II was visiting a relative, and,

considerable interest in fixing up

away as anything else. The door

down to their tepees, and sometimes
smoked pipe of peace with the old

having all a tenderfoot's reverence

woodpile- that is not a timber coun-

"There was a bright red piece of
carpet in evidence at the. back of the
house which tormented my New
England soul with its inappropriate
ness. 1t was much too good to be
thrown away and was at variance
with the rest of the landscape. The
chestnut horse browsing on the edge
of the bluff was bit OF color in
harmony with the rest, but this fla
mingolike carpet was blot, an irri-
tation
Sophie, l said one day to my
estimable relative, why do you
leave that red square out in the sun
light7 It will fade and be worth
less Besides it spoils the looks of
your nice yard.
" There is depression of the

she was begging the question. Then

said, and quickly drew the large
square of carpet to one side.
"And then the cause of the car

was fifteen minutes after the first engine
arrived before stream of water was play

ACCORDING to a dispatch received at Lon
don from Vienna there is some curiosity
manifested in Austrian official circles as to
whether the program of the powers is to
hold good in the event Of an outbreak OF
war in Macedonia. The Porte has been
counseled, 1t is said by several of the great
powers to send large bodies Of troops to dis
tricts along the Greek frontier, and there is
no doubt in the event Of war, the Turks
would be allowed to deal with the Greeks
without fear OF European intervention.

THEY LOVE A DOGS LIFE.
A Day With III. b. Gentry's CANNES
How They Live-NVhat They Eat.

H. B. Gentry's dog and pony show, which
is at present attracting large audiences at
every performance in this city, possesses
many features which are not down on the
bills. One of the most interesting acts to
be seen is given after the show, when the
dogs return to their stable to be fed and
put away for the night. Feeding seventy
eight dogs would seem quite a task to a
person who suddenly found himself assigned
to hi duty, but the men who take care
Of the Gentry mine find it very easy,
and as they are required to do it every day
they have matters so arranged that a meal
is served with very little trouble. H. B.
Gentry himself explained how the food is
prepared. A large barrel of selected cooked
meat scraps are obtained from the hotels.
These morsels are carefully sorted during
the daytime by one of the assistants, who
picks out any pieces of bone or other OBJ
iectionable matter. After the meat is as
sorted fifty loaves of freshly baked bread
are added to five gallons of sweet milk. This
is all thoroughly mixed and allowed to
stand until after the performance is over at
night. By this time the bread and meat are
saturated with the milk and the comEina-
ton forms what the Snowman thinks the
most excellent diet for dogs. The band of
CdIlllAGS 4 Ny So a.
PENDANTS, whose duty it is to see that they
want for nothing.
The dogs have a daily routine of work
to so through. which they start by arising
promptly at 8 a. m. The attendants take
them out for exercise, usually lasting
about one hour, during which time they
are allowed to run until tired, or the dogs
are thoroughly under control. One man
handles the entire band when on the street.
They have been trained similarly to a COM
PAM of soldiers, and at the TO
fall in" they huddle around the attendant
and follow him. When he wishes them to
stop he simply says Halt" and they obey.
After the morning work they return to
the stable. and are allowed to rest until
$3.50, when they are given a bath. The men
have become so adept in the art of wash
ing them that the entire having is some
times finished in fifty minutes. They are
rubbed with towels and allowed To dry in
the sun, after which they are returned to
the stalls until time for parade for the next
performances. AT 5 o'clock they are taken
out for another constitutional, after which
they rest until time for the evening per-
Torrance. AT the conclusion of that comes
the most important drill of the day, so the
dogs think.
they return TO the stalls while prepara-
tionE for the meal are being made. The food
is dumped in a long row on the floor, which
has been cleanly swept and washed, pre-
paratory to the evening feast; the doors
