A 1 Papa-Willie.You May Begin Firing When Ready DOG RACES MILES THE TALE OF THE IN FRONT OF CAR TAIL OF A DOG Monday night when the 9:35 Oregon electric car was coming from Portland to this city, a rather unusual thing occured. Just after the car had passed Beaverton a large shepherd dog ran onto the track ahead o f the car. The motorman sounded his warning horn, but the dog re fused to leave the track and raced in front o f the swiftly moving tar for nearly three miles. A number o f times the dog was nearly run down, and would have perished under the wheels if the motorman had not reduced the speed when this seemed emminent. The shepherd finally realized his great danger, and sprung away from the track. The motorman said this was the most peculiar instance ho had ever met with, and explained it on the theory that the brilliant headlight on the car had ‘rat tled” the dog. Tuesday some boy or boys, with the thoughtlessness and indifférance that is not always a characteristic o f youth, tied a tin can to a dog’s tail on Pacific Avenue in the neighborhood of Third street. The poor little animal ran around in a distract ed manner, scared out o f its wits It finally ran under a store build ing where it set up a pitiful whine which attracted the at tention of two ladies who were passing. They coaxed it out and a kindhearted physician who just then happened by, removed the instrument of torture. There is a severe penalty at tached to an act o f cruelty such as this. Parents should teach their children to be kind to dumb animals, and if moral su asion has a lukewarm effect, a little hazel tea should be admin istered, otherwise the strong arm o f the law may step in and give them a needed spanking. — Hellste In St. Paul Pioneer Press.
