TWO SMART PUG DOGS.

Grover Performs Many Tricks and the
Other Acts ms Messenger.
It Is the general impression that pug
dogs are too dull to be taught to per-
form tricks, and professional trainers
ton to other breeds. There is no doubt
that pug dog, taken Mt the right age
and with proper care and patience, can
be taught many amusing and difficult
tricks. 1t is proved by the following:
Grover is a pug owned by Charles T..
Tibbles, of Englewood, who has devoted
a great deal of time to the dogs educa-
ton. Grover is a full blooded pug. All
his ancestors were full blooded pugs,
with their tails curled to the left His
ability to learn was discovered when he
was diminutive fat ball of yellow and
black hair and legs ut the age of four
weeks. They commenced by sitting
him braced up in the corner and feed
ing him. After several trials ut this
the family were eating dinner, when.
hearing the dog whine, they found him
sitting up in the corner by himself
and crying for something to eat. From
that time on his education has been
rapid, until now he performs at least q
dozen amusing and entertaining tricks
He knows each member of the family
by name, and win go to either one Of
them when told to do SO. He will stand
on his hind legs with fore feet against
the wall, nose between his paws, and
play hide and seek, finding whoever Is
hiding when they give the word.
He will walk across the room erect
on his hind legs, play dead, say his
prayers, sit erect on q chair, fetch o
ball or slipper. and, in fact, seems to-
understand just what is said to him.
There is another interesting pug
owned by lady in Groveland park.

afterward that they were his Bible

header into the foaming sea.
"Nlan overboard!" cried, but the
storm covered my voice, aud rushed
up the bridge to call the attention Of
the officer on duty to the accident.
Stopl half-speed astern, and orders for
the lowering of the boat were the at
fairs of minute or two.
volunteers to man the bontl"
shouted a young midshipman, cutting
q lifeboat from the davits.
Ten men came forward for every one
wanted, and selecting four Of the most
powerful tars, the MILDLY was lowering
the boat when a young doctor, quickly
pocketing flask of brandy for re-
storative, let himself down one of the
ropes and reached the boat as n monu-
mental wave was dashing over it.
The men pulled with will, and the
gallant little nutshell fought bravely
up and down the mountains of angry
waters. AS to the suicide, he was far
astern, and only from time to time
could we see something like human
form emerge on the top of white
crested wave.
Oh, the anxiety with which we
watched both the boat and its goal!
Disappearing altogether at moments,
when we feared we had seen the last Of
these noble fellows, another gigantic
wave would toss them up again like n
cork. 1t was exciting in the extreme.
But the boat was gaining; nearer and
nearer 1t came, whilst we were slowly
following it in it's wake.
There! the doctor throws life-belt.
They are only some yards off now. But
no, n cruel wave has tossed them past
the object of their tremendous efforts.
There they are throwing round her
nose; they are lacking; the MILDLY has
passed the rudder to an old quarter
master, and, armed with boat-hooks, he
and the doctor stand ready for action.
Another second and the life-belt Is
hooked; the man is grasping 1t desper-
ately, but he has no strength left; there
he slips-all is lost, just at the critical
moment.
But who is that jumping overheard?
Three cheers for the brave man -it's the
doctor! But he, too, disappears. Are
there to be two victims instead OF one
No, no! And Observation-Disclosures Is
the doctor, his precious burden before
him.
The men pull like mad to reach the
two ere they sink again. The gallant
young MILDLY is watching for the right
moment. More life-belts are thrown.
They help the doctor to keep above wa
ter; another pull and the boat-hook
has done it's duty, and whilst two of the
men stick TO the oars the others are
busy dragging rescuer and rescued OH
board.
The long, cold bath, the fright and
the proximity of death had wonderfully
sobered the would-be suicide, whom re-
morse for drunken spree had driven
to this mad freak. It did not require
many restora.ives to bring him to, and
two hours later he had an opportunity
of recapituiating his adventure in dire
solitude, having been condemned to be
kept in irons for the rest of the voyage,
a well-deserved punishment for expos
Ing six valuable lives, the lives of six
heroes, indeed, in this perilouY venture.

II is hored that every generous person
in the community will study and preserve
the list above given and make some Of
these institutions .he objects of annual
donations, and, IL possible, become per-
sonally identified with some Of them.
1t will be seen that they provide accord
ing to ability for almost every need
naturally arising in great city.
They help the poor, the aged, the sick,
the children, the friendless, the erring,
the discharged prison r, and even the
tramp aud the dead.
Outside of the institutions described in
detail, there Is an immense amount OF
charitable work done by all the churches; !;
indeed 1t Is noticeable that church mem
bers, and especially the female member
ship OF them, are the chief agents and
supporters of these charities.
Taking into account the institutions
described above in detail, and the work
of the churches, and ofthe various benefi-
cent societies, named ana not named, in
