DUKES ROUND OF CALLS.
Milwaukee Canine Which Regularly Wis.
it's Minister and Others in
Neighborhood.

A pastor must needs have many call
ers, but not everyone receives morning
visits from dog. Such, however, is the
peculiar privilege Of Rev. D. Z. Den
man, pastor of the First Baptist Church,
in Milwaukee, Wis. Duke, the intel
ligent canine in question, precedes his
calls as people do, by ringing the cleo
trio door bell, using his paw to press the
button. q
The first time or two that Duke called
in this manner Mrs. Denman came to the
door, and; seeing no one there, ran down
the steps to the street to look up and
down for the visitor. No one could be
seen except handsome Duke, sitting up
on the piazza with hisS right paw extend
ed for a shake. Mrs.. nenman was so
near the door upon a repetition Of these
to believe that Duke had rung the bell,
since no one person would have had time
to even scud away. l. - !, @4s5 I. y.
Duke makes his calls very early somc-
times. The maid has Wonderingly relat-
ed to her mistress the ringing Of the
door bell early in the morning, when,
upon going to the door, there was. no one
there but dog. Ut II = ~ : ! l. Z
OF course now that Duke is understood

ciated. He never has any time to stop
and gossip. but after shaking = hands
around he lopes off on the business of
the day. Neither does he attempt to- ell
ter the house. 49, - = -
The dog is the property of John Kre-
mer, secretary Of the Val Blatz Brewing
Company, $40 Marshall street. Mr.. Kre-
mer is in Europe and Duke is though to
have been lonesome. He has been in
charge Of John Kruger, Mr.. Kremer's
Goa Gilman, during the summer, the latter
living in the rear Of No. 679. Mr.. Krue-
ger says that the dog has naturally
picked up number Of tricks without
ever having been taught He will bring
the paper from the street and give it to
Mrs. Kruger, and shake hands like a
president. Each morning he goes to his
next door neighbor for his breakfast, sit
ting on the rear porch and begging for
his food in a polite tone until heard. If,
perchance, he gets hungry through the
morning, Duke will go to a boarding
house on the corner and beg in the same
manner.
He delights to play with one of Mr..
Kremer's three horses. The other two
are never approached, but this equine
friend can and often does pick Duke up
bodily by grasping the scruff of the dogs
back with his teeth.
Duke is handsome Scotch collie with
a white vest and tawny back. His
head has the sharp point of the shepherd
set off with handsome and intelligent
eyes. He is 3 years old.-Evening Wis

The handsomest ones are in two or
more shades of red, but since there are
many rooms done in colors which would
"swear'' at this shade the rugs in vari-
GUS greens are of equal value. Indeed,
green goes with anything and is, there
fore, always safe. These are in two or
more shades each, being on the olive, en-
pire, grass, reseda or bronze tones.
Heretofore about the only rug one
could get that looked we'll with the light
est Wilton carpets was a silky white
goat skin or polar bear. Polar bears,
unfortunately. do not grow on every
bush. Even if they did one would ike
one of these new little rugs in addition,
since with rugs it is as with fine laces
and china-a woman never gets enough.
These newest of mohair plush rugs are
delicate cream white in broche effect.
Outside of the white FUR rugs and the
palest, ,silkiest and most expensive of
Oriental rugs, it is next to impossible to
find one that that is in perfect harmony
with the almost white drawing rooms
and boudoirs now in vogue. These are
the newest of the mohair plushes.-New
