If Oxford, Pa., ever achieves any par ticular degree of fame it will probably be as the birthplace of the caddy hound, a new breed of dogs which promises to revolutionize present golfing methods. These dogs will perform all the duties of a caddy on the golf green. The breeder Is Frank Duburow. a rural mail carrier, who breeds fox hounds and beagles. Knowing that golf balls were often lost because caddies did not follow their flight, he trained fox hounds to chase balls and locate them. The only difficulty found was to keep them from picking up the ball and re trieving It. This defect was remedied and the players were delighted with the Intelligence of the animals. Duburow found that his work was not done, however, for a caddy was still nec essary to carry the clubs about. He took two dogs, half-bred collies and fox hounds, and trained them for a month, when they would do all that his fox hounds had done, and in addition carry the caddy bag strapped to their backs. Fingers and Toes to Spare. . Wall (South Dakota) Dispatch to the New York World. When it was announced in the Wall Record that a boy baby with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot had been born to Colonel and Mrs. Weatherby, of that place, the colonel was filled with a pride uncommon even among -, tViiivc fnlnnel Wen thfirhv him self has six well-developed fingers on his left hand and six toes on each foot. He says that extra fingers and toes can be found in his family for five generations back. "But." says the colonel, "this baby is what I call normal. He is the first one of the family to have two seta of six. Now that he Is balanced all around he makes rather a fit youngster. "I am expecting great things of the boy. especially If he has any musical talent. Think what he would do on the harp with 12 fingers, for example. Why, he would discover harmonies never be fore known to the world. I am not much on music, but even if I had been, with five fingers on one hand and six on the other I would get some of the notes crossed. "Or if the boy doesn't take to music, wouldn't he shine on a typewriter, or one of these printing machines that look like a typewriter and spit out sticks of type? I tell you. watrh my hoy Jim."
