EVERY dog has his day, and the
pig dogs day has come in the world
of fashion. All men and many women
will be sincerely glad that the little
'wheezy, spindle-shanked caricatures
of dogs which fashionable ladies car

trcmorselessly banished. There is
something noble about huge St Bern
ards and Pomeranians, such as Queen
Victoria has just declared for. Miss
Eastlake has adopted the St. Bernard
as her especial pet. Royalty and a
popular actress having made big dogs

market for St. Demands to rule high.

all over him, biting through his cloth

screamed with pain. and his dog. which
was near by, came to bis assistance, but
before the faithful animal got within

TRUE TO HIS CHURCH.

A Dog That Wouldn't Change His Place
of Sunday Resort.
SIN Greenfield Meadows, Mass, about
1s4s," writes correspondent Of the
Youths Companion, "iived one Edwin
Smead, a farmer, whose dog was as
constant as his master in attendance
ut the old First church. Tie meeting
house contained high pulpit. which
was approached by winding stairs In
front Of the gallery containing the
singers. When the congregation en-.
tered tho church, the old dog. with tho
utmost gravity of manner, always
climbed the pulpit stairs and composed
himself for a nap.
IN tho meeting house. The seats wero
turned around, platform was erected
ut the other end of the church, and a
modern desk was placed upon it.
''When the day came for the reopen
ing of the church the old dog walked in
with tho rest, md, wearing an express
sion of deep disgust at the changed ap-
pearanco of things, sought the stairs
leading TO tho old pulpit, which. alasl
had disappeared forever. He walked
up ono aisle and down tho other,
looking disturbed, and apparently
aware that he was the object of III
suppressed merriment, until at last,
hearing tho voice Of good old DR..
Chandler in the opening services, he re-
luctantly and shamefacedly mounted
the modern platform and composed
himself to sleep.
'Not long after this Mr.. Smcad died,
and his farm was sold to Mr.. Par
menter, n good Baptist deacon who ct
tended his church in the village.
Tho dog stuck to the farm, bu. did
not take to the new religion. Every
Sunday morning when the family start
ed for church he was ready and trotted
along By the side OF the wagon until he
came to the place where the road
branched off toward the Congregational
meeting house. At that point he parted
company with the family and stood by
his own creed.
For some years longer the old dog
was the mos. constant member OF that
society. never missing attendance upon
the Sunday services, rain or shine, until
his dog days were ended"
