A WONDERFUL CADDY.

Sagaeious GréyhOund '. Trained to Carr.y:Plnylng Sticks for a Young ; Woman Golfer, .’ 3

‘Bob*is the name of the' intelligent greyhound that has been' trained as a golf caddy by Miss Maud Pottle, of New York city. ‘The dog is rapidly becoming the pride of the members of the Marine and Field club, and his'picture will soon be framed and hung on the walls of the clubheuse. Miss Pottle has taken steps at Washington to patent the harness by which the animal is able to easry the clubs securely, for the plan is practical enough to be extensively copied.. - Bob was entered in the Brooklyn dog show and bids fair to become one ef the ‘best known canines in the country. He iz only 15 months old, and was brought from North Dakota when K he was a puppy by Charles Pottle, a New York merchant. He is a handsome animal, buff colored, with large yellow optics, that recall the gem known as tiger eye. He is already as big as the majority of his breed, .He was bought of Dakota rangers. Unfortunately his pedigree list has been lost by his new owner. Bob is a peculiar dog: | Except on warm nights he insists 'on sleeping on

If this blanket slips off he cries until it is.readjusted, and Miss Pottle has been known ‘to get out of bed three times on a cold night to restore his equilibrium. He. is “jealous, too, .of the small puppy and ccat of the household, being careful to stop eating if they are given food afterward. It was through an accident that Bob became a caddy. One hot day last sum-meér-Miss Pottle’s red golf jacket became ucendurable, and she tied it on Bob’s back. He carried it so nicely that the notion of_ club bearing soon suggested itself to her, and a leather harness was speedily devised. The first few times on the golf links Bob was led by a string, but. he stcad so quietly that the cord was soon dispenséd with. ‘But a round once made he refuses to carry the clubs home under any .inducements, balking like a horse as soon as the street is reached. . The minute the tools are put away in the locker room Bob trots home. contentedly behind Miss Pottle, whether she walks, cycles or drives.”

The animal knows when she is ready to start golfing and backs up contentedly to have the harness put on him. He carries three clubs on each side. In a few days a leatheﬁoucn will be made to strap around Bob’s breast; so that he can carry several golf balls, -~ The Marine and Field club members think that Bob is more than the equal of Lillian Russell, the cat belonging to the neighboring Dyker Meadow Goal'f club. Lillian, recently the subject of a newspaper article, frequently dives into the pool near the elubhouse and catches fish for her kittens.—Washington Star.

PARROT TALKED BASS.

Bird Resorted to Clever Rusé to Imi- _ tate His Master’s Voice Almost . to Perfection,

The Epworth Herald gives the following instance of the ingenuity.of.a parrot in mimicking "its master’s bass voice: Sasiiy . ; oy

The parrot, it seems, began, as scon as it was bought, to learn to mimic the voices of the household of my friend. It mimicked the contralto voice of the mistress, the treble voice of the young son, the soprano voice of the daughter, and the Irish voice of the cook; but the heavy and deep bass voice of the mas- _ ter it was quite unable to cope withs It would practice for hours at a time, but it could not produce from its throat the deep, Hoarse sounds that it desired. Therefore, the family was astonished one day to hear the parrot’ mimicking the master’s voice exactly. They satin the ‘dining-room. ~The bird was in the hall in its cage. Distinct and loud the sounds came from the hall to them, a thunderous and Tolling bass voice, say--Ing: . FEa “Bring me the evening paper.” Some one went out and looked at the parrot. Its head was hidden in its seed cup, and it was making its voice resonant by speaking from within :the seed cup’s hollow. And always now, When . it wants to speak in a bass vofge, it puts’. its- head in its seed cup. Isn’t that a proof of thefalmost human intelligence of the bird? e :

Bum Is a Police Dog. Bum may not have been a very njte name, butrhe is held in high esteem by the patrolmen attached to an uptown station house in Philadelphia. Bum is a-police dog through and through. He begins work with the “first out” squad. When it lines up for roll call and inspection at midnight he inspects it as t.l‘;)‘{oughly as the sergeant or lieutenant. He walks up and down the rank, looks each’ man over, barks his satisfaction and then trots out with the first pair of marching patrolmen. Then he goes through the dutiesof a roundsman. He travels from beat to beat, waiting on corners until he finds each man. Hs barks a friendly greeting then and trots off. He won’t recognize as a friend a policeman from another district, even though the man be only across the streetfrom the dog's headquarters. Bum sleeps awhile after that, then goes out with the eight-o’clock squad and the four-o’clock squad. The dog. can do all sorts of acrobatic ttipgs. too. P '~ Family Inferences. = .
