Biggest Dog in the World.

Oakland, Cal, claims the distinction
Of having the largest known dog in the
world It is a huge st. Bernard of the
smooth-coated variety. He bears the
name of Rex Watch, and belongs to
J. J. Duckworth, Jr. There may be
other dogs larger in some one particu-
lar, but taking him by pounds and
inches, it is believed Rex Watch can
make good the claim put forth in his
behalf.
He weighs POI pounds.
He measures 6 feet inches from tip
to tip.
He stands thirty-seven inches high
at the hips and thirty-fve inches at the
shoulder
His girth is forty-seven inches.
1t takes a thirty-three-inch collar to
circle his neck.
His ankle spans eight inches.
Rex Watch is not quite 4 years old,
and is still growing. He is the son Of
the famous st. Bernard, Champion Rex,
who won prizes in Chicago in 1893 as
the finest and biggest st. Bernard. The
father weighed 1877 pounds, and he was
sold for $4,000 after his triumphs dur
ing the Columbian Exposition. He was
bred in the Alps, so that Rex Watch is
only one remove from the native place
of his race.
Rex Watch was one of three st. Ber-
nard puppies given to J. J. Duckworth,
ST., Of Salt Lake City in payment Of a
mortgage for 81 1900. When. the new
owner of the puppies took them home
he was able to put all three in a soap
box A month later the box was not big
enough for one Of them.

Grants Views on Sheridan

General Sheldon, Ex-Governor of
New Mexico, relates that General
Grant once said in his hearing, speak
ing of American army officers: Gen
eral Sheridan was always where I ex-
pected him to be at any designated
time. He accomplished as much as or
more than [ expected him to accom-
pHsh. [ tell you, gentlemen, Philip
Henry Sheridan is the ablest military
man now living, and If this country
should become engaged in a war with
any or several of the great powers of
Europe during my term as President
L should give him command of the ar
mics OF the United States" "While T
was Governor of New Mexico" CON
tlnued Governor Sheldon, General
Sheridan came out and paid our conn
try there little visit. l told him
then what Grant had said. He lauoh-
ed and replied:
Well, when a fellow is expected +o
be around anywhere he ought to no

The BraVest Act,

Col. William f. Cody declares that
one Of the bravest acts he has ever
seen was at the battle of New Hope
Church, Georgia, on May q, 1864. Ma
jOr John M. Farquhar was the man
whose act Colonel Cody deems worthy
to be set down beside any that history
has ever recorded. The story of the
brave deed is printed in the Washing
ton Times.
At that time Major Farquhar was
provost marshal of the third division
Of the Fourth Army Corps Of the Army
of the Cumberland. He was detailed
by Gen. Thomas ]. Wood, commanding
the third division, to carry an order to
the colonel of the Thirty-second Indi-
ana Volunteer Infantry.
He started to execute the order, but
found the way so obstructed by Con-
federate forces that he could not get
through except by making a wide de-
tour. To do this meant defeating the
plan of the commanding general
There was little time for him to
think. The dispatch was in his hands;
he was responsible for it's safe delivery.
Failure meant defeat. Major Farquhar
realized these things as only a soldier
can.
In front of him stretched the wall Of
the Confederate breastworks. Without
an insta0t's hesitation he urged his
horse up the side of the breaStworks,
and under the fire of ten thousand mus
kets used the top for a bridle-path for
a distance Of about one hundred and
fifty yards, until he found a place
where he could continue his journey
without danger of being again halted
or hindered.
Mental, moral and physical bravery
were required to accomplish what
Major Farquhar did. He never lost
his mental balance, else he would not
have been so quick to think of a way
out Of the difficulty The knowledge
of the responsibility placed on his
shoulders made him morally brave.
AS for the physical danger, no man
could dare more than riding a hun
dred yards under fire on the top of the
enemy's breastwOrks.

In the last hour of the battle Of Chick
amauga, as our regiment was moving
off the field some men passed me, car
rying a wounded man Of the Tenth
Ohio, and called to me to help. The
mans leg had been broken, and he was
so helpless that the two men support
ing him were making slow progress.
l lent a hand without dropping out of,
the ranks at first but as the march be-
came more rapid, was compelled to fall
behind. We did not want to leave the
man, and still we didn't want to lose
sight of our command.
'In this extremity, we came upon a
deserted house, and left the man there
to take care of himself. l never heard
what became Of him. After resting a
few minutes, started for my regi-
ment and came upon another house,
deserted and with the table set, ready
for supper I walked through and
caught up a pickle from the table and
was eating it when a wounded COM
rade, to whom had given all my hard
tack early in the day came in. Eating
as we found it, and made our way
through the dark to where the reserve
corps was camped just east of Ross
Vile Gap
ION that day saw Colonel King of
the regular brigade shot. He was push
ing three ammunition wagons up to
the beleaguered lines out Of ammuni-
ton, and had just reported to General
Palmer when he was struck by a rebel
bullet and fell off his horse After his
death, his brigade, out Of ammunition
and occupying a very exposed position,
seemed gradually to melt away.
"All the time, the men who still had
a few rounds of ammunition left, kept
closing in on the cOlors, and when the
ammunition was all gone, the color
bearer stood to the front, waved the
flag, and in a clear, resonant voice be-
gan to sing, Rally Round the Flag,
Boys, Rally Once Again. The little
band of his comrades, with empty, ST.
lent rifles, joined in the song and as
the Thirty-sixth Indiana Regiment
swept UP to rescue them, we all joined
in and made the woods ring. The old
song never sounded so we'll to me as it
did to that mimic ball accompaniment"
