In 1880 Congress adopted resolution
to erect at Annapolis, Nd, monument

olution appropriating $4,000 for that
purpose. 1t was called up last week,

Dick was a great, back Newfoundland
dog. He was year younger than Teddy,
but he was enough bigger to make up for
that. He looked up at Teddy rs if he un-

deeed TO Dick. '.It isn'tsfar to Aunt Mel
ly's. It isn't more than mile, Dick j;
and she'll make as some taffy.
Then Teddy pushed the gate open. And
what do You suppose Dick did? Why, he
laid himself down in the gateway; and
when Teddy tried to step over him he
growled dreatlfully and showed all his
white teeth. Teddy tried coaxing, bit
Dick wouldn't be coased. Then he got Il
maple switch, but Dick wonldn't be driy-
en-. Then Teddy tried to climb over the
pickets; but Dick caught hold Of the killed
