Fresh Water Gave
Fish Knockout
Boston —(UP)— From the Rev.
Charles T. Riggs, missionary at
Istanbul. Turkey, to the American
Board of Commissioners for For
eign Missions, here comes the fol
lowing fish story:
Recenty there appeared in the
Bosphorus a remarkable abun
dance of a small kind of tunny
called “pelamys.” The fish acted
as though almost insensible and
could be picked from the water
by hand, or scooped up in small
hand nets.
“The explanation,” writes Rev.
Riggs, “has been suggested as a
treat influx of fresh water into
the salt from the melting snows
and from the rivers, making the i
water too fresh for these salt wa* |
ter fish.”
Cowboy* Couldn’t
Find Hitching Posts
Laurel, Mont. —(UP)— The au
tomobile may not have supplanted
the horse entirely, but parking
spaoes certainly have done away
with hitching racks two “shore
enough” cowboys discovered in
Laurel.
The cow hands rode into town,
tired and dusty from a long trip.
Officers invited them to move on
when they attempted to hitch
their horses in the business sec
tion. They tied the horses to some
smajl trees in a park. Again came
orders to move on.
“This town has gone plumb to
hell,” commented the range rider
with disgust.

I TALES OF REAL DOGS - B? Albert P. Terhune
It was a surprise visit
Gather was his name. He was a
eollie. He belonged to a young farm
er, Duncan McDiarmid, who lived
near Ben (Mount) Cruachan. in
Argyllshire, Scotland. There were
two other collies on the farm, but
Gather was his master's special
comrade and adorer.
In the summer of 1914, Great
Britain entered the World War.
Young McDiarmid enlisted. He was
sent to a training camp at Stirling
Castle, many miles from Ills home.
Before he went away he asked his
mother to take special care of
Gather, for he knew the old collie
would miss him keenly.
The farmer was right in this
forecast. Gather was miserable. He
went through his farm work glumly
and he lost his appetite. Mrs.
McDiarmid did alt she could to
make him comfortable, but he grew
more and more despondent.
For two weeks this went on. Then
one morning Gather had vanished.
Search was made and neighbors
were asked to be on the lookout for
him. That was all the good it did.
Mrs. McDiarmid wrote to her son,
telling him the old dog was lost.
Duncan McDiarmid was keenly
I unhappy at the news. He could not
! understand how Gather could have
I vanished unless he were stolen. And,
as he was a one-man dog, it would j
not have been easy for anyone to j
steal him.
On the second day after he read
of Gather’s disappearance. Duncan
was crossing the parade ground at
Stirling Castle, when a collie came
dashing toward him. barking and
yelping with delight. It was Gather.
The dog flung himself ecstatic
ally upon his master, who was no
less overjoyed at the reunion. But j
through Duncan’s happiness at |
finding his canine chum was a note
of sadness and worry.
McDiarmid and the rest of the
regiment were to set out by train
for the south of England the fol
lowing day. What was to become
of old Gather? He could not be
taken along. There was no way or
getting him back to Ben Cruachan.
His strange journey had all been for
notning. . . .,
And how had Gather been able
to find his way across so much of
Scotland and locate his lost master
at Stirling Castle? That was a
mystery and always remained a
mystery. The collie was thin and
he showed signs of hard traveling.
How had he known where to
look for Duncan? He could not
have tracked him by scent, for
McDiarmid had made the journey
in a train. Why should Gather
have picked out that one particular
spot, instead of searching aimlessly
in any of fifty other directions?
It could not have been mere co
incidence. An army doctor, who
heard of it, said the dog was “psy
chic.” That word meant nothing to
Duncan, though it meant everything
to him to know how his beloved
collie was going to fend for himself
when McDiarmid should go south
on the morrow.
Gather solved this problem, too.
in his own pyschic way. That night
he curled himself down to sleep,
close beside his master's cot. even
as he had slept for years close be
side his master’s bed at the farm.
But when the bugle’s reveille awak
ened McDiarmid next morning.
Gather no longer was there. Again
he had vanished.
With a heavy heart Duncan start
ed for the training camp in the
south of England Gather’s newest
disappearance was something he
could not understand. Never before
had the dog voluntarily left him.
It did not make sense to the un
happy youth. .
But he recieved a letter from
his mother, three weeks afterward,
with news that Gather had trotted
back to the farmhouse one day, with
all his former glumness gone, and
had taken up contentedly h’-s old
time life there.
Presumably, ho had had some
’’psychic’’ knowledge that Duncan
was going south, whither the dog
could not follow him, and. satisfied
that his master was alive and well,
had trotted back home to await
McDiarmid's return.
(That is only a guess of mine,
of course, in a mystery where one
guess is as good as another and
where the truth can never be
known)
In any event. Gather’s unhap
nlness was gone and he seemed
wholly content to wait at home
until Duncan should see fit to come
back aga.n. He stayed at the farm
and never wandered from it. He
did not so much as go to the distant
village.
All tills until one
day. months

Paschal searched the statute

sheep to get to pasture by them
selves or wonder Into the vegetable
garden.
The humans of the family stared
after him, aghast. Never before, in
all his long life as a herder, had
Gather deserted his post when he
was at work. Now he was behaving
more like a crazy puppy than like
a veteran sheep-dog.
Deaf to Mrs McDiarmid's call the
dog tore madly along the road to
ward the village street to the rail
way station. There he came to an
abrupt halt in the middle of the
platform.
Down the long gleaming rails he
peered with his nearsighted eyes,
his white paws dancing with excite
ment, his plumed tail wagging. See
ing him thus, no bystander oould
doubt he was waiting with happy
eagerness for something or som
one.
A few minutes later, a train pulled
into the station. Prom one of its
cars stepped Duncan McDtarmid.
The young man was home on
brief furlough and had not had
time to notifyhis mother. Nobody
had known he was coming back to
his farm for a few days. It was a
surprise visit.
Then how had Gather discovered
so suddenly that his master was
returning and that he was on a
train which even then was almost
due at the distant railroad station?
That is another question which
is beyond the power of the human
brain to answer.
Several times after that, during
the war, Duncan McDlarmid came
home on leave. Sometimes he wrote
in advance that he was coming.
Sometimes he paid surprise visits.
But never once was old Gather
"surprised."
Every time, without exception,
the dog knew beforehand just when
Duncan was coming back. Every
time, he would gallop madly to the
station and would arrive there just
before Duncan’s train was due.

FRENCH HONOR
U, S. SCULPTOR
Paris — (U> — Paul Bartlett,
American sculptor, whose monu
ment of Lafayette, here, was
erected through the contributions
of American school children, and
Frederic Bartholdi, who created
the Statue of Liberty, which he
finished in 1883, have become the
inspiration for a memorial in
their honor.
Inauguration of the memorial
will coincide with the centenary
of Bartholdi’s birth this year. He
died In 1904, one of the most fa
mous of 19th Century artists.
Many of the designs made by the
Frenchman for the Statue of
Liberty are still in his studio in
the Rue de Commandeur, and a
replica in miniature of the huge
monument on Bedloe’s Island
stands on the Pont de Grenelle.
Mrs. Paul Bartlett, widow of the
American sculptor, is handling
the details of the memorial, and
it is understood that the French
government has given its patron
age to the foundation, despite the
fact that no official announce*
ment has yet been made.
First Circus Started
In Philadelphia
Philadelphia — (UP) — The
first circus in the United States
originated in Philadelphia in the
riding school started by John Bill
Ricketts in 1792.
The ridlnK school has as its
distinguished patron Oeorge
Washington, of whom it is re
corded. “he put aside cares and
worries and went to Ricketts'
Riding school to seek enjoyment
and pleasure.”
As part of his plan to draw
clients, Ricketts employed a man
by the name of McDonald to act
"the clown.” Later he hired Signor
and Madame Spinacuta, the for
mer a tight rope walker and the
latter an equestrienne, t o enter
tain his customers.
Later another Philadelphian
started a circus here, eight years
before P. T. Barnum opened his
“Greatest Show on Earth” in New
York. He was Adam Forepaugh,
a Civil war horse trader.
Man Took $6 Daily
From Pay Telephones
Indianapolis, Ind. — (UP) — A
scheme by which Paul Cox made
$6 daily at the expense of pay
phone customers was revealed in
municipal court here.
According to the testimony. Cox
used a wadded paper napkin, to
which he attached a piece of wire.
This he crammed up into the slot
which returns the customer’s
nickel when the line is busy. He
would return later, remove the
napkin, and collect the nickels
that had accumulated
This practice continued In sev
eral public buildups until Cox
was arrested on a vagrancy
charge.
The judge discharged him,
however, because it was impossi
ble to discover whose nickels had
been taken. They didn’t belong to
the telephone company because
the call had not been completed.

some much-needed sleep.
But the owner didn't put in an

THE “COMING OUT” OF A
DEBUTANTE
In other days u “coming out party”
was not only of vital Importance to
the debutante for whom it was giv
en. and to her own friends but of
Interest to society ns a whole, which
went to the ball or to the coming
out tea and made its decision ns to
the debutante's social qualifications.
To put horse shows and dog shows,
country fairs and debuts In the same
category is perhaps destroying to
Illusion, but it la not at all far from
the truth.
A dance, Instead of a ball, would
Include only the Intimate friends of
the hostess, all the season's debu
tantes und younger dancing men
This would mean that the daughter
Is ‘'presented’’ only to her mother’s
best friends, to whom she Is obvi
ously well known, and to the girls
of tier own age.
In other days the social success or
a debutante depended to a grent
decree upon the approval of dowager
hostesses who Invited her to theit
dinners and to sit In their opera
boxes. If they did not approve they
left her tuore or less marooned. To
day. this power of the dowagers does
not exist. The debutante who is
liked by other debutantes Is Invited
everywhere. Kven the mothers of
the debutantes (let alone the de
tached dowagers) have little or
nothing to say about the Invitations
of the youngest generations.
Normally, then, let us say that the
modern debutante Is still brought
out occasionally at a ball, more oft-1
en a dance, and most often at a ten—i
either with dancing or without. Or
perhaps Hie debutante Is not "Intro
duced'* at all. Perhaps she herself
gives n dance, to which she Invites
none but her own personal friends,
belli girls and hoys. Or perhaps she
gives a theater party with supper
afterwards, or perhaps she gives a
dinner at little tables. There Is no
limit to the type of entertainment
to be given and no exaction as to
the number of invitations. Or let
us suppose that her mother wants
to Introduce her formally without
giving a parly at all! Nothing could
be simpler, or more conveniently
proper! She need merely bnv^ the
daughter's name engraved Iteneath
her own on nn ordinary visiting card,
and send this card In a small en
velope, which fits It, to her entire
visiting list.
At all events, no matter what the
party may be, tlie debutante receives
with her mother, who stands near
est the door, and the debufnnte close
beside her. No one else stands in
line. Her best friends who are
naked to "receive" are merely ex
peeled to wear light-colored dresses
und no hats In the afternoon. At an
evening dance there Is no way of
distinguishing those who “receive”
from any of the other guests. (At
an ordinary ten those who "pour” or
in any way aid the hostess, wear
hats. A debutante tea Is the only
exception.) On the other hand, it is
best that ail rules of convention be
qualified by those of local custom.
Meaning merely that under usual
circumstances It is better to do as
your neighbors do, than to attempt
conspicuous Innovations because
they happen to be the fashion In
Paris, or London, or New York—un
less the innovation adds to ease or
to beauty.
A few last words of advice to the
debutante herself, on the ever vital
subject of popularity: A girl who
dances beautifully rarely lacks part
ners! There was a time when the
title “belle" was awarded solely to
those who had most partners in n
ballroom. No other test counted.
Today a young girl who cannot learn
to dance well—and who hasn’t part
ner appenl—stays nwny from daneea
and chooses some other field for her
pleasure, that of the bridge table,
or the golf course, tor example. To
day it does not so nitieh mutter what
she does, so long ns she can learn to
do something as well as, if not betr
ter than, anyone else.
