TRAINED ST. bofn0rO DOSss
The famous st. Bernard dogs are
very carefully trained. A traveller
who visited some of the monaster.
les of the monks of st. Bernard q
few years ago found the monks
teaching their dogs from the
earliest stages of fpuppyhood. Not
only is physical and mental train
ing included in the teaching, but
spiritual culture is by no means
neglected. At meal time the dogs
sit in row, each with a tin dish
before him containing his repast.
Grace is said by one Of the monks
the dogs sit motionless with bowed
heads. Not one stirs until the
"amen" is spoken. If . frisky
puppy partakes of his meal before
grace is over an older dog growll
and gently tugs his ear.

they have not been doing any very
loud talking since their return. An

insane, or at least of unsound mind.
Such is not the case. His mind is
strong and vigorous. He asserts
positively that he has the

more, and promises if the au-
thorities will agree not to
prosecute him tor the Denver
crime, he will refund the money
stolen, pay the reward of 81, 500
which was offered for his capture,
and the return of the money. and
pay all other expenses. That he
is an unconscionsble liar goes
without saying; that he is an i'm
postor is not true, and that he is
enjoying the discontinue OF those
who are making pilgrimages to

thought of committing suicide be-
cause his lover, Miss Susie Rich
ardson, ended her life by that
means Tuesday of last week, as
was stated by the Mexico papers.
To q Herald representative he
stated that he wanted to live az

to the people that he was worthy
of the one who took her life for his
sake. ''I had been going to see
SUSIE" said he, "for year. Her
mother objected to my coming to

at Bowling Green, while Susie was
visiting her uncle there, but the

for Mr.. Bick, at Rush Hill, but the

had some quilts and other things

if she was bound to marry that
dutchman she would have to do
her sewing somewhere else besides
at home.
"I had all my furniture bought
and we were fixed for going to
housekeeping at once. Of course
the news of her death shocked me.
Mr.. John Braden first told me
about it, and l was again met by

Love Laughs at LOcksmiths and
Old People.
Romantic Marriage Of Mr. Thos. Patton
and Miss Bertha Ciem-Ths
Captain 0utwittsd.

A little over a year ago a young
man named Thos Patton, in search
of work, stopped at the house of
Capt. Glenn, just west of town. He
was engaged to labor on the farm,
and by his pleasing ways and in
dustrious habits he was not long in
getting on friendly terms with the
family; in fact, he became quite a
favorlte. 1t was not great while
until Thomas' whole attention was
turned toward Miss Bertha, the
beautiful daughter of Mr.. Glenn.
His devotion to the girl became SO
apparent and the couple were
SO thoroughly attached to one
another, that Mr.. Glenn Deem
ed it his duty to dismiss the
young man from his employ, which
he did, thinking, perhaps, that
would settle the love affair, but it
did not. Their affection for one an
other only grew stronger at their
separation and they planned to
meet and talk, in a clandestine
way, until the irate father, mad
dened by the way things were 60
ing, accosted the young man and
forbid him going with his daugh-
ter. The young man, angered by
Mr.. Clem's actions, swore he would
have the girl or die. Sentinels
were put out and every step the
girl took was quickly reported to
Mr.. Glen. Last evening Miss
Bertha, 80 it seems, was to have
called upon some of her friends,
but instead got with her lover, and
after few moments conversation
he went over to the Recorders o.
fee and procuring a marriage Ii
cense the happy couple repaired to
B. HI. Tuttle's restaurant and were
married by Ed. Taylor, of the
christian Church. The father OF
the girl was duly notified of what
was going on, but before he could
get to town the lovers were married
and had left the restaurant tor parts
unknown. The Captain, SO we are
told, swears vengence upon his
newly-made son .in-law, but he will
do just like every other indulgent
father-take the children home
land slaughter the fatted calf.

jersey Cows.

Inc new OK 1JnteS, III an aT IL
Gle on famous Jersey cows, says
the man who first proved that a
COW could be bred and fed into
giving a larger quantity and a rich.
er quality of milk was v. E. Full
ler, of Hamilton, Ont. Mr.. Fuller
had a finely bred Jersey COW,
Marianne of st. Lambert. He made
a chemical analysis of milk and
various foods and found that peas
con, aimed more butter fats than
ordinary grain. He then fed his
cow ON pea meal, and to give her
an appetite had her led five miles
each day during the winter, heavi-
ly blanketed. The result of this
treatment was that when the
American Jersey Cattle Club sent
up an inspector it was found that
the COW had completed a years
test and had produced 854 pounds
IA ounces OF butter, against the IT'S
pounds / ounce of Eurotas, the
then highest known record.
| Alfred B. Darling, of the Fifth
| Avenue Hotel. was a pioneer in
breeding fine Jersey cattle in this
country. He imported two fine
cows in 1873 in order to excel his
partner, Paran Stevens, in dairy
products. When Mr.. Stevens died
Darling bought the best cattle
from his herd, among them Viole,
and Daisy, two famous cows. Mr..
kellogg, the renowned Jersey
fancier, urged Mr.. Darling to make
a butter test OF his cattle, and
, Eurotas tested twenty pounds in
one week and 778 pounds in one
!, year.
Il Ex-Congressman Burnett con
/ Quoted an off cial test for the cattle
T club on Bomba, q two-year-old
! daughter of Eurotas, and she pro
f duced twenty-one pounds clever
ounces of butter IN week. Peo
pie who laughed at the idea O.
such records were finally compell
i ed to acknowledge that the Jersey
as a butter COW was supreme. Mr.
Kellogg labored diligently for twt
years to collect similar records, ,ant
these he published. The result
. was that in 1880 the cow Myral
7 brought 81 400 and the COW Las
