Act as a Safety Valve.

1t is common to see some states of
the Union change party most any
sa!eotion. Ehiatgis hiatg because Of large
class of the voters who vote from
principle, and care little about party
name. This is as it should be, and
acts as compulsory factor to make
the party in ascendency labor to
merit approval of that most saluta-
tory factor-the independent vote.
In 1910 Daniel Webster made se-
we're hit at that class who vote for
mere party victory when he said:
We believe. too, that party spirit
however natural or unavoidable it
it may be in free republics. yet, when
it gains such an ascendency in men s
minds as leads them to substitute
party for country, to seek no ends
but party ends, no appreciation, or
to fear no reproach or contumely so
that there be no party dissatisfaction
not only allays the enjoyment of such
Institutions, but weakens, every day,
the foundations on which they stand.
No matter what the namo of the
party, the man who does not
vote for mere party success, is all
right-no matter if he falls short of
party standard. Such mon are con-
trolled by reason and not by party
label. They think and act for them

DECORATED BY THE QUEEN.
Unusual Honor bestowed Upon Two
English Military Dogs.

FROM the New Illustrated Magazine
Army pets whose sterling worth is appre-
ciated by their masters and their masters
cronies are numberless. but dogs who rise
to the position of 'regimental pets" who
become part and parcel OF the regiment at
home and in action. and who receive official
recognition, are comparatively few.
Bob" was the regimental pet of the "a
Battalion. Royal Berkshires and a soldier
dog to the backbone. He accompanied his
regiment to Afghanistau and went through
at the battle of Maiwand one of the most
terrific days fighting that has been known
during the past generation.
Man after man was cUt down, but Bob
would not be denied his share in the fray.
He kept on running To the front. barking
tiercely at the enemy. until al length a bull
let laid him low. The wound was serious
enough. as it tore nearly all the skin off
his back, but he recovered and once again
accompanied his Old corps into action.
When the regiment returned TO England
the next year Bob received great honor at
the hands OF the queen. her majesty not
only decorating him with the medal for the
campaign, but tying it round his nee. with
her own hands when the regiment paraded
before her Al Osborne House.
Like many another warrior. Bob did not
live long TO enjoy the blessings of peace.
In little more than a year he was run
over and killed in the Isle of Wight.
"Regimental Jack" the Scots Guards
dog, took part in the hottest fights I'm the
Crimea. He became the pet of the guards
in curious fashion.
One cold winters night he was found by
a sentry i'm 81. James Palace Gardens.
Some one had been brutaly ill-treating him
and had ended by fiinging him over the
high wall.
In befriendng the poor animal the sentry
left his post, and this dereliction Of duty
being discovered, he was placed in the
guard room under arrest The dog follow
ed his protector. and on hearing the story
the officer was touched by the dogs
gratitude that the prisoner was released,
with the proveTbial caution.
Henceforth Jack : fortunes were To- be
bound up with those of the Scots Guards.
When the regiment went to the CIimea
he very soon showed the stun Of which he
was made. At Alma he saved the lif. Of
his protector. and afterward carried a hask
of brandy to the wounded.
At Inkermap he was wounded in the right
foot, after literally performing prodigiss Of
valor. With his two-legged comrades he
charged and with tooth and nail went for
his cOuntrys enemies.
The fight over the faithful animal went
joyfully to find his protector Find him he
did, but ii was among The slain, and Jack
was disconsolate.
When the regiment came home the queen
graciously noticed Jack, and he was in
vested with a miniature Victoria Cross anu
the Crimean medals; but he pined away
from sheer lack Of Interest in life, and one
morning shortly afterward he was found
beneath the snow, sleeping his last sleep.
