TWO FAMOUS DOGS.
One Chose and the Other Betrayed a
SD King of England.
From the New York Press.

From the New Ork Press.
At Berkeley Castle in 1898 there was q
memorable meeting between Richard H.,
the last Plantasnet king, and Henry of
Lancaster. Richard had a noble grey
hound with him, dog that had never
eaten from any hand but his or noticed
any one with favor save his royal master.
Sir Walter Scott. in Woodstock des-
cribes Sir Henry Lees dog, BeVis, as be
ing one of the same stock, fleet as grey
hound, but strong as a mastitf; tawny col
ored, with black muzzle and feet ana a
white ring around his toes Richard, in
amaZement, saw his dog leave him ana
caress Henry nor could he be persuaded
to leave his masters side.
He goes TO the new king" said Rich
ard bitterly
He was right, for Henry, afterward
Henry ~. of kpgland, won from him not
only his dog, bat his crown as well.
Charles l. also had pet greyhound
which was constantly with him while he
was a prisoner at Hampton court. He
felt himself in great danger there, fear
ing that one of the soldiers might try to
Kill him, and he wanted to escape.
He was a very unfortunate man about
his secrets for they we're always found
out He did not intend to let any one
know when he left Hampton. 1t was twi-
light, and he had planned to go quietly
out of the garden through part of 1t
called Paradise, which was planted
thtckly with trees, so that it was too shad-
owy at dark for any one to be seen dis
He could not take his favorite dog with
him, and as soon as he was gone the dog
commenced crying in the most piuful
way. Some of the attendants came
quickly to see what had happened and
found out the kings secret.
Poor king, he had the same i'll luck
when he was brought back to his trial
and death In going through NeWburg
Forest, in which he had hunted so often
that he knew ever nook and corner, it
was planned that he was to complain of
his horse, when Lord Newburg would Of
Ter his own, the swftest horse in all Eng
land. AT a point further on other horses
and men awaited him.
Alas! the swift horse was found lame in
his STALL and as Charles glanced around
he saw that the hundred men guarding
him had each loaded pistol ready in
hand.
OF all the plans of escape none had been
so easy or so practicable as the one that
hi affectionate greyhound had SO unwit-
| tingly betrayed.

he. 10 Fitting Out q Conservatory OF
Palms,

Palms,
George Washington Vanderbilt gave a
finishing touch to his big estate near
AsheVille, n. c., last week by fitting out
a conservatory in his North Carolina
mansion with some Of the largest palms
under cultivation in this country. The
palms were purchased for Mr.. Vanderbilt
by his gardener from ]. NJ. Hodgson. the
special freight car from Newport for
Asheville on Tuesday. For fifteen years
most Of the palms bought by Mr.. Wander
bllt have taken conspicuous place In the
events or summer social life at Newport
At the ball given by Mrs. Willing of Phil
adelphia, the mother of Mrs. John Jacob
Aston, two seasons ago, the palms were
formed into a grove towering high over
the heads of the guests and making a
tropical garden tho like Of which had
never been seen al Newport. Cornelius
Vanderbilt frequently made use Of some
of the giant palms, and they enhanced the
attractlYeness Of many dance at the
Newport Casino. They were last used at
the ball given by two French noblemen
few weeks ago.
The statements that one Of the palms
weighed two tons, and that the whole lot
cost Ar Vanderbilt SO 600, are far from
being correct The purchase included
twenty-four palms and tree ferns, the
value of which was $500 The palms av-
eraged fifteen feet in hight and 200 pounds
In weight. The collection includes fifteen
tree ferns which Mr.. Hodgson imported
from Australia years ago. The long dark
green leaves of the finest specimens reach
twenty feet into the air. The others are
sago palms, botanically called chamae-
roDs eXcelsa, the leaves Of which are made
into palm-leaf fans. The leaves OF one
plant of tile latter variety measure nearly
five feet In diameter. Mr. Vanderbilt has
transpianted several immense palnotto
palms from South Carolina, and when he
has finished his palm collecting the young
bachelor millionaire will doubtless be able
TO boast Of possessing the finest private
conservatory IN the United States.

Some Small BOnnets.

The small bonnets that are worn to
church by young matrons and those who
are elderly arc of rough straws-chalk
white, ecru or black, and also in some
fancy cofors, as the yellow of ripe corn,
cerise and the new bluet shade, says Har-
per's Bazaar. They are mere close crowns
of the straw without brim, or else with
brim that flares slightly. They are part
ly trimmed with black, no matter what
color the straw may be. Bunches of black
violets and of white violets also are on
black or white bonnets. Chalky white
rice straw bonnets have bows of black and
white striped ribbon, one on each side of
the back, and row of pink roses across
the front. Plated tulle in yellow or bluet
shades covers the brim Of yellow straw
bonncts, and black violets are punched in
front Of the crown and droop at the back
Black bonnets have the popular black and
white bow at the back, with bandeau of
black violets across the front, from which
spring long stemmed pink roses in the
form Of an aigret. All these bonnets fit
the head closely, and many have pointed
ends in the back going down each side Of
the knot of hair. The latter are especially
liked by elderly ladies, as they clasp the
gray hair, which should always be con-
fined

against time where a trotter is paced by "a
running mate and has the entire track.
Alix is now years old and is by Patron
age, Atlanta. As 2-year- old she secured
record of $50. The following year she
trotted in 2:16L s.ld won 81 heats at an
average time of 1928 3-5. As 4-year- old
Alix's best mile was covered in 2:1O
against the 2:14]% of Nancy Hanks at the
same age In her first race last year at
Buffalo AliX was distanced in the second
heat, but she atoned for the fault later and
closed the season as queen of racing mares
with record of 2:07s4. In the great free
for all race in Chicago when it was allcg-
ed that Alix's driver was offered ~, 900 to
drop the fifth heat in favor of Pixley, Alix
won the great nine heat contest, covering
two days, in 2:072, 2:1124 and 2:09A,
trotting the ninth heat in 2:0924, the fast
est ninth heat in history, and placing to

ter on tho turf can remain with her in a
long and cxhausting race of many heats.

Improved Car Construction.

An evidence of improvement in the con-
struction of cars, mentioned by The Rail
way Register, is the more extensive use of
iron, iron plates being quite freely en-
ployed, and in the case of some passenger
cars the stills and end timbers are provided
with heavy iron plates, bolted thereto for
the purpose of Strengthening them to pre-
vent their being broken in case of COLI
sions, and as to the efficiency of this latter
resort the statement is made that in col
lision, where ordinarily a car would be
telescoped, such an arrangement of the
end-though the latter itself become badly
broken-will preserve the remainder OF the
car and save passengers from severe in
jury. A construction such as this, which
is declared to be one that unquestionably
saves life and property in case of wreck,
does not materially increase the cost of the
car, besides making very strong Car end.

Mending Bicycle Tires on the Road

Whether the pneumatic tire Of bicycle
consists of single rubber tube or an in
ner one covered by a tubular shoe, it is
liable to be punctured or cut by running
over sharp stone or similar obstruction,
rendering immediate repair necessary.
The wheelman takes along in his kit,
therefore, suitable bits Of rubber, cement,
the necessary tools for performing this
work on short notice and hand pump for
reinflating the tire. The New York Trib-
,une describes the manner of using them
as follows: If the wheel be provided with
double tubes, the inner one is extricated
and then mended, usually by applying q
thin sheet of india rubber to its exterior.
But with a single tube different plan is
pursued AS much of tho new material as
possible is placed on the inside. If patch
be rcsortcd to, radial Sits from the central
hole are cut, folded disk having stem
in its center like a lily pad is inserted, then
the disk is opened out fiat, cement is in
troduced, tho stem is pulled outward firm
ly enough to draw the new rubber snugly
against the inner surface of the old, and
any portion of the stem then protruding
is cut off. Sometimes the piece Of rubber
thus introduced is plug, with q head
shaped like tiny mushroom. This is
handled in much the same way. When
the tube is freshly inflated, the pressure
tends to tighten tho joint between the
patch and the inner surface of the tire,
and if the cement has been applied proper
,ly and dries quickly the machine may be
ready for use again in a few minutes.
Experience shows that the rubber used for
such repairs should be uncured or unvul-
canized as its surface is then moro read
fly softened and made to adhere more per
fectly to the tire.

Starting Race Horses Is Not Easy.

Starting race horses is fine art and the

SO thoroughbrcds ridden by anxious jock
eys upon the track each rider doing his
best to get an advantage oyer his fellows,
says the New York Sun. In 10 cases out
of 20 it is not the thoroughbred that is to
blame for the trouble at tho post, nor is it
the jockey directly, but it is the owner,
trainer or some spcculator In the back
ground who has told the jockey to get off
in 'front.' no matter what happens, and
who has promised to pay his fine or REIN.

HUMOR IN MESSAGES.
Unfinished Blanks Left In Telegraph OMces
Which Show Mental Perturbation.

If persons will leave their half finished
messages around the telegraph offices, they
ought to at least be of a cheerful and hui
moroas character. When you run in dur
ing the day to write a dispatch to your
wife that you will not be home to dinner,
and God bless her, because you are detain-
ed on pressing business, and come across
thing like this ON the top of the telegraph
blanks it pains you:
For Gcd's sake, hurry up! I am tired
Of waiting around here. Come out and
huy me n cigar and n drink. B."
Now, something like the following Is
more satisfactory, for it has tendency to
tone up the cnervated system:
'Be sure come up tonight. Jack here
poker. beer lunch. SADIE"
Ten words could sc;1tely be more fraught
with meaning or promise more fun for the
money The inference is that the seduc-
tive message is from girl to girl and that
there is somebody else whose name it is
unnecessary to mention. jack is thrown
out as an inducemcnt and the lunch and
beer and poker as clincher. Sadie is all
right.
From these carefully worded copies ly-
ing round on desks and floor it would
seem that many persons practice on their
message before they come to the telegraph
office-then they dash it off, just as if they
were accustomed to using the wires every
day. Those who don't, however, leave two
or three scrawls like this:
First Attempt-Don't you worry any
Second Attempt-Don't worry any more.
1t will be-
Third and Successful Attempt-Don't
worry. will be home all right Wednes-
day. G. II. g.

necessary to beget an address. You will
always find these evidences of q perturbcd

Jack is very fond of dry smoke, "
too, for whenever he walks along the
street or attends bicycle meet he invaria-
bly, has very English looking brierwood
pipe in his mouth. If the sport moves him
to utter banks of joy as his owner wins "a
race or growls of rage if Murphy isn't in
it at the finish, the fact that he has a pipe
in his mouth doesn't bother Jack Napo-
leon at all. He barks or growls, as the
case may be, regardless of consequences
and the pipe, but he never fails to cling to
the pipe. *s
When Jack was young and aggressive,
he was considerable of a fighter and is the
hero of many hard fought battle in the
pit, but he has long since retired from the
arena and earns five good meals day as
mascot for his master and a well known
bicycle race team. His potency as mascot is
in no way interfered with by the fact that
he is just 10 years old. Jim Corbett once
offered Murphy $500 for Jack, stovepipe
hat, glasses and pipe, but the Brooklyn
wheelman scorned the offer. Jack s chlm
on the team is Il monkey named McGinty,
who sits ON Jacks neck and rides through
the streets as proud as Il simian king.
