Coatsville Pcnn. IJulIdo-i Was
Trained to Capture Criminals.
A tiog having the true-detective
instinct assisting his owner in main-
taining order and making arrests
when occasion requires is the pride
of Coatsville Pennsylvania.
This remarkable animal is a bull-
dog belonging to Louis Weil a de.
tective for an iron company. Al-
though but two years old the dog
has learned all the duties of his
master's occupation and acts as his
body-guard. Woe betide the one who
interferes in the affairs of this vigi-
lant canine official. Many have been
the captures made by him and when
the grip of his unyielding jaws was
fastened upon the fleeing criminal
there is no such a thing as escape.
When asked how he succeeded in
training the dog so thoroughly Mr.
Weil said:
"By kindness the one essential
thing to be observed in the train-
ing" of all animals. My dog was
never whipped. He was ever muz-
zled. He was directed to do things
and when he failed he was scolded.
When scolded he crouches in submis
sive shame like a cowed cnna.
When the dog obeys show him your
appreciation. There is no need of
beating an animal. Scold him if you
must. If he is a good dog he is
sufficiently sensitive to feel bad
about that. There's no need of abus-
ing him."
The dog has been trained so that
he will eat no food from strangers.
This to a degree protects the canine
detective of Coatsville from poison-
ing. Our Dumb Animals.

Geo. Beebe assistant sporting ed-

in with the excursion Saturday night

ing to look over some land there in
which he is interested. Talking
iilinnl this enuntrv vestenlav. Mr.
Beebe who confessed to being a sub-
scnoer to ana a regular ana eager
reader of the Weekly Herald said
that he first became interested in
souinwest rexas some years ago
when he was exchange editor of the
News. He happened upon an ac
count of onion raising at Lareao
which proved very good reading. He
reproduced it in the News and there-
after printed everything he could
find about this country and its de-
velopment. Later upon the advice
of a friend he invested in the land
which he has come to see now.
He is making a hurried trip this
time but hopes to return next year
and remain longer perhaps perman-
ently. NOTICE.
