The spring meeting of the Wesler aESO-

able one , both as to looks and service. Gray

Tlp REGIMENT DOG.
Before going on to the latest experiment ,
lie hospital or Rod Cross dog , wo will linger
awhile by the "regiment" dog , and show
what he can do , , and how he has been taught I
to do it.
First of all , when scarcely G months old ,
thc puppy must lear to obey , to anlwer
to the ordinary commands , "Come here , "
"Down , " "Speak , " "Forward , march" and
the like. , Then he Is taught to wer his
harness. This last consIsts , of collar . sailcloth -
cloth rug , tightly rolled . and two saddlebags -
bags , each wlthf two compartments , to carry
dog biscuit , bandages , ammunition , elc. The
whole Is arranged to fit comfortably over
back and shoulder , and , when the pockets
are fled , should not weight more than ten
Iounds.
When accustomed to his harness and ohe-
dlent to his master's look and work-It. takes
several months to reach this perfecUon-th
cole Is ready for h : ! profess'onal lralnlng.
Reconnoitering Is the first In order , but
for this Il Is quite necessary that tie dog
has learned to "hall" at the word.
The lessons are given In the open field In
this wise : The trainer's assistant takes up
a positon at time end of a straight road or
lane , and then came slowly ! toward the master -
ter , wile , holding time dog In leash , advances
from the \pposle direction , 'fhe trainer calls
to the dog , "Stl ! lock out ! leeep watch ! " until
the ( assistant Is upon tlien ; Then the corn-
mand "Halt ! " Is given , and after I moment's
pause , "Come back , " al which the leash I
drawn up. Then words of praise anti caine-
th'iig good lo cat , In the first stages of trainIng -
lng , folowed by work without the leash , and
the Intelligent animal soon perceives that he
Is to stand , and return 10 report anything
that COle In hIs way Then comes a furlher
stage In which this reconnoitering party dl-
cover the ( enemy under sheltering cover , and I
the pupi Is taught to report anything EUS- '
I'clous he may lint ] , All these lessons are
given after dark , hat ( the doc's senses may
be shanlened , and all hIs duty must bl per-
formmied In utter silence , only a low growler
or a pull of the coat lay attract the muaster's
attention , The cole , accustomed In hIs na-
( lye moors to work - In silence , Is the least
"talkative" of dogs , and quickly learns to
bold his tongue even under excitement.
- SENTRY nUTY
When his duties 'a scout arc fully under-
stood , then comes the sentry's traln'ng. ' here
the dog hi 10 learn 10 take up his positIon
at I given dIstance In frcnt of his mater , and
to stand up and return at once when the (
enemy-again the inevitable aSllslant-ap- (
preaches In the darkness. The dog , once In
position , Is allowed at first several minutes ,
and then more an4 mar time before the
enemy 81 > pracles , thaI he ray lear not to

One can eaiy ' se what an Invaluable aid
the dog's sharpe , nses would render him ,
when thus trailed ( . Sentry and scout thus
aided and l'rotectu1 could not possibly be surprised -
prised
Then comes . time "messenger" training. This
dog Is taught tQ run lhorf clancC between
traIner and 'lslBanh back and forth , over
all kinds of ground , until . when once this leI-
tar Is Inclosed In the lWe waterproof packet
on his collar / time four.footed "dispatch"
