TRIP 10 EUROPE FOR DOG CARE
 TAKER.
H. .. Newman Rewardg Man Who

For taking good care of the his fine English bulldogs, President H. c. New man of the New York Central Railroad has made Thomas Grisdale a present Of trip to Europe He sailed Wednes- da, to be gone for six weeks at his em-. ployer's expense.
 MT. Newman lives at the Waldorf Astoria, where, of course, he cannot keep his pet bulldogs. So he hires private stable in East Thirty-second street, a short distance from the ho- tel, where he goes to see the dogs either in the morning before going to business or after he leaves the office in the after noon. They are cared for as tenderly as race horses.
 MT. Newman does not sell his dogs, said MT. Grisdale to a reporter for the New York Times. If the family gets a little too big he makes a present of puppy to one of his friends im- agine he is very careful whom he gives them to. No man who loves dogs Will give them to persons who don't know how to take care of them. or who, from sheer carelessness, will let them suffer. I know of an instance right here on Fifth avenue where man refused to give bull puppy to his grown up daughter because, as a child, she had been cruel to her pets. So she got her
 uncle to buy her a bulldog, and within two weeks it died of broken heart just pined away. Bulldogs of good breed are the most delicate of animals.
 They must be brought up like babies. q have done a little dog raising on my own account, getting sixteen pup pies from three mothers. A good bull | pup will sell easily at $125. and have known some of them to bring twice that sum. They are particularly val uable for watch dogs, because of their lferocious appearance The mere sight
 of bulldog standing on the steps of house is enough to strike terror to the heart of tramp or a thief. As gen. eral thing such dogs like to prowl a.
 round at night and sleep in the day time. But even If they do sleep at
 might, the slightest sound awakens | them.
 l ITO his owner and the members of
 the household the bulldog is the great est creature full of affection and faith fitness. They are high-bred, aristo-
 cratic creatures, the top-notch of dog l dom, delicate in constitution and difti- cult to raise. A blue-ribbon dog with . a pedigree as long as that of the Count
 ess often dies after the first litter of l puppies
 I 1T was walking along Madison ave- nue one day with one of MT. Newman's sl dogs when man behind me said: I'll l give you $100 for that dog"
 "You must be looking for something cheap" I replied.
 Just then the dog turned around and the man said: Well, saw only his back, but now that I've seen his face I'll make 1t s600.'
 j Nothing doing at any price, said, I Dogs are my delight, and am never lhappy on stroll unless have one with lme Circumstances make no change in their devotion. They lick the hands of the rich in homes of luxury or sleep on lhard floors In the tenements of the poor. I A dog listens to kind words from the master who loves him and is dejected by harsh words. l, have read of dog
 who was kicked by a drunken master
 breaking his ribs so that the poor ere Iature had to be shot. But he crawled 4 to the wretch who kicked him and
 licked his boots.
 H II keep scrapbook about dogs, sto- ries of their devotion, and that sort of
 thing, clipped from the newspapers. A
 man who wrote letter printed in the q New York Times in April, 1899, tells of < f q dog that was born and brought uI I at Long Branch. He gave him to 3
 friend who lived in Plainfield. One X might, week afterward, he was awalS- ened by a mournful whining and { scratching on his porch. There was
 his dog, almost dead from fatigue, with a gunshot wound in his side. How did he find his way all that distance?
 T have no sympathy with societies l that enforce cruel laws about dogs. Ii
 the friends of dogs, who know and love
 them, would be a little more active we N should have no rauzzled dogs. 1 "Policenen in New York shoot sup. posedly mad dogs when they are moi
 mad at all. I have seen one instance I of it, and I am positive that dog was not mad He was yelping and whining
 as though in great pain, but mad dos
 does not do that. The only sound he
 emits is a hoarse howl. Mad dogs jog @ slowly along in a lonely place They
 do not rush wildly along the public highways. Because dog froths al
 the mouth he is not mad,
 E While in England am going t
 some of the famous kennels, and shal
 probably bring over one or two bloodet
 dogs with me-
