THE PURPOSELY LOST DOG 
A S the time for renewing dog licenses ap¬ 
proaches, the number of lost dogs in¬ 
creases. Heartless, cold-blooded individu¬ 
als who deliberately lose their dogs to 
avoid the small charge for a fresh licence, 
or who are too mean or too indolent to 
take measures to have the animal merci¬ 
fully destroyed, should be punished with 
imprisonment, says the Shooting Times. 
There is nothing so pitiable as a lost dog. 
The poor thing wanders distractedly day 
after day in search of his lost home. 
Starving and perishing with cold he gets 
thinner and more hopeless and forlorn as 
time goes, by, until he either lies down to 
die in some wretched corner or else is cap¬ 
tured by the police and his sufferings ter¬ 
minated by the lethal chamber. 
A GOOD AND CHEAP KENNEL 
A KEROSENE barrel makes a very good 
** temporary kennel. A few shavings 
burned inside of it and then extinguished 
by turning the barrel upside down will 
thoroughly cleanse it. It is warm, as well 
as water and wind proof. In cold weather 
a canvas flap should be hung over the 
opening. If the kennel is placed under a 
shed open to the south, so much the better, 
as it will then be warmer in Winter and 
cooler in Summer and the shed affords 
protection from either rain or sun, with¬ 
out forcing the dog to take refuge in its 
cennel. In cold weather the kennel should 
■ye placed inside of a room. 
SHORT NAMES FOR DOGS 
"THERE is nothing to be said in favor 
of encumbering a dog with a name 
hat is a combination of the names of alb 
he great dogs in his pedigree. A dog can 
>e a very good dog, a really high-class dog, 
>ne that will go down into kennel history 
s such, and still have a very plain name 
hat is not borrowed from his ancestors 
cith the erroneous idea of securing some 
ff their luster. If the puppy turns out a 
rinner it is much better for him to have 
short, concise name that will individual- 
'.e him, not one that will be confounded 
• ith others of his family. In this way his 
idividuality and record will not be lost in 
ie family connections. Give your dog a 
hort, interesting name, And if it is neces- 
iry to use a prefix use your own name. 
CURING AN ANNOYING FAULT 
A ANY dogs have the habit of jumping 
, l! P an< i placing their paws on their 
vvners or strangers. This is bad manners 
all times, and particularly annoying if 
ie dog’s paws are muddy. It is a fault 
isily cured. When the dog jumps upon 
>u, grasp his forepaws in your hands 
id speak kindly to him as if you were 
ell pleased with his attentions, and with 
e toe of your foot step on first one and 
en the other of his hind feet. This need 
* be done harshly, but just enough to 
'ther him, and after two or three repe- 
lons of the lesson the dog cannot be in- 
iced to place his paws against you. 
either a harsh word nor a particle of 
mshment is necessary in this lesson; 
• St step on his toes enough to annoy him.

DENT'S CONDITION PILLS 
If your dog is sick, 
all run-down, thin and unthrifty, if his 
coat is harsh and staring, his eyes mat¬ 
terated, bowels disturbed, urine high 
colored and frequently passed—if you 
feel badly every time you look at him 
—eating grass won’t help him. 
DENT’S CONDITION PILLS 
will. They are a time-tried formula, 
that will pretty nearly make a dead 
dog eat. As a tonic for dogs that are 
all out of sorts and those that are 
recovering from distemper or are 
affected with mange, eczema, or some 
debilitating disease, there is nothing 
to equal them. PRICE, PER BOX, 
50 CENTS.

know how to treat him, write to us
