as well as handsome, the building be-

with a cage fashion of balconies in the
Spanish style. The chief entrance was
directly before us, a step leading up to
it. and I noticed that the door was a
very strong affair and in height and
bigness was sufficient for little

opened and an cid negro put out his

1t is one of the peculiarities in the COM
position OF Tommy Atkins and he holds
the privilege as too sacred to be tranlpied
upon.
There can be no question but that these
dogs are kindly treated when the troops
are in barracks. it is true that they do
not appear on the books in the army office
ana that their existence is not officially
recognized. In spite of this, however.
the dogs are well fed as long as there is
anyone to take an interest in feeding
them. They know the bugle-cals to dim
ner and they answer it with the same reg
ularlty as the men themselves, but now
the latter have departed and left the bar
racks deserted there have been no mess
calls to be needed.
1t is difficult for those who are not
posted in military affairs to realize how
thoroughly the barracks of Great Britain
nav been emptied by the call for troops.
IN England, in Scotland. in Ireland and
wales the empty barracks are all tina
are left in many sections of the country
to tell the story of the bodies Of troops
that are on their way to battle against
the Beers. Already nearly forty thou
sand men have left the shores of England
and barren barracks may been seen in
no less than thirty-Seven counties.
While the census of the dogs of the
army has never been taken, it is safe to
say thai the departure of this mass of
solulefS means that no less than two
thousand CANNES have been left unpro-
Vided for. These dogs are of all kinds
ana OF all sizes. Some are of the breeds
that are ordinarily regarded as lap dogs,
many of the animals are bird dogs, some
are of the larger breeds and some are of
such mixed descent that it would be diff
cult to classify them unde any head ex-
cept as plain dog" 1t must be ad-
mitted, however, that a majority of the
dogs have a trace of bull in their COM
position and a better trained or better
ehave lot of animals it would be diff
cult to find anywhere.

attention Of the charitable a fund was at
once collected and from this money the
dogs will be properly fed. The attention
that was attracted by the enterprise also
had the effect of calling to the mind of
kind hearted men and women that a SIM
liar condition of affairs must exist at
other empty barracks and the result is
that quite a considerable sum of money
has already been subscribed for the pur-
pose of keeping flesh on the bones Of
these dogs until the "absent-minded beg
Sars' return to their C.l %eterning
ground.
No one who is not acquainted with the
men who go to make up the English army
can fully appreciate the magnltudeo of this
charitable work. When troops are sta
toned in barracks there is scarcely a
common soldier who does not feel an
overwhelming desire 10 own a dog and
it is not difficult for him to attain this
ambition. AS the result barracks often
resamble a dog show turned loose. In
fact, one would be surprised to know how
many dogs could be attached to a single
regiment. There they are. however, and
woe be to he who would issue orders
forbidding his men to possess such prop
erty.

ANOTHER FLOOD EXPECTED.

New York Cor. St. Louis Republic:
Milton Stewart, of New Haven, Conn.,,
believes that the Almighty is on the point
OF wreak!ng vengeance upon the ungodly
OF this land. He is building an ark on
the top of West rock, a big hill near that
city, five miles from water, and he says
he is willing to take aboard all who have
faith hen the Almighty floods the land,
which, he predicts, will be in the form of
devastation which will visit the United
States. He says the waters Of the At
tantc ocean viii be let loose upon the
land by the powerful hand of the Deity
and the earth drowned out as it was in
the early ages.
Il believe that the wickedness which
has made the United States degenerate
morally will assuredly be punished. 1
am positive that Almighty will roll the
waters of the Atantic and the Pacific
upon this broad country, and tina every
acres of land will be completely inunat-
ed. Even the highest peaks Of the
Rocky mountains will go under, but I
do not think it will be as long as the
first flood was III the days of Noah. 1
have been sure of this ever since last
summer, when I had a dream, in which
Christ appeared to me in a vision and
told me that the sins of the people would
be wiped out by a flood and that only a

MS interest is conferred in his dog. 1t is
possible that the animal may be the only
tie OF affection he has and to him he de-
votes much of his attention when he is
not actually engaged in army duties. AS
the result the dogs are taught all kinds
OF tricks which they perform to the de-
lisht Of the other soldier, for reward in
the shape of such enticing dainties as the
men brought from the mess.
Whlle Tommy may be "absent-ninded."

said to his credit that he did not leave
MS pets without a pang of regret. Some
OF the partings between the men and their

the slightest doubt that many of the SOL

pleasant hour worrying as to what may
have happened to the dogs they left be-
him them. Under such circumstances it
is not strange that the sentiments of
and humanity in the hearts of
the English people should have led them
to provide for the care of these deserted
animals even if there was no poet like
Kipling to inspire such charity with his
verses.

it is these dumb beasts who really dis
cover the meaning of %privation as soon
as the absent-minded beggar who has
been providing for them sails away.
Fortunately for the animals, however,
others have not been as needless of their
welfare and the appeal for money to pro-
vide for the pets of the absent soldiers
has struck such a responsive chord IN
the heart of every dog loving Briton that
there is little likelihood that the animals
will suffer.
The crusade on behalf of the dogs of
the army was inaugurated by a Methodist
clergyman at Aldersilot. He had his at
tention called to the Woebegone appear
ance of the dogs and it took him but lit
tie time to discover that the animals had
not had a square meal since the troops
that had been stationed at the Aldershot
barracks had been ordered to the front.
OF course, the dogs that had belonged to
the officers had been provided for. Lord
Airlie's Mick had been sent to a COM
Portable home where he had everything
that any well educated dog could desire.
with the possible exception of the mems
salutes, an honor that he always accepted
with conscious dignity. Tom" the cham
pion bull dog owned by Lord George
Montagu Scott. had been sent to Dalkeith
palace to await the fail of Pretoria n
the return Of the Tenth Hussars, but
the scores of canines who had looked to
the common soldiers for their food had
been left to care for themselves.
AS soon as this TACT was called to the
