HERO.
Story of an Intelligent and Noble New
foundland Dog.

Story of an Intelligent and Noble New
foundlsnd Dog.
Hero is a great, shaggy Newfound-
land dog. At night he is left alone in
a large store to keep watch During
the day he sleeps. Any one would
think he was very lazy dog; but in
the night he is on the alert At the
slightest noise he bounds from one end
of the long store to the other.
One night the store next to that
where Hero watched was broken into
by burglars, and the iron safe opened.
Hero heard the noise that was made.
In his efforts to punish the offenders he

between his teeth. Away he goes, de-
posits it in the butchers hand, and in
return obtains a piece of meat
One day there was no small change
at hand. The clerk picked up a piece
of wrapping paper from the floor, and
wrote: please give Hero his meat and
charge" Now go after your dinner, "
said the clerk. Away he went, with
the paper where he usually carried

were all busy. Hero wanted his dinner.
but no one attended to him. He was
very hungry. Soon he began to think
he was neglected. So he picked up
scrap of paper, and very quietly
walked away with it to get his meat

"What was the trouble with yOm
customer" the manager was asked as
he walked into the store, ''Was she
one of the crank species3" ''Well, "
said the manager. If you can call g
person a crank who thinks more Ola dog
than a child, then she is one, and the
class Of which she is a fair specimen is
by no means small. The whole trouble
arose from 4 mistake made in meaSur-
ing her dogs foreleg for a bracelet.
After the animal had worn it a few
times it became tight, and in removing
it the skin was slightly abraded. Why
do say that she thought more of her
dog than her child? Well. my judg-
ment is based upon commercial trans
action. She came in here about two
weeks ago with one of the prettiest
ch ldren | ever saw and bought rng
for the little one. 1t cost 1915, while
she paid S2S for bracelet for the yelp-

''Is there much of trade in animal
ornamentsp"
'Well, yes, though at present there
is not much doing, because the peo-
pie who buy the things are out of
the city. Just before the opening of
the summar-resorts our trade had a
wonderful boom, and it would have
surprised one who had not been initi-
ated to see the valuable ornaments
that were ordered for pets. The
trade. however, has not been as good
this year as it was last, probably le-
cause the line of jewel1y worn by each
animal was full. This business began
six or seven years ago, and jumped
into full swing when. at one of the ami
NAL dog shows, a pug was exhibited
with beautiful pair of bracelets upon
its forelegs. The ladies were overcome
by the cravings of envy and hastened
to adorn their pugs in the same way.
Some even went so far as to have the
ears of their dogs pierced and dainty
little ear-drops suspended therefrom.
A philanthropic sp rit started the story
that this practice interfered with the
dogs hearing and was mild method
of torture, and it has now fall

horse which is near-sighted. There
are, however, two exceptions to this
rule, If the horse is to have a mate,

Senator Larrabee, it is said, has made private
pledge to leading prohbonists that if elected and

veto it. and thus prevent the repeal of the prohib
tory law, even should anti-prohibition have good
working majority in the general assembly. Senator
Larrabec was very prompt in denying charges made
