liamson. has a French bulldog club of ladies. Its secretary is Mrs Cousens. There Is also woman's French bulldog club of America.
 Almost every fashionable breed of can inc is now under the fostering care of clubs and associations of women dog fan ciers. The leading one of these organiza- tions is the Ladies' Kennel Association of America, which holds its annual bench show in Madison Square Garden. New York. Another prominent dog club is the Ladies' Kennel Association of Massachu- setts. to which distinguished society wo- men of Boston belong.
 The annual show of the Ladies' Kennel Association in Madison Square Garden Is great occasion. 1t Is the event that opens the city social season and cele- brates the return of fashionable people to New York from the seaside and the coun- try. It Is held the first week in Novem- Der. The exhibition this year is the third annual one the ladies have presented to the public Each year the exhibit im- proves. It Is now said to be equal to what the Westminster Kennel club, the most influential association of men dog fanciers in America, was able to do in it's earlier years.
 At any rate 1t Is show of a thousand, that women's dog exhibition. Picture to yourself the inclosure in which wild west and circus people have exploited them selves, in which cavalry evolutions, polit- ical conventions and walking and bicycle matches have had place. Think of the great arena full of dogs, woolly and hair less. Great Danes almost as tall as COW and little rats of things weighing less than a pound, of all colors and tempers, and arly all bowling, barking, whining at once, and you will have an idea of what that dog show in Madison Square Garden is like.
 Nearly 2.0O0 dogs are exhibited this sea- son. and there are more than fifty classes of them. In one respect the associated women dog fanciers of America have 1t better than their sisters in England The Ladies' Kennel association here has had from the start the help of men dog lovers who cheerfuly offered the ladies the ben eft of their experience and encourage ment. Many of the women of the ken nel associations are relatives of the gen. tlemen in the Westminster and other dog clubs of men.

 With our coffee we wanted sugar and usually had 1t. If not, the coffee. while not so delightful, was drunk in the same quantity. Milk we never had on the plains. l think 1t safe to say that a quart Of coffee in the morning and another at night also as much in the mid dle of the day if we had time to make iD, was our average through a series of years. We bought the best green Rio cof- fee and roasted 1t ourselves in a Dutch oven as we required it-perhaps a weeks supply al one time-and often pounded 1t in tin cup instead ofs grinding it.
 So long as we had an abundance of coffee there seemed to be no limit to our physical endurance. When that was gone we very soon started for the ranch, where I kept large supply. I will say here that neither myself nor any of the young men I had in my employ at vari- ous times used or cared anything for liquor, though we could buy an excellent article of whiskey for s per barrel. We never took 1t with us on our hunting ex- petitions simply because we cared noth- ing for 1t; but we would as soon have left our rifles at camp as to start out without coffee

I boiled over the grounds in the coffee pot several times. and one even ing, coming in exhausted, | ate the entire remainder and felt relieved. In a few days we started for home.

We camped there and I went to the house and bought a bucket of milk and five dozen eggs while my young men were getting supper. There were five of us.
 At that meal we ate the usual supply or meat, and with our coffee drank the the entire bucket of milk; also ate the five dozen eggs entire. Two of the men had quarrel, one claiming the other got more than his share of the eggs.
