Champion high jumper of the West is Joker, a small fox terrier Cog, belonging to truck No. 2 of Portlaud, Ore. The favorite pastime of this remarkable canine consists in leaping from the roof of the fire house to the street, a distance of thirty-livfeet. Of course, Joker does not land on the hard asphalt pavement, for a blanket is held out by his admiring friends to catch him as he makes the jump. As soon as the little dog sees the firemen make for the street, blanket in hand, he begins to bark and grow so excited that it is hard to keep him from bounding to the roof and leaping off before the men are prepared for the circus feat. He runs back and forth across the top of the building until the signal is given below, when up In- - the air he goes and down straight into the outstretched blanket. Tucked Skirt.
