hounds into Peru, but on the continent
the native warriors wore sort of ar.
NOR made of padded cotton cloth
Through this the dogs could not set
their teeth, but they could spring
easily as high as a warriors throat,
run in among the men, and. by butting
vigorously. cause them to fall, or, more
horrible still. they were encouraged to
prowl over the battlefelds and tear TO
pieces any wretched wounded Indian
who showed the least sign of life.
There were many among these brute
fighters who rose, by dint of hard serv-
Ice, high in the Spanish ranks, and the
names and deeds of some of them come
down TO us in history. In the island of
San Juan-now Puerto Rico-was re-
markable dog, so large that he went by
the name of Bercerrillo-little calf.
This renowned man eater destroyed the
lives of so many Indians that he was
promoted TO military grade, receiv-
ing the pay of a sergeant of the horse,
and a proportionate share of prize
money and spoils.
1t is told of Bercerrillo that he easily
comprehended all that was said to him,
and the value of any object On one oc-
casion, when the governor of San Juan
wished to send written message, he
gave it into the hands of an Indian
woman to deliver. Unfortunately her
way led past church, where group
Of Spanish soldiers were lounging, wait
ing for mass 10 begin. BercerriIlo was
with them. and in spirit of idle bru-
tality they proposed to set the dog on
the woman.
Bercerrillo needed but small encour-
agement. He rushed at the poor crea-
ture, who fell on her knees, the gov
ernor's message in her hand, crying:
NY lord dog, thy servant is sent with
this to the Christian lords down yonder
--see, here it is. Do me no harm, dog,
my lord.-
Smiling at her, the sagacious cres-
ture let her pass unharmsd>

TIE ROCKEFELLER M0NoLITH
Loftiest Shaft Ever Cut i'm the World
for the Grave of n Prf-
vnte Citizen.

The giant monolith ordered by John
d. Rockefeller from the. Barre (Vt.)
granite works, and which is being
dressed at the quarry, four miles from
town, is near TO completion.
This monolith, which is to be erected
in the Rockefeller family lot in Lake
view cemetery in Cleveland. O., is by far
the largest one ever quarried in Amer
lea, and is believed TO be the tallest and
most costly one to mark the last resting
place of private citizen anywhere in
the world. In this matter Mr.. Rookie
feller takes time by the forelock; he is
very much alive, and his health, If not
exactly robust, is good, and he shows
no sign of breaking down.
The cost of this monolith, delivered
on board the cars at Barre, viii be
about $4,000, and at least 1000 more
will be expended for transportation to
Cleveland and for the erection of the
mammoth stone in Lakeview cemetery.
This $4,000 is the cost of Mr.. John d.
Rockefeller's monolith, and is as drop
expenditure upon the family burial
plot; it is estimated that the cost Of
all the shafts, tablets and Vaults erect
ed on this plot viii be fully three-quar-
ters Of million dollars.
The dimensions OF Mr.. Rockefeller's
monolith are rather startling. The
stone has been quarried, and is being
dressed, in four parts, each Of the finest
quality of Vermont granite. The bot
tom base, so-called, is u feet square
and three feet high; the second base Is
nine feet two inches square and three
feet ten inches high; the die. which
surmounts the aforementioned piece, is
six feet eight inches square and seven
feet high; The spire IS Eve feet square

SPANISH WAR DOGS.
In Early Times They Wore Armor
and Were More Feared Than
Soldiers by Indians.

Aperreado is Spanish word, which
in the days when Spain was busy with
the conquest of the West Indies and
Central America struck cold terror tc
the hearts of the Indians. The word
means given TO the dogs" or to trans
late it yet more distinctly, it means
death by bloodhounds.
In Spain magnificent specimens OF
this canine race have always been
bred, and when Columbus set out on his
first voyage a few fine bloodhounds
constituted part of his fighting equip
ment. Not knowing with what ene-
mics he might have TO contend, he took
the hounds along to aid his men. but
Columbus was one of the few invaders
coming from Spain who treated the
Indians humanely, and not until after
he had gone back TO Europe, broken
and disgraced, were the hounds used
to torture the poor savages.
On all the dogs as well as the horses
the Spaniards brought over with them
the Indians looked with fear and rever-
ence. Ihe west lndlan saYages had not
only never seen animals so large, but
the fact that both dogs and horses per-
formed tasks and obeyed masters filled
the natives with respectful arnazement.
Their interest in these new brutes was
soon, however, turned TO dismay, when
the horses iron-shod hoofs struck down
women and children and the dogs were
employed in battle. So ferocious and
effective were these canine warriors. as
taught by their Christian masters, that
in Cuba one dog was more feared than
hundred armed men.
When Cortez took his famous first
expedition into Mexico. fine pack of
bloodbounds was among his most high
" valued fighters. Pizarro also took

Many persons in the Cherokee
nation are considerably excited
over the order which went out in
regard to the amount of land that
Cherokee citizen could hold un.
der the Curtis law. Eighty acres
was the amount fixed upon; this
however, was of the first grade. 1t
is not understood that this ruling
would hold good in case where the
land was second or third grade
lands; if so, it would work great
injustice to parties in possession
of the lower grades of land, as the
Times understands, (and this
opinion is strengthened by CONVEX
sations with those who have
right to know in this regard that
such ruling would cut those in
possession of the poor land down
to mere pitance. The object of
the ruling was TO not allow a few
parties to appropriate all of the
rich lands TO the injury of the less
fortunate. It's presumed that al
most every man knows just about
what is his equitable share Of
the Cherokee domain. Muskogee
