a compliment to our judg-

We are mighty glad of it
too, for they are prettier
than ever this year.
We have about twice as
many as last year, and the
fact tina: they are ALL 1900

in their favor. The prices
are no higher than we would
sell the old ones for, if we
had any to sell.

One Strictly Honest Dor.

A. 81. Honeywell, of Greenwich,
Conn.,, has an honest dog, which he
keeps at his home in Portchester, The
dogs honesty was proved when he
found a pocketbook belonging to a
woman .neighbor of Mr.. Honeywell.
Not knowing the woman's name, he
brought the purse in his mouth to
his master and laid it at his feet, then
refused to leave the room until the
purse had been opened and visiting
card containing the rightful owners
name was disclosed along with the
money. The dog then knew that ev-
erything was all right. and walked off
wagging' his tail. The woman had
lost her purse in the snow while get
ting into her carriage. She rewarded
the dog with blue ribbon when Mr.
Honeywell returned her purse intact.
The story was originally told that the
dog counted the money and made
memorandum of the amount before
turning it over to Mr.. Honeywell. but
reflection made it plain that this
would have made it disconrteous. and
the story was corrected in time tn
save. Fido's reputation.
