LITTLE DOT.
A Worcester Fox-Terrier
Became Famous.

Its a shame to abandon as hand
some a dog as that is soliloquized a
newspaper man of one of the Worces-
ter dailies one May morning few
years ago, and he bent down to view
more closely the crouching fox-terrier
at his feet, in whose liquid brown eyes
he fancied he could read dumb plea
for the love and protection which We're
so evidently lacking.
She was a pretty little creature,
strongly marked with black, but her
silllen ears dropped sadly, her snort
tail responded but feebly to his ca
resses, and an absence of collar con-
firmed his suspicion that she had been
cast forth alone into the unfeellrg
world, which is even harder on dogs
than on men.
Now, the newspaper man had a
weakness for all members of the dog
family, and he kept thinking Of his
own lively foX-terrier. He eyed the
founding with satisfaction, when, If
ter repeated shifts about mis- legs as
if to assure herself of his SIN
certify, she settled herself serenely I'M
der his desk, which action he accepted
as final proof of her desire for his
friendship. WherA the day waned, he
tucked the little vcreature under the
office boys arm and directed him to
take her to the newspaper mans resi-
dence, chuckling the while as he
thought of his familys comments
when a second foX-terrior should be
introduced. He had really no cause
for alarm, however, for the whole
household received her with open arms.
Her diminutiye size instantly secured
for her the name of Dot, and the baby
and the dog who rightfuny belonged

nut in all its delicate flavor is ready
for the market.

been very perceptible decline in tho
demand for Spanish sailed peanuts
Sentiment had nothing to. do. how
ever, with the deolihe. the pqhfio pre-
ferrlng the Virginia product, becauseA AZ
is large, while the Spanish nut is small.
and does not possess the full flavor that
is the characteristic of the Virginia nut.
Mr.. ShooShan gets his nuts from
Norfolk, the center OF the peanut indus
try, but ne prepares both kinds for the
Worcester and Boston markets, although
the sale of the Spanish nut is now very
small in compartsonswith the other. He
established the salted peanut business
here in Worcester an 1894 lat a time
wheni thsre was hardlyfany demand for
the nut, and it's toothsome qualities
were scarcely known.
Since that time the business has adj
vanced by rapid strides. and today he
supplies all the leading druggists, news
stands and candy stores. Business has
risen to such proportions that he now
has Jobber to look after his interests.
Worcester is the largest buyer of salt
ed peanuts Of any city In New England,
and thus affords another illustration Of
her culture in epicurean tastes.

NO CEREAL TRUST.

The effort to unite all the leading
breakfast foods of the world in trust
has met with failure. A report comes
from Chicago that the officers of the
old American Cereal Company have
called the new American Cereal Com
pany off. The subscriptions were due
last Monday but the total sum received
was only $4,600,000, while the sum re-
quired was $60O0,000 1t is said many
subscribers failed to pay in their money
because of the decline In the market
price of the underwriting rights.
Inc excuse they gave was an injunc-
ton secured in Akron, o., against the
old American Cereal Company, the
principal corporation in the trust, pre-
venting it from merging in the new or
ganization.
The American Cereal Company was
formed in New Jersey, with a capital of
$SS,oOOOO0, of which $4,000, 900 was Z
per cent non cumulative preferred and
S1S,O00OOO common. 1t was designed to
take in Is distinct corporations.

1.-TWO sweethear.s of Mine"

This song was received by US from
the publishers few days ago and the
melody and words were so pretty and
melodious that we cannot help but
reprint the chorus for our readers:
One has hair OF silvery gray,
The other just like gold,
One is gay and youthful
While the others bent and old.
But dearer than life are both to me,
And from neither would / part,
One is nay mother, God bless her |
love her,
The other is my sweet heart.
