West Virginia for her portion Of the

has brought no little trouble upon his
State. When Virginia settled her debt,
she appcrticned far share Of it, one
third, tc West Virginia, and there the
matter should have ended, s. far as
he is concerned. But as there is
always money in or about suits they

For DoSs and Horles.

DIR. II. II. Kane. president OF the
New York Road Drivers association,
has issued an appeal for the establish
ment OF dog cemeteries In each OF the
larger cities OF the United States, and
he also urges that an Institution for
the care OF old and worn out horses
be established. Both OF the ideas are
practicable. In London and In Paris
there are now dog cemeteries each OF
which is self-sustalning. There valued
pets are buried and tombs and monu-
ments are erected telling OF the faith
full services that they have done their
masters. The institutions are sup
ported by the sale OF burial lots Just
as are those where men and women
are buried. The Idea appeals TO lover
OF dogs, There are now dog and horse
hospitals In the chief cities; Chicago
has at least three. SO there seems
to be no reason why an Institution
for old horses should not be self-sus-
tanning n II were established. with a
slight endowment which might well be
made by lovers OF animals, The old
car and dray horses might still DO
shot, but sentimental reasons would
be strong enough TO warrant many
people In sending their faithful equine
pets TO a place where they might pass
their declining years in rest and com
fort earned by long and faithful SER
