House and Garden 
Really, however, 1 should rec¬ 
ommend for a house-dog either 
an Irish terrier or an Airedale. 
The difficulty with the Airedale is that he is a tremen¬ 
dous fighter. You can never be sure in taking him 
out that he will not get into a scrap. I he Irish terrier 
is just as courageous, hut is less pugnacious. 1 hese 
two types, which are closely allied, are just about as 
nice as anyone could wish. 
The collie is the most interesting of all the dogs 
with which 1 have ever had experience. Read “ Rob, 
Son of Battle,” and he glad. 1 have owned a good 
many collies, and 1 never knew one that was not 
faithful and true. Some twenty years ago an Kng- 
lish nobleman of high distinction gave me a collie 
which 1 brought over to this country in the ” Etruria.” 
One day, a fellow club-memher who chanced to he 
aboard came and asked to borrow 
my dog. I watched him walking 
up and down the deck for a little 
\\ bile,and then saw him no more. An hour or two later 
he came and thanked me for having the privilege of 
using my dog, and 1 asked him what the deuce he had 
wanted him for. He replied that he had been trying 
for the entire voyage to speak to a beautiful lady on the 
ship, hut she had always declined his advances. But 
when he got “Laddie,” he played “Laddie” round 
her, until she spoke to “Laddie,” and then he spoke 
to her. The rest of the story is in the records of 
the divorce courts, d'he other day, w^alking through 
Lifth Avenue, 1 met this lady, and she had a collie on 
her leash. When w^e saluted each other smilingly, 
there was a recognition that dear old “Laddie” had 
been the instrument of her happiness and prosperity.
