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

debilitating disease, there is nothing 
to equal them. PRICE, PER BOX,

Symmetry and quality.—The Chesapeake 
dog should show a bright, happy disposi¬ 
tion, and an intelligent expression, with 
general outlines good and denoting a work¬ 
er. Color and coat are extremely import¬ 
ant ; as the dog is used for duck hunting, 
the color must be as nearly that of his sur¬ 
roundings as possible and with the fact that 
these dogs are exposed to all kinds of ad¬ 
verse weather conditions, often working in 
ice and snow, the color of coat and its tex¬ 
ture must be given every consideration 
when judging on the bench or in the ring. 
Humanly speaking, one might say—that 
is, in his relation to mankind—the Chesa¬ 
peake is a delightful companion in the 
home. He is intelligent, faithful, a play¬ 
mate for children and his devotion to his 
master is a marked characteristic. His 
woolly undercoat makes him practically 
waterproof. A well broken Chesapeake 
knows no such word as “quit” under any 
adverse conditions of weather. Ice water, 
snow, and ice floats are merely joy rides 
for him. 
THE BIRD OF THE 
ANCIENT MARINER 
(continued from page 706 ) '• 
shake its head rapidly and grate its man¬ 
dibles with a slightly lateral motion in 
order to work the sticky earth out of its 
bill, and will then resume its masonry, or 
lay its head on the soft pillow of its back 
for a nap. When its mate returns, it slow¬ 
ly, seemingly reluctantly, resigns its place 
on the egg, and, after a few hours of “con¬ 
versation” and caressing, it flies off to take 
its turn upon the wide sea. The huge bird 
steps off the nest, stretches its limbs which 
might well be weary from resting so long 
in one position, and then walks to the near¬ 
est hillside. Then, setting its great planes 
rigidly, it runs swiftly down the slope until 
it has gained sufficient momentum to raise it 
from the sluggish earth into its own living 
element. Then only can its real grandeur 
be appreciated, for, as it sweeps with 
breathless speed out over the blustery sea, 
it seems to fly with equal ease before, 
across, or against the wind, as though all 
directions were down-hill. < 
The Wandering Albatross floats high and 
lightly in the water, and is, of course, a 
powerful swimmer. The exertion of ris¬ 
ing into flight from the sea is so great that, 
except in times of high wind, it prefers to 
remain on the water for a considerable 
period after it has once alighted, differing 
in this respect from many small, more nim¬ 
ble seabirds. It swims about amid the 
schools of its prey, and fishes in the man¬ 
ner of the White Pelican, taking full ad¬ 
vantage of a long, hooked, prehensile beak 
and an extensible neck. Squids with bod¬ 
ies a foot and a half in length are none 
too large for it to manipulate. In calm 
weather it is so loath to undertake the 
effort of flying that it will sometimes allow 
itself to be run down by a steamer unless 
it can escape the danger by swimming 
alone. In swimming, the flexed foot is 
thrust forward until it is half out of water 
before the back-stroke is begun.
