PARAGON OF DOGS
Steamboat Captain's Pet Was in
Class by Itself.
One Performance, However, Brought
Argument Whether He Wee Wisest
of His Kind or Plain
Canine Fool.
The bulldog of the Kameralda, packet
freighter i'or the settlements between
Portland and Machlas, In Intelligence
and accomplishment*. 1h reckoned a
jmragou of dogs. In I'ortlaud he walks
Uptown with the captain and returns
alone with any purchuaea and newspa
pers which may t>e Intrusted to him.
He even brings back meat, and this
quota of self-restraint puts him In a
class by himself, Ilolman I>ay writes
In Harper's Magazine.
One day, according to legend, this
dog was actor In an affair which has
been debated warmly ever since; It
gives rise to the argument whether the
dog is the wisest of his generation or
Just ? pinln canine fool. There Is no
middle ground among the disputants
along the water front. The event Itself
was sulllclently grotesque to uierlt
mention.
The captain decided to test the dog's
Intelligence as a shopper. Therefore
ke put a coin Into a basket which he
hitched to the animal's collar. And then
rapped his knuckles on an outspread
newspaper, getting the dog's undivided
attention. Lastly, he i?olnted up the
wharf and told the dog to "flit!" Fldo
obeyed with alacrity and went up
the wharf's roadway In a cloud of dust.
At the head of the long wharf there
was a bold terrace of a little park
whose Irish caretaker had turned out
to graze his pair of pet goats, hitched
together with a short leash. The dog
dashed up the terrace and overtook the
frightened goats, setting his Jaws on
the leather leash with his best grip.
The goats leaped from the embank
ment, carrying the dog with them, and
landed on a fruit peddler's dozing
horse, a goat on each side, like' saddle
bags; the leash held, and so did the
bulldog. Down the wharf went the
outfit, and the terrified horse did not
pause when he reached the end; he
leaped over the rail of the Esmeralda
nnd went flat on deck in a tangle of
harness, goats nnd dog.
After matters had been set right. In
cluding pay to the fruit merchant and
apologies to the goat owner, the cap
tain took Fldo to on? side and dispar
aged his Intelligence, rnpplng his
knuckles once more on the newspaper
nnd Informing the canine shopper that
lie had not been sent for goats or ba
nanas.
"Just n minute, sir!" broke In the
cook, who was listening. ''Do you no
tice what you have been rnpplng your
hand on?"
The captain looked at the sheet. Tt
carried a big advertisement of bock
beer with a goat rampant In the middle
of It.
Helmets Save Soldiers' Lives.
A British medical correspondent
commenting upon some recent French
statistics, snys: "Out of 55 cnscs of
head Injury it was found, for exam
ple, that 42 occurred In KOtdiers who
wore no helmets. Among the 42 there
wore 23 fractured skulls. The remain
ing 19 cases suffered from severe sculp
wounds. Among the 13 cases which
wore helmets there was not a single
fracture of the skull; eight showed
some concussion effects, and Ave had
slight wounds. A considerable num
ber of the unprotected cases dlfd;
none of the protected died. The most
significant fact which has emerged
since the helmet was Introduced was
emphasized by Doctor Houssy at the
Academy of Medicine last year. He
said that the percentage of cases show
ing wounds In the head had Increased.
The reason was, of course, that the
number of sudden deaths from the
cause had markedly decreased."
Qood Year for Doctors.
"This Is certainly a great year for
doctors," remarked an Interne, accord
ing to a New York correspondent.
"Only a few years ago there were so
many M. D.'s with their shingle out
here that some of them had to take up
other business to keep the wolf from
the door. But now there Is a dearth
of these professional men. In fact,
they are so scarce that almpst every
day editorials or advertisements are
printed calling for '10,000 doctors for
the Prejoch army* or '15,000 doctors
wanted^on the British battle front.'
The figures are growing all the time,
and very soon It is likely, unless Rus
sia recovers quickly from her 'political
and social delirium tremens,' we shall
receive a demand for 50,000 alienists
for the Russian revolution. It U a
great pity governments.don't really ap
preciate what a doctor's life Is Worth
over there."
Scientist's War 8ervlce.
Dr. Alexis Carrel, one of the great
est of living surgeons, head of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re
search and winner of the Noble prize
for science in 1012, is forty-four year#
old. Doctor Carrel, who is a native
of France, Is how wearing the "horizon
bine" field uniform of a French lieu
tenant, having been sent by the Rocke
feller Institute to the front at the out
break of the war to conduct an exten
sive inquiry into modern war surgery.
For his invaluable services to the
French wounded, the French govern
ment has bestowed upon him the crosli
of the Legion <k Honor. Doctor Car
rel looks upon America as his real
home, and after the war will return to"
New York to resume direction of the
Rockefeller Institute.
