with me at one of the most celebrated
of the fashionable west end restau-
rants. Well, the repast was served in

DOG AND PUPPY CRATES.
Made For the Convenient Transport
tntiOn of These Animals.

Made For the convenient VrAnBpOf-
tntion of These Animals.
The dog that is shipped by express is
likely to travel In these days not only
In safety, but also In comfort. There
are various kinds of dog crates made
especially for such use, some of them
fat topped and some of those of later
design gable topped and some oval
topped, so that nothing can be placed
on top Of them. Dog crates are made
In various sizes as well as styles, some
with open, Slated sides and ends, some
closed all around, except for the open
spaces left for ventilation. Crates for
bulldogs and dogs that gnaw are made
with Stats that, whether separated or
set close together. are iron bound, so
that the dogs can't set their teeth in
the edges.
The dog crate is provided with cup
for water which is so constructed that
the water can't spill out Of 1t, and this
cup is secured In the crate under the
end Of pipe to which there is an open
ing in the top of the crate through
which the dog can be kept supplied
without opening the crate at all. At
tached to the front Of the crate is the
dogs buffet, like a long canvas wallet
or envelope, in which the dogs food
is carried. The dog crate has at the
ends handles by which it can be picked
up and carried as trunk would be.
Besides these various sizes and styles
of dog crates there are also made in
various sizes smaller, lighter crates for
puppies, and crates Of one sort and an
other of special sizes are made to or
der.
First and last there are sold good
many dog and puppy crates, and they
are regular articles Of stock where dog
supplies are sold.-New York San.

REMEMBRANCE.


In lone bleak wood wild rose grew. Y
No eye ever saw it, mind ever knew 3
But the flower was none the less as fair
As any that ever breathed the air.
1t gazed up to the calm, cold sky
And shuddered to think it soon must die.
1t languished, and its heart grew chill;
The caress of zephyr might well nigh kill,
But passing breeze gave encouragement
And bore afar its delicate scent;
The breeze thus laden kissed child
Who played in the meadow and, pausing, smiled.
The dear enchantment of that spot
The child, through lifetime, never forgot
The soul Of the rose, with its last sweet breath,
Leaped forth to meet approaching death,
And gave to the breeze every crimson fake;
Twas all it had, for memory's sake.
No eye ever saw it, no mind ever guessed
The sweetness OF its final rest.
How came l to know it? Twas told by the dew
How sweet Is Remembrance, and tell you.

Is more common than we may think, If
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many a person who would resent
the term as an insult. The fact OF this
gluttony is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
ton Is vweak y stomach. The vweak
stomach fails In furnishing adequate nu-
triton for the body, and soon the ~weak-
ness spreads from the stomach to other
organs.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
enables the perfect assimilation OF food,
by which alone the health and strength
of the body is maintained.

cannot praise it too highly,s writes Mrs. e. L.

A Snow Hurricane.

The Duran, or snow hurricane Of the
Pamirs is a meteorological phenome-
non of great interest. Even In mid
summer the temperature during a
snow Duran frequently falls to Ia de-
grees f., while in the winter of 1923
1t dropped to As degrees below zero at
the end of January. The Duran comes
with startling suddenness, the atmos-
phere growing dark with whirling
snowfiakes where scarcely a minute
before the sky was perfectly clear

A TERRIFIC Tumble.

Most marvellous Of all the stories of
great falls is the account of Charles
Woolcot's terrific tumble from height
of no less than 5000 feet. 1t was In
Venezuela, and he was making para
chute descent. The parachute refused
to open till within 100 or 200 feet from
the ground. Then it spread out sud-
denly and split.
The unfortunate man crushed both
ankles and both knees, broke his right
thigh and hip, dislocated his spinal col
umn and suffered other injuries. Yet
after year In hospital he recov-
cred sufficiently to write an account Of
what was probably the most fearful
accident mortal man ever survived.

KnocIx. Thetr Shoes ON.

Strange as 1t may seem, people kill
ed In a railroad wreck are generally
bereft of their shoes by the shock. In
commenting on this popularity an old
railroad engineer said: "A man who is
killed in a railroad accident seldom
dies with his boots on. don't know
why this should be, but it is fact. 1t
is particularly true in the case Of a
man who is struck by an engine and
killed. In nine cases out Of ten, when
the body is picked up, it will be found
minus shoes. Even men wearing heavy
top boots are not exempt from this
strange rule Why is 1t? | guess you'll
have to ask somebody who is wiser
than | am" Philadelphia Record.

slowTrains.

Slow railroad trains are probably not
peculiar to any locality. The story of
the conductor who waited for the hen
to complete the dozen of eggs for the
market is part of the folklore Of
widely diverse regions.
There used to run over a Vermont
road-and also, 1t may be remarked,
over a Wisconsin road-what was
known as the "huckleberry train," the
jest being that 1t was so slow that
passengers could jump off at the front
end Of the train and pick huckleberries
for awhile and then get on at the rear
end as 1t came up
The engineer of the Vermont train
of this title is imaginatively declared
to have shot two cartridges one day
from his cab, which the fireman ire
trieved" without any additional "slow-
ing uD"
