with a rabid vivisectionist, then prar-

Hirth's colleague was trying to tinc
out how long the dogs could stand
being left without food before they
would fall upon and devour each
other. The dogs were fed on wind
for two weeks, yet looked round and
bappy. The vivisectionist cousrinr

Post.
The kennel being closed on all
sides. it seemed impossible for any
one to feed the dogs on the sly
Still. the fact remained that they re

dispose of large share Of his wealth
while he is yet alive; but instead oi
investing it in libraries or schools he
is building monuments on the Brandy
wine battlefield. He refused to tell
how much he has spent in this way,
but competent judges say the statues
and shafts which he has erected have
cost fully $4,000. He has just COM
plete.l his most elaborate monument,
u memorial to Gen. Lafayette, built oi
granite at cost of $1,000. Already he
is planning other designs to honor
the various commanders who partici-
pated in the battle.

needs. His wife and child and several
relatives were buried in the cemetery

the picturesque hills along the Brandy

ercises were held on September II,

long afterward, under the influence
of the storms that swept the exposed
hillside. the terra Gotta monument be
gan to crumble, and it is now in ruins
When Mr.. Taylor began his work
of building monuments he first pro-
yided suitable memorials for'his wife
and child. Three statues, made III
Italy, of the best white marble OF that
country, were erected on the Taylor
plot. one being a life size figure OF
his wife. another representing Jesus
Christ, and the third being group
consisting of the Virgin Mary and tw"
cherubim. These statues were incased
in glass and placed on massive pedes-
tails OF glazed briH.

enlist the cooperation OF the state
legislature in'erecting monument to

fered to bear most OF the expense,
merely asking the state to give share
SO that the project might not appear
to b, entirely an individual enterprise.

ceeded with his plans, and under his
supervision the monument has no"

generations an eternal pledge OF un-
