task, and dropped back to the floor. Nero
was asleep I'm front OF the fire, his head
on the floor between his paws. The cat
looked at the dog and then at the drawer,
and finally went over TO where the dog
lay. Putting her mouth close TO tho
dogs head, she mewed piteousy. Nero
sprang TO his feet, and the cat started
toward the desk. AS she walked along
she looked back at Nero. The dog fol-
lowed her. and, putting his big muzzle
into the drawer, he lifted out the kit
tens one by one and put them gently on
the floor Then he went back to the
fire. lay down. and went TO sleep. The
kittens followed him, and Struggled down
between the dogs paws and went to
sleep. too.
Nero has several accomplishments. His
master will put a piece of cake on each
paw, and the dog will not touch one OF
them until Re gets permission to do So
This In itself Is not an unusual feat for
a dog, but It Is not common for a dog 10

ten to before grabbing the dainties His
master uses the most aggrayating deube-
ration In his address TO Nero, saying:
Don't be in unseemly haste. Nero;

He then puts another piece or CAKE on
Nero's nose, and Nero stands and quivers
with excitement, while his eyes turn IN
as If afflicted with strabismus, In an et-
fort to see the cake. He will wait patient

"Al right. Nero"
Then the three pieces of cake disappear
in a fash. and Neros tail wags violently.

alter the determination OF his hearers, ana
q week later they set out on their ions
journey overland to California.
Rapid transit was then a thing I'M
known, and slowly did the bulky wagon
train make its way through forests ana
prairies. Often, when the way was long,
and the difficulties and vexations many,
some one would point TO the west ana
cry: There's millions in iti' and crack

Georgia miners, and cast his lot with

that IL was never off his tongue long,
and he seemed 10 derive as much salts

The end of the story has already been
told-how Mark Twain met Mr.. Sellers,
and was so amused by his favorite ex-
preston that he determined TO I'm

the first edition OF "The Gilded Age

HANDY DOG WITH KITTENS.
He Responds to the Mothers Appeal
and Helps Them When She Can't

In the house of one Of Brooklyn's best
known citizens, on Prince street, Is
dog that has taken unto himself the care
of the family cat and her offspring. His
name is Nero. and he is n fine specimen
OF the English setter breed.
There was an increase In the cat family
not long ago. and, on account OF the
cold weather the mother cat was al
lowed to keep her little ones In the bot
tom drawer of the desk In the library.
The kittens are so small that they are
not able to get out without assistance.
The mother cat, owing 10 the depth OF
the drawer, has found It almost impos-
sible to get them out; and IL was inc
custom OF one of the family 10 take them
out. Nero stood and watched the ope-
ration One day he evidently thought
II was about time one OF the kittens was
back In its nest, and he rolled IL over
on the floor as carefully as Its mother
could have done, licked 1t all over. and
then took 1t In his mouth and deposited
IL I'm the drawer.
The dogs master, when sitting IN the
recess In the library one day, was In
terrupted In his reading by the mewins
of the mother cat He watched her.
She evidently had concluded that the
kittens were large enough TO test their
legs. and she raised herself on her hind
legs and put her front paws on the edge
OF the bureau-drawer. Then she gradu-
ally drew herself up and balanced her
body on the edge, while she tried to
take one OF the kittens out with her

REVOLUTIONARY WIDOWS.
Seven Pensioners Whose Husbands
Served Under Washington.

Seven women are still drawing pensions
as the widows OF men who saw active
service in the war Of the Revolution
women whose husbands served under
Washington more than 80 years ago."
writes Clifford Howard In the February
Ladies' Home Journal THE Oldest Of
these surviving widows OF the Revolu-
ton IS living at Los Angeles, Cal. she Is
Mrs. Iovey Aldrich, now In the SSth
year OF her age. Her husband was FRI
vate Caleb Aldrich, who was born IN tne
year 1863. and served as soldier boy IN
the New England campaigns Of the war.
Mrs. Nancy Jones, of Jonesboro', Tenn,
whose husband was Darling Jones, a
private in one OF the North Carolina
regiments. is the youngest of the reyolu-
tionary widows. being now about 50 years
of age The other five are Nancy Cloud,
who Is living at Chum. Va, and Is the
widow of Sergeant William Cloud, or
CAPTAIN Christians Virginia line; Esther
q Damon. of Plymouth Union, VT, whose
husband was Private Noah Damon, OF
Massachusetts; Mary Snead, living al
Parkslev. Va, widow OF Private Bowdoin
Snead Nancy a. Weatherman, who llVes
at Elk Mills, Tenn, and whose nrst nus
band was Robert Glascock, a hIer IN one
Of the Virginia regiments, and Rebecca
Mayo, living at Newbern, Va, widow OF
Stephen Mayo, a soldier from virginia.
That these women can be the w!doWs OF
Revolutionary soldiers is readily UNDER
stood in view of the fact that their nus
bands were well or in years when they
married AS, Tor example, when hsther
Sumner married Noah Da\on in the year
1S35-ffty-two years after the close OF inc
war-she was but q, while he was TO- the
last Revolutionary widow pensioner who
had married prior to the close Of the war,
and had. therefore, actually lived during
Revolutionary times. was Nancy Serena,
widow Of Daniel +. Brakeman. she dled
about twenty-seven years ago, only year
or two after her husband who was the
last Of the Revolutionary soldiers on the

Enxland's Army.

According 10 some interesting figures in
the London Times, the armed forces OF
the British Crown were never so strong
numerically. in times of peace. as they
are now. Between the war OF American
Independence and the French Revolution,
the peace strength Of the regular army
was very small. In 1909 the figures had
risen TO about 229, 100 together with $500
militia, and 1913 500 local militia; but ex-
elusive of 1900 artillery and engineers,
and 1900 British troops in the service
of the East India Company. The volun-
teer force. nomInally $4,000 strong in
1S03-'05, had shrunk TO 1S9. 400. The total
regular force in 1921 had been reduced to
i0i 600 men, of whom 81 900 were In the
colonial garrsons. $1,000 at home. and
about 1900 in India. In 1854 the total
figure had risen TO 10000. OF which 300
represented colonial requirements. At
the time OF the Indian mutiny about 10000
Queens troops, together with 1900
British troops in the service of the honor
able East Indian Company, were regarded
as the establishment OF the garrison OF
India, which was raised 10 1900 men in
1886 In 1860, the strength OF the colonial
garrisons was $1,000 exclusive Of 500
local troops. According 10 the returns
quoted In the last army estimates. the
strength OF the present military force Is
