The loss of all his family, VINO died
within a few weeks of diphtheria In
1879, broke his heart and started him
on the downward path. His money
melted away, and from a prince among
gamblers he became a common faro
dealer, falling lower and lower until
he sank to the level of a hanger-on in
the lowest class OF games.
Pierce's reputation for fair dealing
was none of the best. He gambled to
win, and of his favorite epigrams
was: I'D rather go to - with the
sinners than to Heaven with the suck
ers."
John L. Sullivan was one of the old
mans friends, and on learning OF his
death offered to pay all the funeral
expenses. Similar offers were made by
Jim Wakeley, Paul Farrell and other
sporting men.

ELEVATED DOG KENNEL.

skyward CANNES Whose Feet Never
Touched Earth
A dog kennel upon the roof of a six
story building surrounded by tail sky
scrapers, in the midst of the busiest
portion OF the business center, is n
OF the curiosities Chicago has to offer.
says the Chicago Tribune. This novel
kennel is located upon the roof of a
prominent downtown theater and is
the property OF a department store i'm
mediatety adjoining. 1t has been
maintained with great success for
three years., The dogs in this kennel
are fox terriers and are used by the
manager Of the department store to
keep the place clear of rats that fairly
overran the place before their intro
ductiOn. The manager claims they are
superior TO cats or professional rat
catchers, as, unlike cats, they are
clearly in their habits, and unlike the
professional rat man they do get rid
of the rats that infest the place, both
by killing and frightening them away.
Before We introduced these little
four-footed guardians the damage
wrought by rodents ran up into ths
thousands of donars every year; now
our loss is comparatively slight" said
the manager. There have never been
less than six and sometimes as high
as twenty dogs in the kennels at n
time. Twenty filters of puppies have
been born during the two years the
janitor has been in charge, averaging
five pups to the litter. This makes 100
dogs that have sprung to life upon the
rooftop in that time, and of that num-
Der but one was lost, and it was acct
dentally pushed over the edge of the
roof into the areaway in the rear of the
building and was crushed to death by
the fall of six stories.
There are at present even dogs in
the kennels, and but one of them, a
bull terrier lately iat 'oduced, has ever
set foot upon the ground.
Perhaps as curious as anything con
nected with these aerial kennels are
the names the j~anitor, who is of a
poetic nature, has bestowed upon the
dogs. There are six fox terriers, the
males being named Sky" "Air,"
CLOUD" Smoke" and "Vapor," while
the female glories in the name Of Sun.
shine" The bull terrier, which is as
white as bull terriers can be, bears
the name of SCOT"
