Sharp Dos;,
Tho Snvnnnnh News has been trying Its
band at n big story mid bus succeeded fairly
well. .The story in question concerns a
wonderful dog. Uh name, wo arc are told,
was Ananiiis, but that waa probably a print
er's error. If nny dependence Is to bo placed
upon internal evidence, it could hardly
have been the dog which boro that dishon
orable appellation.
The owner of tho dog waa an enthusiastic
sportamaii and pretty booh discovered that
his young pointer was one of 1,000. Ilia
special gift tho dog's, that is was the
bunting of partridges, which bo could scent
at a truly amazing distance. Tho very
word partridge threw him Into excitement,
so keen was his enjoyment of tho cbaso.
One day his owner drove to neighboring
town and took tho dog along. On the main
street the pointer, who was running on
ahead, suddenly camo to a dead point In tho
middle of the road. It was clear that there
could bo no covey of partridge -the south
ern partridge la the northern quail In such
a place, and tho man was entirely -At a loss
bow to explain the curious prowdlng.
He got out of his wngon, uteppod for
ward and gave the dog tho word to "go
on." Slowly and steadily t'jo dog advanced
across the street and charged In front of a
shop. Then bin behavior was explained.
There, over the door, was this sign, "J. O.
