denly there was a rush forward, a 

 scurry back into the kennel, and an 

 hour later a few feathers told the trag-

With careful handling coyotes may 

 be well tamed, but it must commence 

 when they are very young 1 . The one 



blance which, to my mind, undoubtedly 

 exists, and this is equally true of other 

 races of men and breeds of dogs. I 

 have not the slightest doubt that you 

 have absolutely touched the right note 

 in saving that mankind stands to the 

 animal world as the representatives of

DINGO, THE LITTLE INNOCENT. 



shown in the large photograph was 

 owned by a friend, and was a model 

 pet. One sad day its instinct got the 

 better of its training, and escaping 

 from the pen it raided the neighbor's 

 chickens. Beneath that shell of peace- 

 fulness an eruption had taken place, 

 and a rifle ball ended the life of one of 

 the nicest pets that I have ever seen. 

 Some of my favorite covote names 

 were Dingo, Tobo, Blanca. Ticto, Rom- 

 ulus. Remus and Nero.

Dogs and Their Gods. 



I have noticed that dogs and cats 

 (the latter to a somewhat lesser de- 

 gree) are particularly susceptible to the 

 emotional influence of those with whom 

 they are in contact and that in this way, 

 certain breeds of dogs have acquired 

 not only a sort of national (or local) 

 "character" but actually a certain re- 

 semblance to the general type of the 

 inhabitants of the country they live 

 in. Have you c. g., studied the express- 

 ion of — (a) an Aberdeen terrier, and 

 (b) the typical Highland crofter? I 

 feel fairly certain that if you have, you 

 will have been struck with the resem- 



their God. — Leon L.Hymans. [ I do 

 not think that I have ever noticed any 

 general facial resemblance between the 

 dogs and the men of an}" country; but 

 I have often thought that when a dog 

 and a human being have lived in close 

 companionship for a long time the d< >g 

 does come to resemble its master in the 

 expression of its face, as in character.—

AYhat a lesson for human beings, if 

 a dog in its devoted companionship 

 comes to resemble and partake of the 

 characteristic of its Superior Being! 



Enjoyed a Day at Arcadia. 



I want to tell you that my visit to 

 Arcadia was the most pleasant visit I 

 ever made to any place. I was very 

 much surprised in the privilege ex- 

 tended to me in the way of examining 

 photographs and specimens, and espe- 

 cially in using the instruments. I found 

 your buildings, library and equipment 

 good and in perfect order. I wish you 

 every success.
