Farewell old year; your race i ruu'
Don't forget to write II 1896 now,

If you have resolved to be better

lerous evil habits contracted in the
year that is past, cling to it as though
your entire existence depended upon
those resolutions. Remember you
mold your own destiny and it is done
BY firm and steadfast resolutions and
strict adherence to them Resolve
! by the help of your Maker land it is

promises will be kept and protected

lady. and you will be agreeably as
tonished at the revelation of the
future. Try it. IAN ounce of action

Hope it may be SO, for the old adage

pays his debts when due, can live in
peace with God and man. and with

His aged parents would hear from him

the smallest fits kind in America, Il
not in the world Victoria was a
pure black -and-tan terrier. Her
history is interesting About IL
years ago the late Mrs. Garbonetti,
of Railway, who was at that time a
performer in Barnum's circus, was
engaged in a tour Of England with
the shows She was exceptionally
clever in handling horses, and she
frequently received presents from
her admirers. One day in Manches-
ter man sent his compliments to
the fair rider, accompanied by a
basket, which contained the small
est mite of caninity she had ever be-
held. The dog accompanied her on
her travels all over the world, and
although it never grew to robust
size it was always healthy, and she
became sincerely attached to her
pet.
In due course of time Mrs. Garbo-
netti left the sawdust ring and set
tied down in Railway Last summer
she was thrown from a buggy and
killed, and her husband, who is a
farmer near Railway, presented the
dog to Miss Mary McCann, who was
with Mrs. Garbonetti when she met
with the accident Victoria was
about six inches long and her head
was less than four inches from the
ground. She weighed about 1e
ounces when in good condition. She
was not capable of learning many
tricks, but after years of patient
training her mistress succeeded in
teaching her to sit up on her launches
and sneeze. This latter accomplish
ment, it is said, was responsible for
her sudden death, as she sneezed SO
much that asthma set in, and after
an illness of less than an hour she
died. AS q mark of regard for the
departed canine Miss McCann had q

embossed white plush. The coffin
was nine inches long, five wide and
four high, and the body Of Victoria
was arranged in it as if she were tax
ing her daily nap behind the stove,
Before the body was committed to
the grave an amateur photographer
was called in and several pictures
were taken of the animal. The dog
was buried in Miss McCann's
garden, and the bereaved woman
says a monument will some day mark
the resting place of her departed
