IT dawned on the crowd present that Waller was
trying to establish record The previous in
uoor record for twenty -four hours 402 miles 1t

AT noon he was sixth nan in the race. He left the

time his chances OF being placed in the contest were
ruined.

The finish of the race was highly exciting. Waller
spurted the last few laps. and was repeatedly

An ESthctlc Yell0w Dog.

Mrs. Sain. living near lake Union,
has a little "ycller dog" with astrange
passion for flowers, says the Seattle
Press-Times, and this passion has
caused him to come to grief nearly
every day of his life.
The dog, after making sure that the
coast is clear, will go into the garden
and pluck a number Of flowers, and
after punching them he will lie down
and go to sleep with his nose on them.
His favorite flower is the rose and
he will invariably bite the stem in
two or 5 inches below the blossom,
and will be careful not to injure the
flower itself. If he sees flower be-
yond his reach he will jump against
the bush until he has borne the stalk
down so that he can reach it with his
mouth, and has done this so often
that he is becoming quite an expert.
He is often seen wandering around
the garden with some choice flower
in his mouth, but never manifests any
desire to destroy the flower. All his
actions indicate that he enjoys the
perfume of the flowers, and his es.
thetlc taste is not satisfied unless he
can rub his nose in bunch of roses.
