    Placidity Only Desire
of East Indian Mystic
Old India, says a traveler, has
sever known anything except the
height of Insolent magnificence and
the depths of poverty. India lives to
day much as It lived a thousand
years ago, or two thousand, despite
its mountain peaks of thought and
the nagging of the British Raj. Here
la the source of that teaching which
forms the basis of oriental philoso
phy, that It is not worth while for a
man to gain the whole world If he
loses his own soul.
The Hindus phrase It differently
'but that Is the Idea. It accounts, per
haps, for the placid, slightly pitying
look which the Indian mystic gives
the smart European who comes to
look down upon his civilization. You
get that look from men who have
nothing in the world to call their
own, not even a rag to cover them,
who sit in the dirt and smear their
bodies with ashes and take what food
the people give them. They regard
the visiting westerner with detach
ment, despite the money that Jingles
in his pocket. A sheltered cave or
corner of quiet Is all they ask of this
world.

There seems to be no safer way to
end a headache—and there certainly
is no safer way—than two tablets of

You’ve heard doctors say Bayer
Aspirin is sqfe. If you’ve tried it, you
know it’s effective. You could take
these tablets every day in the year
without any ill effects. And every
time you take them, you get the
desired relief.
Stick to Bayer Aspirin. It’s safe,
ft gets results. Quick relief from

| TALES OF REAL DOGS _ By Albert P. Terhune
SCOTTIE SERVED AS GUIDE
New lorkers, passing along the
Streets which bound Columbia Uni
versity's campus, used to stop and
watch a brownish collie, strolling
with an air of entire confidence
across that sacredly scholastic
enclosure where no dogs were al
lowed at large.
The collie was there, not as an
unauthorized intruder, but by vir
tue of a special permit from Col
umbia’s authorities. He had the
run of the campus and of the college
buildings—even of the solemn
library—as fully as did any of the
students or professors.
He belonged. He was a recog
nized part of the University's life,
especially that of the Summer
School. Nor did he abuse his rare
privileges. He behaved with a grave,
human student might well have
envied.
The dog was Scottie; known by
name and by sight to thousands of
people, not only in and around the
college but eslsewhere. Traffic cops,
for instance, used to stop and pet
him, and they would see he had a
clear track across the most crowded
streets. Ferryboat employes and
railroaders and subway guards knew
him, and treated him with unfail
ing kindness.
Few dogs have had the run of
so many places as had Scottie, and
few have done so much traveling
and in so many ways. It was esti- ]
mated, some time ago, that he had J
traveled more than 75,000 miles, by 1
motor cars, to say nothing of his
long journeys by train and other
wise.
On subways and cn elevated
trains, no dogs are allowed to ride.
But Scottie rode often on both.
Indeed, it is said Scottie used every
form of transportation except air
ship and submarine.
All these strange privileges were
not accorded tlo Scottie on his own
account, although he proved his
ability to make calmy sensible use of
them. They were granted to him,
for his master's sake, and because
of the affliction which made his
master an object of consideration
to everyone who met him.
This master was W. R. Duckett,
of Franklin, Nebraska. Duckett is
blind.
luxe many another blind man
he craved a high education. By
dint of brain and perseverance, he
achieved such an education. This
in part by the aid of another man
who used to read and reread the
required lessons and lectures aloud
to him until they were thoroughly
absorbed in the blind youth’s keen
memory and intellect.
But, even more than the reader
owed his success in education to
his collie dog, Scottie. For Scottie
served him as guide, at every step
the scholar took. The dog was an
inspired leader. Never once did he
make a mistake in guidance.
For instance:—During his course
at Columbia, Duckett boarded in
Fort Lee. New Jersey, across the
Hudson River from the University.
That meant he had to go to the |
ferry every morning, from his lodg- ;
ings, cross to New York, and then I
travel for some distance to his
classes.
It meant a trip of an hour or so,
through Fort Lee and over the ferry
and then through traffic-congested
streets in New York. After that,
it meant going from one classroom
to another, at Columbia, and from
one building to another and out to
lunch and back, and the same route
in returning at night to his board
ing house in Fort Lee.
For the average blind man, this
would have been an utter impos
sibility. He could not possibly have ]
found his way. He would have been |
run down by any of a thousand 1
motor vehicles. He would not have !
known how to get from one part of
the great rambling college buildings
to another.
It was Scottie that mad all this j
easy for Duckett.
Thanks to the clever collie, the
blind man not only avoided acci- j
dents but delays as well, and nev
er was loet. He went as surely from
place to piece as if he were steered
Coin-in-SIot Telescopes
To Amuse Sightseers
Chicago —i UP i— Buylni bh:e sky
at 10 and IS cents & look will be a
popular summer pastime lor vis
itors at the Century of Progress
exhibit here. It is reported that
47 eoin-operat^d telescopes will be
placed at points of vantage
throughout the fair grounds.
By means of these instruments
visitors will be, enabled to focus on
the great spread of the exhibit, to
observe far-sway sports events, to
v.sw toe whole sweep of Chicago's
by his own eyes instead of relying
on the deepest dark eyes of his dog.
Several newspapers, in different
parts of the country, told the story
of Scottie. But it is worth retelling.
Here is a small part of a long in
terview with Duckett, printed in
the New York Times:
"Scottie knows the way and leads
me.” said Mr. Duckett, "and has
never failed me in any kind of
weather. I believe that more than
half the thousands of students who
attended the University this sum
mer made his acquaintance. They
all petted him.
“The police at Fort Lee know
Scottie and they know his mission
as my guide. They do not molest
him. but allow him to run loose
at night.
"Scottie attended every one of
Dr. William C. Bagley’s lectures
on Education. When the students
applauded at the close of Dr. Bag
ley's final lecture. Scottie jointed
in the applause with loud and cheer
ful barking. This is the only time
he barked, at the University;
though he attended all my classes.”
When the collegiate course was
finished, Duckett went back to his
family’s Nebraska ranch, for vaca
tion. He went back by motor, one
of his family acting as chauffeur.
A specially-build box was fastened
securely to the rear of the car. \n
this box proudly rode Scottie, the
entire distance of more than 1,000
miles.
There was much newspaper notice,
a few years ago, to schools at which
police dogs ("German Shepherd
dogs” is now their technical name
in America) were taugh to lead
blind people about the streets. The
training course was long and severe
and was conducted by experts.
For several weeks, the person to
whom the dog wa3 henceforth to
belong was obliged to stay at or near
the “school” in order to accustom
his new dog to him and to teach
him how to obey the dog’s guidance.
Put brown Scottie, the darkeyed
collie, went to no such school. His
own native wisdom and h!s love for
his blind master taugh him how to
serve as guide and guard for Duc
kett. Human lessons were few. His
strangely sensitive collie brain taugh
him most of his duties.
On the Duckett ranch in Neb
raska, Scottie was as much at home
as in the thronged streets of New
York. He led Duckett skillfully, past
Inequalities in the ground, and made
him skirt steep hollows or hillocks,
during their cross-country walks
there, and was forever on the look
out to avert any danger of stumbling
from the man whose eyes he was.
The rolling miles of ranch land
were there for Scottie to gallop
through or to chase rabbits in, as
a recreation after the cramped life
and canyon-like house-walls of New
York. It was an Ideal place for a
collie to wander about In, after the
months of confinement in a big
city where a collie has no rightful
place.
But Scottie turned his back
resolutely on all these temptations.
Slowly and carefully, he adapted *
Ids pace to Duckett’s. Being only \
a dog, he put duty ahead of selfish
inclination.

RARE PAPERS
GOT $10 LOAN
Excelsior Springs, Mo.—t UPI—
J. M, Hughes, a furniture dealer, Is
the owner of three rare documents
of American Importance.
Hughes is in possession of a death
warrant for a Salem witch, which
carries the signatures of Cotton
Mather, John Wlnthrop. Indian
King Philip, William Phipps and
others: a letter written by Abraham
Lincoln at Springfield, 111., in 1853,
and a letter from Button Gwtn
nette, relating to state boundaries.
All three papers appear to be
genuine, but because of the small
amount paid for them, is hard to
believe they ate authentic. A man
entered Hughes’ store and offered
to borrow $10 on them, stating if
he did not return in two weeks,
Hughes could keep them. The seller
has not appeared.
Should Ihe collection prove gen
uine, its value is estimated at sev
eral thousand dollars. The Button
Gwinnettc is the rarest autograph
of signers of the Declaration of
Independence. This signature in
the pust years h3S been quoted at
several thousands of dollars. Not
more than a dozen of Gwinnette’A
signatures are known to be exist
