The Collie Rushed at a Bevy of Old
the Fer
OI-D MAN NBOLET vras wntrh- |
Irajc the clever work of Colonel
i'rouse's young collie Id round
ing up and driving a neighbor's chick>dh
out of the t'rouae garden.
The collie rushed In lielter-akeltar j
fashion at a bevy of old hens which i
were scratching up a bed of newplunted
seeds. Hurrying and frighten i
log them, he rounded them into a ,
squawking and (lapping bunch and (
then drove them clean over the, fence | (
In a dramatic and noisy fashion.
Then he wheeled toward a flustered j J
mother hen with nix fluffy yellow buby
rhicka. No longer did he daah at the
intruders. Instead, he proceeded* In
leisure);- carefulness, slowly urging the
baby tx-ood toward -a gap in the fence
and giving their clucking and excited ,
mother plenty of tiiue to adapt her ,
pace to theirs.
Old Man Negley looked on with gp- 1
provnl. Then he turned on ColofleJ i
rrouse who was superintending the
work of eviction.
"That pup Is a natural-horn herder."
remarked Negley. "Moat young dogs
would have rushed In utuoug the flock
and perhaps trampled one of those
chicks. Your collie handled the whole
flock as cleverly as a veteran sheepdog
handles a herd of sheep. 1
"Kver see some splay-footed little
collie drive sheep In quantities? It's
a sight worth remembering. Out beyond
Red Bluff. Cal., I used to watch
a seven-month black collie puppy man- 1
age a bunch of 2.100 slieep. They were
stringy we'.here and ha could rnce them
without harming them at all when they
strayed out of bounds. (
"But when he came to drive a handful
of ewes with their lambs, he was
as gentle as a mother with a sick *
child?Juat the way your pup was with c
those baby chickens.
"It 1? the same with all natural
sheepdogs- It Is an education to watch
them at work. There Isn't one of them 1
that doesn't know his life belongs to
the flock and that he must tlirow away *
his life, if necessary, to save the dock d
from danger. Many and many a dog *
has done Just that. too.
"Did it ever strike you as queer 15
that a dog Is the only animal that will **
work for mankind of bis own accord; r
and even destroy other animals for 11
man's sake? Funny. Isn't It?- Your ^
cattle won't herd other cattle. Your
horse won't round up snd drive other w
horses unless there is a man on his ei
back to make him do It. ?
"No animal but tlia deg will work "
for man and hunt for man and voluntarliy
risk bis life for maa^aad for
man's possessions. There's a might* *
bond between man and dog that Isn't
found anywhere else In the animal ?
kingdom.
"Not only thoroughbred dogs, either;
but nc- called mongrels snd curs as
well. H?ejr'll die for their master and

hnn to let their valuable dogs be
uutilutcd. But a lot of poor people
-uuliln't ufford to par the tax. At the
lame time they didn't want to lose
hear pet dogs.
"So three poor men evaded the tax
<y cutting off their dugs' tails.
"Ill that way. pretty S4m*q. you could
ell at a distance a rich man's purebred
dog from u poor inuu'a mongrel
log by the fact thai the poor man's
Log had no tall. These poor men's
logs were referred to as 'curtailed*
logs. Then, pretty soon, the word,
curtail* was shortened to *cur.* And
tiongrel dogs were spoken of as *cur*
logs. The name has stuck ever since,
hough the tax was taken off long ago.
Jot one pers-m In a hundred under- j
tfinds how such dogs happen to be
ailed 'curs.*
"It was a cruel thing to cut off the
logs' tails. And It was an Injurious
hlng, too. For instance, you may have
lotlced. Just now, how your dog's tall
wirled around w hen he wua turning
harply as he run.
"A dog's tail serves as s sort of
udder, to help guide and steady him
rhen he turns suddenly In running,
"hat's another thing most people don't
now. They think a dog's tail Is only
n ornament or a thing to wag. They
lon't know It has a practical use.

eveloped Into the splendid breed they j
re now.
"From the beginning of history, the |
log hus been man's chum. It was only j
rhen certain kinds of dogs were found j
o be (he best for certain kinds of |
rork or sport that our caveman an- ,
estors bred those dogs to other dogs
f their own sort, to perpetuate the
est variety of hunting dog or watchlog
or herding dog or whatever type
hat particular dog happened to be.
"That was how the different breeds
tarted. Different dogs were used for
ifferent purposes and then bred for
hose same purposes. So. Instead of
ust one or two kinds of natural wild
reeds, there developed dozens of j
reeds. Some were good for handling
he flocks and herds, others for cours-1
ag game, and others as beasts of
urrien.
"The best of each of these varieties
'ere bred together; and In s few genrations
there were no longer Just one
r two types. The types ranged aa far
port as the lapdog and the Newfound'
tnd.
"Every century since then has seen
marked change In every breed.
"Look at the Australian dingo?a
eddish wild dog that Is supposed to
e like the original dog the cavemen
ad. You'd hardly recognize him aa
le same species as that collie dog of
ours. !
"Yes, If the dog has done a lot for
ian. then man has done Juat as much,
i a way, for the dog."

tion. Did you ever think that the
impiest inventions were the most
difficult lo invent? The radio was
almost perfected in a season. The
telegraph, reaper, and phonopraph |
were the work of days, while the I
simple mechanism of the modern'
firearm was the incessant labor of .
four centuries of toil. The gyro
compass, that automatically puides I
the fleets of ocean liners from port i
to port, was the fruit of a few short I
days. The pyro compass is a thousand
times more complicated than the
Colt's revolver?the study of one |
hundred years. Much has been I
discussed in regard to the most useful
invention. It is the opinion that
the handiest in the history of in-i
j ventiona is the open front or coat
style shirt. Think of the countless I
tons of energy that has been wasted I
pulling the old fashioned linseywoolsey
shirt on and off over the I
head for each individual three score j
and ten since shirt werinp began. I
More energy wasted than Niagra
Falls will produce in the next century?Would
have fought a thousand
Waterloos, or possibly a dozen domestic
engagements in which the rolling
pin is so often immortalized.
