Millie is intelligent, cheerful and at tractive in manner. She sings, dances and moves around on her four legs with an ease aod faculty remarkable

1t is with profound regret that the de-
partment commander announces the death
of Past Commander-in-ChiefW w. q. Veazey.
Comrade VeaZey was identified with our
order from it's earliest infancy and con-
tributed greatly to its growth and pros
perity.
To his gallant record a soldier he add
ed sterling qualities a citizen. and not
only gained honor and distinction in war.
but In times of peace was found In tae fore
front of all enterprise for the betterment
of mankind.
For several years he lived I'm our midst
and his election to the position of COM
mander-in-chief during that time was hall
ed with more than ordinary satisfaction by
the comrades Of this department, and the
loss now sustained becomes a personal one.
The funeral services of our late COM
mander will take place on Fri.ay. at
o'clock p. m, from the Church of the Epiph-

and esteem of our late cUmrade. IL they 4,
