yecto Maura de 1894 y que, una yez puestas

mensaie como medios conducentes para resta-
blecer la paz y la concordia entire todos los ele-
mentos de la poblacion de Cuba como pru-

que la medida que acaba de irmar la Reina

stocked store on the river and commands a
large territory. In the evenings a large
number assemble there to talk horse. There
does not seem to be any other subject but
horse and that brings all to listening at
titude. For all that some heavy chunks in
horse flesh have gone out of the business
For instance, Fl. B. Heagan, away up in
horses, is foreman at a quarry in Norridge-
wock now, but is at home this winter
Among the number who assemble at the
store are farmers, sharpeners, stone cutters,
foremen, quarrymen and transfers. Pros
pect has a good sample trotter. The prize
winning stallion of l. F. Gould's is good
holding ground to start in on and every fair
trotter has, or is expected to, come up to
his clip sometime 1t seems strange how an
old plug will make such desperate squirt
and never will quite do it again in company.
But it is all good in way and interesting.

A Very Faithful Dog.

A remarkable illustration Of a dogs
intelligence has occurred in Sutton. A
married lady there has q small pet,
and on her removal to a London hospi-
tai, owing to ill-health, the animal be-
came greatly distressed, running hither
and thither in search of his mistress,
to whom he was greatly attached. A
week afterwards the dog disappeared,
and two days later returned to his
home foOtsore and weary. 1t subse
quently tranSpired that the faithful
terrier had found his way to the hospi
tai where his mistress lay. No one
guided him, and he travelled the whole
way alone. He waited about for hours
trying to gain admission, and finally,
after many rebuffs. succeeded in run
ming into the hospital and finding the
bed where the lady lay. With great de-
light he hailed her. and after satisfy
ing himself that she was safe, he trot-
ted back TO Sutton-about fourteen
miles distant.-London Daily Tele-

Frank j. McCoppin was born in Ire
land in 1884, but came to this country
in 1893 with his parents and settled in
Illinois. Five years later he came to CAL
ifornia, where he has had an active and
honorable career. He was elected Su-
pervisor from the Eleventh Ward in

provements were inaugurated, notably
the laying out of Golden Gate Park In

planting. In 1888 he went to Australia
as Commissioner to the Melbourne Ex
