Wagner ana His Dog Peeps.

Richard Wagner, the composer, was
devoted to dogs, and Pops had become
Wagner's property during his stay at
Riga. He had belonged in the first
place, says Our Animal Friends, to an
English merchant, but became pas
sionately attached to Wagner and fol-
lowed him everywhere, lying on his
doorstep at night. The original owner
found it useless to attempt to keep
him.
On the way TO rehearsal the dog was
IN the habit Of taking a daily bath in
the canal. Reing a Russian dog, it is
recorded Of him that he kept up this
habit even in winter, provided he could
find hole in the ice.
Pops was one of the great composers
most famous dogs. Wagner always in
sisted that Pops helped him to compose
"Tannhauser."
When at the piano singing, the dog,
whose constant place was at his feet
would occasionally leap to the table,
peer into his face and howl piteousfy.
Then Wagner would address his el0~
quent critic with:
What, 1t does not suit your"
Then, shaking the animals paw, he
would say, paraphrasing Shakespeare:
"Well, | will do thy bidding gently
Pops is frequently mentioned in his
correspondence. If Wagner remained
too long at his work, Pops would re-
mind him it was time to walk.
Il am done up and must get into the
open air. he writes once. "Peps won't
leave me in peace any longer"

TO HOLD CELEBRATION
 ON GLORIOUS FOURTH

At the meeting yesterday of General Sumpter Chapter. Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution, with Mrs. J. H. Carter, the daughters decided upon holding their usual celebration on the Fourth of July. On the approaching occasion they will have reception at the residence of Mra Joseph R. Smith, Jr.. when the exercises will include patriotic songs and speeches.
 The most important report made at the meeting yesterday was that of Mrs. R. D.. Johnston. whose report of the convention of Mount Vernon regents was read by Mrs. J. Morgan Smith. Mrs. Johnston Is Alabama regent for Mount Vernon, and her report told of the action of the regent in regard to the controversy between Ala bama and Massachusetts.
 It will be recalled that there has been q misunderstanding as to the hall in Mount Vernon, both Alabama and Massa- chusetts claiming 1t as their particular part of Mount Vernon to preserve. The claims of Massachusetts were recognized Mount Vernon has been in another build irg. The action giving the hall to Massa- chusetts has been rescinded and the Mount Vernon regents have prevented any further complications by making Mount Vernon a national institution and the work of preserving it and furnishing it the work of all the states no particular part of Mount Vernon to be given to any one state.
 This decision met with the hearty ap proval of the Daughters yesterday. It Is considered very happy solution of the natter.
 Among the Daughters present were: Mrs. L. G. Woodson, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith. Mrs. J. c. Carmichael, Mrs Joseph R. Smith. Jr., Mrs. Hugh Morrow. Mrs. Calvin Jones, Mrs. A. M. Robertson, Mrs. Robert McDavid Mrs. Ned McDavid. Mrs. Gillespie, Mrs. Cecil, Mrs. Forrest Tyler, Mrs. William Estes. Mrs. Guy Hamilton. Mrs. Dimmick, Mrs. Rose Gar land Lewis, Mrs. Florence Jordan.
