Injured Dog Limps to
Front Yard of Druggist
Seeking Medical Help.
.' . "
Dogs of both -registered pedigree andJ
unknown ancestry have frequently beenn
accredited with "almost human intelli-
gence." They have been known to show
uncanny Judgement in identifying persons
by scent. A Houston dog Saturday after-
noon demonstrated the truth of these
canine characteristics.
An automobile sped down Harold ave-
nue in the Montrose Section about S
p. m. ' Shortly after it passed the 600
block a handsome lemon spotted pointer
dog wss seen to limp toward the' side-
walk from the middle of the road. Right
here his "mental superiority" .asserted
itself for passing two houses he turned
into the front ysrd of W. U. Keenan a
Houston druggist.
Dr. ISurkey and Dr. Horning veter-
inary surgeons received a call at 'their
hospital and a few minutes later "the
victim of the automobile" was plastered
and bandaged. The dog is-expected to
recover. His owner has not been found.
"Bob" Returns to Police
Station ; Cops Pleased
v . ' :"
; "Bob" has returned to the police
atation to the great delight of the
short call men. "Bob" fa a large -.
fino dog that wandered into the sta-
tion one day about two months ago
. and remained several days. The men
took a liking to him put a collar
with a police badge around his neck '
and he responded to calls with them
like a veteran. . After a few daya
some : show people .appeared and
claimed the dog. The policemen were
reluctant to part with him.
"Bob"' . appeared again- Saturday
morning and this time will be given
a permanent home at the station. He
is evidently a cross between a St. '
Bernard and a Collie and very in- .
teliigent .

Former German Einperor
: Sits Silently in Garden ;
Don't Even Saw Wood
' By T WALTER WILLIAMS. '
New York Times Cable' By Leased Wire

(Copyright. 1019.)
AMERONGEN. June 14 I saw
the former Emperor and Empress
. of Germany sitting in a summer
. house in a garden between the two
! moata in the castle in Darby and
Joan style for two hours this morn-
ing. . '
I The day being a holiday WUhelm
did not go through with his daily
forenoon performance of sawing up
little Christmas trees. He wore a
dark blue suit and a black cap. The
former empress dressed in white
was reading to him apparently from
- a newspaper as she does on other
days when he is exercising.'
t . From a private roadway owned by -Count
Bentinck I could sea tbe
exiled royalties clearly. Only the
outer moat and lawn separated us.
Tbe former emperor looked at me
but did not sneak.
Members of the Bentinck family
appear to believe that the distin-
guished guests will return to Ger
many in tbe near future. After -seven
months the honor thrust u n
the family by the Dutch government
does not look so great to them.
Persona who see the former ruler
. daily assert that his health Is quite
good now and that he is enjoying the
balmy summer weather. Like the
' former crown prince he Joes itiot
appear to Buffer over what has hsp-
pened to Germany. Only the former
empress grieve over the fallen for- '
tunes of her country. Army Surgeon
Forster of Berlin attendrthem daily. '

the ; electrical workers' strike which had
been set for Monday following' an order
issued by Postmaster General Burleson
permitting those employes the right to
bargain with their employes and to or-
ganise will only lend encouragement to
the striking commercial telegraphers S.
J. Konenkamp president of the Commer-
cial Telegraphers' Union of America as-
serted Satordsy night.
"The commercial telegraphers are vir-
tually fighting for ths same things that
have been conceded to the telephone
workers." bo said. "If thia order is to
be confined to the telephone companies
and not extended to the telegraphers. it
would be' a case of creating one labor
policy for the telephone' companies un-
der government control and another for
tbe telegraph companies."
