HOW MA1UOK1E FELX. FOK
THE DAWSON HOSE
New York — You would never
guess what was quite tha most won
derful bouquet which Miss Rambeau
ever received across the footlights,
an-* because you could not and
therefore would not guess, it re
mains for me to tell you, which is
almost as good as presenting the
bouquet in the first places. And
that 1 would I might have done.
It was at Dawson, metropolis of
Yukon, aud Marjorie Rambeau was
15. She had given a wonderful per
formance of "Camille," having
starred in that part throughout Ore
gon, Washington and Yukon since
she was 13 years of age.
L"p to the theater there rode in
brilliant red uniform a mounteJ
police agent, who bore a silver
salver, upon which lay, la many
depths of tissue paper, a small red
rose.
This was 'he first rose to have
bloomed In Yukon that year, lc was
from the garden of the commis
sioner of t*a territory, and it was
with his compliments that the crim
son beauty was delivered.
Over the footlights it came, at
the secoLd act, and after the per
formance the entire audience waited
for a imeil of that rose -which each
in turn enjoyed.
That, if you please, is the tri
umph of art. Yes, and don't you
thing i» was a rare conjoining of
ar' and nature?
Somehow I have a great joy in
this iucidect Whenever I see
orchids and hothouse roses going
across the footlights of one of our
sumptuous stages I have a habit of
shutting my eyes and seeing one
red blossom out of the white bos
om of a winter land. Then I see
no after theater supper, with wilt
ing oiccids at the corsage of a
weary leading lady, but a bright
faced girl, with cheecks like the
Et'u Davis apple, with eyes like the
blue of Kentucky skies that can
opied her happy mother's childhood,
and an audiemce In furs and skins
and overcoats, waiting to shake
haiyls and breathe a little of the
lucense of Yukon's first blossom of
the summer.

will uover again be removed from

"I have already three sons and a son
in-law with the colors; uow I give my
dog—and vivo la Fiance I" wrote one
father wht'U offering his dog.
W'fmt tliiit means one may not know
until the real service dogs are render

When the siory of the war is written
the world i.'.av hear of caulne herds
as brave as t!ie men in nulform.
Krance has three classes of dogs at
the front, patrol dogs, linking dogs and
.mibalance doss. The tirst class arc

from Plcardy or Flanders. The sheep

The training of the dog for sentinel

accompanied by soldiers. Is simple and

but when the dogs selected have been
sent to tbe front It requires only fonr
nights' teaching to make them fit for
their work. The chief difficulty Is to
make them icurn not to bark, but only
growl. Violence Is never used; n tap ot
two on the heutl Is enough when they
start barking.
The training of dogs for linking pur
poses—that Is. for keeping two bodies
of soldiers In touch with each other
requires two months. The course for
an ambulance dog Is nearly a year.
The ambulance dog, unlike the patrol
or linking dog. must be taught to bark
so as to give notice to the battlefield
Bcarchcrs when he hus found a
wounded man.
The patrol or sentinel dog works
only at night. During the day he stays
lu the trenches with the men, most of
his time nsleep. Then when night de
scends he leaps with the patrol or
listening party out of the trenches and
passes tbe hours till dawn in the peril
ous work of patrolling the 400 or 500
yards of front the party Is assigned to
cover. Thanks to him, the party Is in
