OPENINGS IN THE OLD TRAIL. By
Bret Barte. Published by Houghton,
Miffiln & Co., Boston, Mass. Price
$1.25.
The announcement of the death of
Francis Bret Harte lends new interest
to the recently issued volume of his
short stories, Openings In the Old
Trail" Although many years have
passed since his life in the new West
the nine new stories in this book are
as fresh and vigorous as those first
tales that stamped him the prince of
short STORY writer's There is the
same genial humor and picturesque
charm Of title, while Jack Hamlin
and Col. Starbottle make their last
bow to the world. In these tales the
keynote is ever the innate heroism and
self sacrifice that is in the bosom of
every man. There is ever the unex-
pected appearance OF high aspiration,
true love, the deeper insight, the self
abnegation brought out in forbid
ding situation or under the most re-
pulsive exterior. He sees the 'sleep-
ing angel in every stone,' the true
humanity in every nature. In these
later tales there is every quality that
went to make 1.-THE Luck of Roaring
Camp 1.-THE Tales of the. Argon-
auts, 3" and other collections of stories
known to all the English speaking
world OF the stories there is no
choice, although "Miss Peggy's Pro-
teges' strikes many responsive chords
Of memory that will not allow it to
be soon forgotten.
It is be noted also the significant
words with which Col. Starbottle /
iismisses his last romance:

ELABORATE DOG FUNERAL.
Owner of Dead st. Bernard Assuagei
His Grief by Having HiEl
Buried in Style.

One of the strangest funerals on rec.
ord was held in Brussels the other
day. The deceased was magnificent
St. Bernard dog, whose owner was in
consolable at his death and tried to
assuage his grief by having him buried
in pompous style.
The coffin was one of the costliest t
that could be procured, and it was at
tended to the graveyard by 200 en-
ployes of the dogs sorrowful master.
4 formal invitation, which was equiv
alent to a command, had been sent to
each of them to be present at the sad
ceremony, and they were further noti-'
fed that those who cared to do so
could take a look at the dog in his
coffin before the procession started for
the burial place.
Not single employe was absent
when the time came for taking this
last mournful look at the deceased,
and one by one they filed slowly by
the coffin, through the glass lid of
which the noble head could be distinct
ly seen as it rested on white pillow.
The procession to the grave, which
had been dug in a corner of a large
garden, was led by the dogs master,
who was so much affected that he wept
bitterly. Presumably the 200 employees
were in better humor, for they had
been told that they might spend the
remainder of the day as they pleased.

''1his was the plan, but il djdn't
work. The boys came to camp. went
back at night and found the calf in a
pen. But when one of them jumped
in to cut the calf's throat without maxi
ing any noise, the little beast set up
such a bleating that the farmer came
out and ordered the boys off. They
told him to go to blazes, when he de-
clared that he had guard and would
send him out. Dave thought this was
a bluff, and had just killed the calf
when the guard came out and ordered
that nothing on the place be touched.
mo sooner had the guard spoken
than the boys recognized the voice
as that of Haynes, who had been taken
in and cared for that night by the true
blue unionist. The boys were so over
joyed to find Haynes alive that they
gave themselves away and made no
attempt to conceal their identity.
After making much of Haynes they
brought the calf into camp, but the
next day the farmer came down,
proved his standing by Haynes, identi-
fed the calf thieves and they were re-
quired to pay the owner five dollars,
the captain lending them the money.
When they learned how the old farm
er had treated Haynes they were not
sorry-they thought the calf was
worth the mOney.'

ShOeleHY Feet.

''That story of Jack Jeffers," said
Sergt. Sam Grimshaw, according to
the Chicago Inter Ocean. reminded
me of Haynes, and that story of the
march down from Wild Cat reminded
me of another like it. After the bat
tie of Missionary Ridge our division,
with others, was ordered to Knoxville
to relieve Burnside. We were long on
ammunition and short on rations and
clothes, but, as the boys put it, we
marched so darned fast we had lit
tie time to enjoy our misery. And we
didn't feel any better when we learned,
only ten miles from Knoxville, that
Burnside had licked Longstreet, and
that we were to return at once to Chat
tanooga.

tions, and weighted down with am
munition, and going back was worse
than going forward, with the prospect
of fight in front. But, much to our
relief, we turned, after we had re-
crossed the Clinch river into the Con-
