THE DOG KNEW. 
! THEY were talking about the almost human 
itelligence exhibited by dogs on some occas- 
ms. Several anecdotes had been related of the 
yonderful intellect of canines when an army 
iificer, who is connected with the cavalry arm 
if the service, stepped into the ring and squared 
limself for a good one. He is something of a 
‘iportsman and knows a good dog when he sees 
ine, so that his story was listened to with more 
‘an usual interest by his friends: “It was down 
1, Texas several years ago that I came across 
he greatest dog I ever saw or heard of,” he 
“The animal belonged to a friend of mine 
ind was the greatest quail dog you ever saw. 
e have taken that dog out day after day and 
i would never go wrong, and would point quail 
{1 the most unlooked-for places. One day we 
ere walking into town from the army post 
there I was stationed, this friend of mine and 
| and we had the dog along. As we were walk- 
lag along the road carelessly a well dressed 
‘tranger passed us. No sooner had the man 
,assed on than the dog stuck his tail in the air 
nd assumed the attitude recognized as ‘point- 
lig” It was some time before we were able to 
letermine what he was pointing, but finally came 
ly the determination that he was pointing the 
tranger, which proved to be correct. We called 
to the man and asked him if he had any quail 
bout him or if he had eaten any quail, explain- 
ig why we asked. He said he had nothing of 
the kind and did not remember having eaten any 
lor some months. Turning to my friend I said: 
| “*Your dog has gone wrong.’ 
“‘Not a bit of it, he replied. ‘That dog is 
fight and I’ll bet you $10 he is.’ 
“T did not see then how the bet was going to 
Je settled, but took it up anyway, and we con- 
inued on to town. We went to the biggest hotel 
ja the place to get some refreshments and there 
law the stranger we had met on the road. My 
iriend asked the clerk who the stranger was, and 
jhe clerk pointed to the register. As soon as 
jay friend saw the name he gave a yell and called 
1e to come over there. 
“Give me your money, my boy. That dog 
Inew what he was doing when he pointed that 
lan.’ 
“To satisfy myself I glanced at the register 
nd saw the stranger’s name. It was ‘Robert F. 
Partridge!’ Truly that was the most wonder- 
"ul dog I ever saw or heard of.’—Washington 
tar.

ALN UNUSUAL HUNTING ADVENTURE. 
| THe ‘German steamship Vandalia, from 
{apanese and Chinese ports, now discharging 
er cargo at the Bush Docks in South Brooklyn, 
iad an eventful voyage, and up to the moment 
ns dropped anchor in the Narrows recently 
he freighter’s trip westward was marked with 
| trange “happenings. A battle between a whale 
|.nd two hammerheads, witnessed in the China 
Hea when the Vandalia was on her way from 
(Manila to Kobe. was the first of the events 
\ hronicled in Chief Officer Jaeger’s log. 
1 According to the New York Times, Dr. 
+teinrich Kloft, the Vandalia’s surgeon, went 
lishore at Singapore on July 25 to do some 
hooting. With him went Chief Engineer Hal- 
fager, but the two men got separated and 
lallager returned to the Vandalia alone. Eight 
lays later Dr. Kloft turned up with the story of 
lis capture by natives in a forbidden district in 
i ohora. This district is for natives, or the 
\‘faithful,” only and Dr. Kloft had wandered 
into it in search of game, not knowing the 
prohibition against foreigners. He was taken 
\yefore the Sultan of Johora, who said that, if 
|he doctor could cure one of the Sultan’s rela- 
lives, the doctor would be given his freedom. 
\The relative was cured of his ailments within 
light days, and Dr. Kloft was not only liberated, 
jout he was presented by the Sultan with a mag- 
lificent Oriental silk screen, a native parasol, 
find a sword, the gold on which was hand- 
‘arved.
