CANINE FRIENDSHIPS,
Some Curious Instances of Affection ans
Gratitude.

Some Curious Instances of Affection and
Gratitude.
Friendly alliances between animals
are often of a most singular kind Nat
urally enough, dogs frequently make
friends and companions among their
own species, although the large share
of personal liberty they enjoy is the
cause of their contracting inexplicable
intimacies. A close friendship and un-
derstanding between dogs and horses
is apparently more frequent than any
similar relationship between indi-
viduals of the same species. Dogs, how
ever, are fond of queer company, and go
cut of their way in search of it.
The numerous friendships formed
between dogs and geese, and even
poultry in general, are quite remark
able. 1t is not generally recognized that
the goose is bird of extraordinary
sagacity, and this mutual regard of fur
and feather may proceed on an un-
derstanding which overrides the dis
tinctions of race. The species of goose
known as "gray-leg" is especially re-
markable for it's strong attachments to
Jugs. onC "hlCH was EcSCueu UN IL
mastiff from an attack by fox showed
a consciousness of its obligations and
desire to return them which were
touching in their obvious feelings. The
goose entirely abandoned the society of
its kind, roasted in the dogs kennel and
followed it in its daily wanderings over
large farm and through the neighbor-
ing village. The dog happening to fall
ii, the goose would not leave him night
or day, and would, to all appearance,
have been starved had not pan of
corn been placed for it every day near
the kennel.
Dogs and fowls also enter into AMIGA
BILE relations for reasons much less ap-
parent to onlookers than to themselves.
hen and retriever became so strong
ly attached that the former laid her
eggs and hatched her chickens in his
kennel; on the hen leaving or entering
her nest the dog would move from the
threshold to make room, while any at
tempt to touch the eggs in her absence
vas met by his immediate disapproba-
ton. There is also an instance of a
quaint friendship which gradually
grew up between tame rook and
bulldog, the dog never appearing hap
pier than when the rook was seated on
his back.
Motives of benefcence lead to many
apparently perverted friendships. Cats,
and dogs are often known to carry their
young to a foster mother, who for
friendships sake, or from liberal ma
ternal love accepts the additional duties
thus imposed upon her. But still more
remarkable are those cases in which
foster mothers, overcoming all scruples
and antipathies of natural instincts, do
not hesitate to accept the charge of
young creatures of other and quite
different species to their own. Many
creatures have more than mans dislike
to solitary life, and adopt measures
of their own to beguile it's tedium.
Horses have positive dread of solitude,
and when this happens to be unavoid-
able will make friends of the most un-
likely creatures. Cases have occurred
IN numbers where colts and mares have
shown symptoms of distress and uneasi-
ness amounting to positive melancholy
where stable dogs have died or been re-
moved.-Dog Fancier.

The fulfillment of this wish of him
whose memory is about to be honored by
those OF his countrymen in this far-dis-
tant land is now positively assured.
After lapse of 141 years the Caledo-
nian Club in San Francisco proposes to
have completed q Burns monument on
the anniversary of his birth, which will
occur on the 25th of January, 1900.
In speaking on this subject yesterday
Colin NJ. Boyd, president OF the monument
committee, said: Nothing that l can do
TO forward this movement will be neg
lected. From the auspicious beginning OF
the movement I see nothing TO prevent
the completion of this undertaking by the
year 1900.
"We now have $1,000 as a starter, and 1
have every reason to believe that when
our subscription books are opened money
will come in from sources heretofore un-
expected. Not only the Scottish people,
but those of every land under the sun who
love Burns for his genius will contribute.
1.-THE memory of Scotland's poet is just
as dear TO the English, Irish, Welsh,
Americans and Canadians as 1t Is to those
who were either born in Scotland or those
whose forefathers first saw the light of
day in that country.
Consequently We very naturally antici
pate that while the monument will be
erected under the auspices of the Gale
donian Club yet all will be invited TO par
ticipate, inasmuch as the work will when
completed be an ornam ent to the peoples
pleasure ground"
Y. G. Lawson, the secretary of the mon
ument com mittee, who is employed in the
auditors department OF Wells, Fargo &
Co., is equally saDguIne of having the
monument completed by 1900: He said:
81 must say that 1 consider ii g great
honor to be identified with this movement
and still greater honor to be made the
secretary OF the monument COM
mittee. l will do everything that
l can to assist the committee in the
carrying out of the wishes of not only the
Scottish people OF this coast, but also all
others of any and every nation that may
wish to co-operate with us. For, as hold
it. every man or woman who has read
Burns works will be delighted TO see his
memory honored at this distant day and
in this distant land.
II am counting upon the encouraging e
start which this movement has met from
its very incipiency and the assurance
of the receipts of the annual gather
ing and games this year. and each
year until the total amount shall be
handed over to the committee by the club
ST. Andrews Society will give in the near
future an entertainment on a large scale,
the proceeds 10 be given to the fund. and
and it is proposed to hold grand Burns
festival in the fail, which viii bring in q
great deal OF money.
81 see every prospect ahead of us of
having the work done ly the one hundred
and forty-hrst birthday anniversary oi
Burns.
1.-The first monument erected to the poet $
memory was finished in 1915, over his re-
mains in Dumfries churchyard nineteen
years after his death, since which tim e
many others have been erected at home
and abroad, and 1t is no more than proper
for the people of California, and for that
matter the entire Pacific Coast, to show
their appreciation of him and his memory
by erecting a grand monument in this
the far West"

Swell, Rogers, Grimmer, William COLONY
and the chairman were appointed 8 COM
mittee to address Mayor Phelan on benalf
OF the entire body.
Colonel w. P. Sullivan, the Mayor s
private secretary, was in his office W hen
the deputation entered, and he politely
placed himself at its disposal. On learn
ing the object OF the call he stated that
Mayor Phelan was at present visiting
Stanford University, but would be back
again on Monday, and would then, he
felt sure, be pleased 10 see the deputation
and give it the benefit OF his suggestions.
Our posiiion," urged LeffingweIl, ''is
getting critical. II the people whose pros
perlty we have helped TO build up have
nothing TO suggest we are helpless. We
shall then be compelled TO resort 10 the
only means in our power to get something
to eat. If we beg we shall be arrested,
and that is all that can happen to us if we
take what we want"
Couldn't we see the Indian famine
com mittee?' quer.ed another with sar-
castle emphasis.
Colonel Sullivan said that the deputa-
ton might possibly find some of the Su-
pervlsors upstairs, so upstairs the crowd
went and poured like flood into the wait
ing-room of the board. A clerk popped
out from the inner Office and in accents of
CONSERVATION said, What's this?"
1--WE are a committee OF the unem-
ployed, " said Leffingwell, land we want
10 see some of the Supervisors or any OF
the committees now in session"
There are no committees in session, "
was the reply. "If you want to see any
body you Will have to go downstairs an
talk to the Mayor"
The Mayor is out OF town." explained
Lethngweil.
That makes no difference" said the
clerk sharply. There are no Supervisors
here. You must get outside"
A wild and anxious-looking policeman,
who had followed the crowd upstairs, said
that the board met every Monday at 2:30,
and that the best thing for the committee
10 do was to see the Mayor then.
The men thereupoD dispersed quietly
and returned 70 the Turk-street Temple.

Manager Mat Smith OF the "Prodigal

Monday last, departed with black eye

Nat Wills, who played a leading part in

then some one let fly trusty right and

The Willses left the company then and

FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE.
David c. Craig, Who Is Ac.
cused of Criminal Libel,
Now Missing.
II, Was Wanted in the Police Courts.
but Did Not APPEAR When
Called.

The angriest man on the water front
yesterday was Captain Anderson of the
Mail dock. He has been accused Of taking
goods off the wharf without permission
from the companySand his accuser was
Night Watchman David q. Craig. The
latter had not tithe of evidence TO back
up his assertions, and in consequence the
company discharged him.
Then Captain Anderson had him ar
rested for criminal libel, and Craig's at
torney went on his bonds. Yesterday the
case was called before Judge Conlan, and
the prisoner did not appear. Then Attor-
ney Percy Long asked for a continuance.
but Judge Conlan got angry and wanted
to know where was the man at bar No
one could tell, and the whole matter was
sum mmarily ended by the issuance of a
bench warrsnt for the arrest of the pris-
oner and the forfeiture of his bonds.
No one seems to know where Craig is,
but If the police can fnd him he will be
in court next Monday.
Captain Anderson is one OF the best
known and best liked men on the water
front. AS superintendent of the Mail dock
he has made many enemies, but there is
not one of them who can prove q case in
which he was unjust. When Craig's wife
was dying he personally went to the head

Dupont Street Broker Causes tn

A warrant has been issued by judge
Low charging J. w. Cough with felony

Cough is young man of high connec-

SLY, so it appears from the complaint,
signing contract with M. Rothschild. a
Dupont-street broker agreeing 10 paw
$40 each month to extinguish the debt.
After he had paid $50 Rothschild de-
manded the full payment and the young
man, being without means, refused 10
produce the coin. He had disposed of the
diamond and the broker swore out the
warrant for his arrest.
