A Famous War Dog.

London Express.
 After going through three campaigns, Drummer, the famous war dog of the Northumberland Fusiliers, was poisoned recently at Colchester.
 Drummer was all through the Egyptian campaign, and was present at the battle of Omdurman. where. 1t is said. 'he snap ped at the bullets as if they were flies"
 He went to South Africa with the first regiments sent out, and was present at Magersfontein, where his then master, Major Ray of the Northumberland Fu- slliers, was killed.
 When General French relieved Kimber- ley Drummer was one of the first to en- ter the, town, where he was greeted by Mir. Cecil Rhodes. who presented him with a biscuit.
 At wyneberg he was wounded in the shoulder, and Queen Victoria signiied her intention of presenting him with medal when he returned from South Africa. but the war office raised objection.
 Drummer. however, had several minia- ture medals and clasps. representing Dia- mond Hill, Johannesburg, Paardeberg. Drienfontein, Belmont and Moddor River.
 He possessed the distinction of being the only dog Lord Methuen allowed to accompany his column from Orange Riv- CT, and last year the "DogT AnnuAi was dedicated to him. accompanying the dedication being . euiogistie article on the old canine campaigner.

OUR coNscrENcE FUND.
It Was Started With q Dollar in the
 Year 1911.

Ainslee's Magazine ,..z..s. In the year 1911 an anonymous cifixen or New York sent a dollar to the Treasury De- partuient at washington with an ayowal tret he had defrauded the Government and wanted to make restoration. A dollar meant sQne- thinr to Uncle Sam in those necessitous days when the country verged on war with 0feat Britain and it was a patriotic as well es penitent act The contributor was the founaer of the conscience fund, and probably nc oxed in the odor of sanctity.
 During the preceding thirty-hve yean .ot the life of the Republic no one had despoied the Government or the private consctence VI callous. This New York man. indeed, seemn to have been the one biemish on golden era of national virtues, for fifty years were to elapss before there was an addition 10 hs fund.
 In 1881. just after Sumter was fired on. the sum of so 900 in bonds was received by the that . sorely tried conscience could no lpnesr endure its burden of guilt. The plain 1nfer- ence was that the sender. realizing tho United States would need mint of money to carry on the war, judged 1t not to be . time to de- fer repentance. Think of the bounty jumpers who profted by his contribution!
 It was really useful to the country Tn an- other way. The conscience fund. which had iansuished Tor want of Q shining example. now became active. It has been quoted pretty steadily ever since. At the present time ft amounts to $500. 900. Indeed. restitution is getting to be the fashion. and the tirae may come when no one will take advantage of the Government or do so only with the laudi64o design of swelling the conscience fund when any emergency confronts Uncle Sam.
