog anecdotes
mentions an Edinburgh grocer's
dog to whom a pieman once gave
a pie. The next time the dog
:heard the pieman's bell he ran
td him, seized him by the east,
and wouldn't let hien pass.
The pieman showed hila a pen-
ny, then pointed to his master
'who stood watching at a street
door. The dog at once went to
him, begged furiously, and on re-
ceiving a penny, carried it in his
:mouth to the pieman and got his
pie, This became a regular prac-
tice.
A remarkable example of can-
ine know-how occurred during
a severe snowstorm when the
fowls on a Scottish farm did not
return at the hour they usually
retired to roost. Presently the
house -dog entered the kitchen
carrying in his mouth a bedrag-
gled hen, laid it on the warm
hearth, ran oft again, returned
with another, and so continued
until all were rescued. Numbed
by the extreme cold, they had
crowded together in the stack -
yard, and the dog, seeing them,
;had carried them in to be revived
by the fire,
It's not only Scottish air that

In Melbourne, Derbyshire,
where cocks and hens used to
erten about the streets, a game -
cook fought furiously with a
etllag ba tam, Which got the
Worst uu it. Some peopre stood
by, looking on. Then a deg

the bantam ` his mouth and
it arried it into his maaterls douse,
Several onlookers followed ex-

trotted down the yard into the
street, looked both right and left,
saw the coast was clear, went
back, returned with the bird in
his mouth, safely deposited it
in the street, then walked quiet -
i+' away.
Then, writes Trevor Allen in
"Tit Bits", there was the canine
wonder belonging to a famous
Italian family, which always at-
tended its master's table, took
his plates and brought others,
carried wine to him in a glass on
a salver held in its mouth, with-
out spilling it, and held the stir-
rup in its teeth while he mount-
ed his horse.
A certain lady's collie, ordered
to ring the bell, did so; but if
told to ring the bell when the
servant was in the room, refus-
ed, looked at the servant, and
harked. If his mistress again
said, "Ring the bell, dog," he laid
hold of the servant's coat as if
saying: "Don't you hear that I
am to ring the bell for you?
Conte to niy lady!"
When a New York newspaper
seller was ill, his son took his
place and, not knowing the sub-
scribers, took as guide a dog
which had usually accompanied
his Lather. Trotting on ahead of
the boy, the dog stopped at every
door where the paper was regu-
larly left, not missing one or
making a mistake.
.A London gentleman owned a
clever spaniel. One day in 1792,
he entered the pit of Drury Lane
Theatre at about E.30 pen. having
left his King Charles's spaniel
locked in the dining -room. At
eight o'clock the dog immediately
ran to the playhouse and located
his master though he was near
the middle of a crowded pit.
A fashionable young eighteenth
century lady was taking a walk in
Tunbridge Wells when a New-
foundland snatched her parasol
from her hand and ran off with
it. Keeping ahead, the dog con-
stantly looked back to see that
she was following, and at length
stoped at a confectioner's and
went inside.
Failing to get the dog to give
the sunshade back, she asked the
shopman to help. "It's an old
trick of the dog's to get a bun,"
he said, "Give him one, and he'll
return your property." S h e
bought him one and he at once
surrendered the parasol.
A French newspaper is the
source of a story about a retired
businessman and music -lover who
got his whole household choral
singing and playing instruments,
nd resolved to bring his dog into
too, At every false note from
voice or instrument down came
hie cane ell the back Of his small
spaniel, who promptly howled.
In time she became so sensitive
to false notes that she instantly
howled without waiting for the
cane.
A shoeblack on the Pont Neuf
in Paris had a poodle who was
trained to roll himself in the Seine
mud and dirty the well -polished
shoes of anyone crossing the
bridge, so that his master would
get the job of cleaning them!
Another clever poodle, owned
by a Cheshire gentleman, always
attended church, staying quietly
in the pew whether his master
was there or not. One Sunday the
clam of a neighbouring lake gave
way flooding the road, so Only
a few worshippers from nearby
cottages attended. But the dog
was in his pew, dripping wet,
having swum over a quarter of a
mile to get there.
Bill, a fireman's terrier, always
attended his master on duty,
climbing the escape ladder, leap-
ing into the burning house and
dashing about to find its occu-
pans, barking loudly for help if
he located any, A collar was
presented to him as a reward for
his bravery.

in the field.
From ospital Bed
Direct To
Prize -Ring
It was about three o'clock one
morning when Joe Gould's phone
rang. Tex Rickard was on the
phone and he wanted Joe at his
office at once. Gould got into his
clothes and ran for a cab.
As soon as Rickard saw Gould
he shouted to him across the
room, "Eley, Joe, I'm in a spot.
I need someone to fight Angel
Firpo in Havana. You've got a
boy named Italian Jack Herman.
Do you want to go down to Ha-
vana with him to meet Firpo?"
"Sure, Tex," replied Joe with-
out a moment's hesitation. "We'll
leave in the morning."
The contract was hastily drawn
tip. Herman and GOulcl's end of
the purse was to be $5,000. And
Joe rushed out of Rickard's of-
fice to find his fighter. He had
forgotten that he had not seen
his boy for several months and
didn't even know whether the
boxer was alive,
Gould began to search Iran-
tlpally since lee was working
against £ime. Finally, after sev-
eral hours, he traced Herman to
e rooming house in Hoboken. At
five in the morning, Joe was
banging on the door. At last, a
sleepy landlady poked out her
head and demanded to know
what Joe wanted at this ungodly
hour.
"Where's Jack II e r m a n?"
screamed Joe. "I've got to see
him right awayl"
"Go away," replied the angry
landlady. "He's in the hospital.
Ile's been there for weeks!"
Shocked by the information,
but not at all dismayed, Joe
Gould dashed for the local hos-
pital and bribed his way to Jack
Herman's room. The fighter was
sound asleep. Joe shook him
vigorously. "Jack!" he shouted.
"Jack, wake up!"
Herman woke with a start, to
see wild-eyed Joe Gould leaning
over him. "What are you doing
here?" gasped Herman. "Am I
dying or something?"
"Don't be silly!" snapped Jpe.
"This is no time to die, Come On,
get up, we got to go to Havana to
fight Angel Firpo on Sunday.
Hurry up, you sap, we got. to
catch a train!"
Jack Herman shook his head
mournfully. "I can't go," he
whispered. "1 can't fight, Joe. I
got a pain in the belly. The doe
says I got appendicitis, maybe."
"Appendicitis, he says!" yelled
Gould. "Are you out of your

mind? For $5,000, how can you
afford to have appendicitis?"
The reluctant Jack Herman
dutifully climbed out of bed and
got dressed. Joe Gould got him
to the train in time and tender-
ly tucked hint into bed. Hearing
that ice was good for appendici-
tis, he instructed Jack to keep a
good-sized pack on his tummy,
and keep buying as much as he
needed for the trip,
Italian Jack Herman Blade it
to Havana and finally got into
the ring for his match against
Angel Firpo. For all his heroic
measures, Joe took a bad beat-
ing. Firpo knocked his boy out
in the second round but the
$5,000 purse did a little to soothe
the wily manager.
Then came the totting up of
expenses. One item hit Joe
Gould right between the eyes, It
read: "Ice — $260." Joe yelled
for Jack Herman and asked how
come.
"You told me," said the inno-
cent Herman. "I bought all that
ice to put on my belly for the
appendicitis."
"Why, you bums" screamed
Joe Gould. "For 260 clams you
can buy a whole iceburgt What
are wou trying to hand me?"
"I don't care what you think,"
answered Jack. "I needed ice
for my appendicitis and $280 it
is. That stuff melts, you know!"
Joe Gould had to give in and
pay for the ice out of his own
share of the purse. And it was
only months later that Tex Rick-
ard found out that smart little
Joe Gould had pawned off on him
a sick fighter kidnapped from a
hospital. It was much toe late t0
do anything about it then.
Grounds For
Divorce
The clerk of the Yuma, Ari-
zona, Superior Court received a
request from a Los Angeles man
for a certified copy of a mar-
riage license issued in 1939 to
himself and "a lady whose name
I have forgotten."
Judges of the Paris Divorce
Court got a new one to figure
out when a woman sued her
husband for damages because
she had had six children.
In Knoxville, Tennessee, Mrs.
Elmore Fryer, suing for divorce,
asked for her husband's motor-
cycle as alimony.
"While he never actually
struck me," explained Sarah
Sanders, suing Edward Sanders
for divorce, "he would go around
slaloming his fist against doors
and saying, 'I wish it was you.'"
William Wilson divorced his
wife because she took his false
teeth and held them for $2 ran-

Testifying that her husband
had knocked her out by hitting
her 00 the head with a live

for divorce.

Mind Golfers Shoot
For Seagram
Trophies
Uncanny putting that enabled
some contestants to average leas
than two green strokes per hole
featured the final round of inter-
club competitions in which seven
blind golfers were chosen to rep-
resent Canada in the International
Blind Golfers Team Champion-
ships at Lambton, July 21 - 23.
Members of the Canadian team
are: Phil Lederhouse, Prince Al-
bert, Sask.; Nick Genovese, Dun-
das; Charles Tooth and Harold
Mitchell, both of Hamilton; John
MacPherson, Regina; Roy Mee-
han, Burlington, Ont., and Claude
Pattamore, Hamilton.
The International Blind Goli
Championships are being spon-
sored by the Royal Canadian Golf
Association and the House of
Seagram. In tournament play,
the Canadian and American team
players will be competing for
three Seagram trophies -- one
for the team championship, a
team championship, a second for
the international in d i v i du a l
blind golf championship. Theor-
etically, the Canadians could take
all three trophies but still compo.
tition is promised by the Ameri-
can entries, same of whom have
the advantage of year-round prac-
tice.
In recent inter -club competi-
tions, several Of the Canadians
have been showing excellent form.
The putting game of Nick Geno-
vese and Charlie Tooth would
have done credit to sighted and
seasoned golfers. For 18 holes
at Niagara - on - the - Lake, Geno-
vese needed only 33 putting
strokes and Tooth 35, both put-
ting below the average of two
strokes per hole On the day, PhD
Lederhouse had the lowest ag-
gregate score in four qualifying
rounds. The Prince Albert player,
who operates a canteen and a
checking concession, shot 197 for
his last.
He Couldn't Lose
Strange story of a man's ingeni-
ous scheme for obtaining $2500
to pay for his fare home from the
East was told in a Britisil House
of Commons debate recently.
The man acquired for nothing
a thousand glass bottles and filled
thein with water coloured by
harmless matter. Then he toured
local villages in China, asking in
each if there were any expectant
mother there.
He sold bottles of the liquid to
each expectant mother for $5
and told them it would ensure
their delivery of a son- He prom-
ised to return the money if it was
to daughter.
The babies were born, 500 boys
and 500 girls. The man promptly
returned $2500 to the mothers
who had delivered girls and kept
the remaining $2500 to nee hie
passage home.
