Belle, large, long-haired, good-natured

cOmplishments consist in climbing lad

wide, no matter how high it is. 1t is a
common sight to see her following II. CT.

rounds over the building. She can walk
these narrow beams high up in midair, and

an easy, fearless manner, and no matter
what obstacles she meets in her travels

fG1{sE1i things that arrest his attention
49, are nine water spaniel puppies
only few weeks old. The visitor cannot
help but see them. for they are all vigor-
Gus, healthy creatures, and are forever
playing and scampering around in the sun.
The people who come to visit the building
take as much interest in these small dogs
as they do in the building itself. for it is
really a hard matter to walk. since they
are continually under ones feet; and it is
impossible to keep from noticing them.
They are not old enough to know what fear
is. and have been petted, too. 20 such an ex-
tent that they think to pet each one in his
turn to be the natural course of things.

not be bad idea to keep one of them to
raise him at the building and let him spend
his entire existence there. In years to
come it would be a decided oddity to point
him out as the dog that was born and
raised in the building while it was under
construction.
The mother Of these puppies is known as
Number Seven" just plain Seven"
as she is more commonly called. The way
she came by this name is rather unique
great many colored men are employed at
the building, and when this dog came they
demanded that she be called Seven"
which is lucky number in a craps game.
Ihey insisted that if she were named after
the lucky number they would always have
the best of fortune in the construction of
the building. Strange to say, remarkably

part of it is. each one of these various dogs
owned has its own particular duties TO per-
form. The bull terrier, which is the prop
erty of II. G.. Bodwell. is called Spike Hen
neSSey. This dog is near relative OF
Tom, the bull terrier at IRE headquarters.
There Is a very close resemblance between
the two dogs, and Spike shows much OF the
intelligence Of his famous knswoman.
Spikes duty is to go with the night watch
man on his regular rounds of the building.
This dog seems TO know when ii is time for
the Waterman TO start, and II he Is not
ready the dog will not rest contented until
the Waterman is off 1t is doubtful if any
thing could go wrong here at night for
Spike is very alert and will notice things
that the man would pass over.
II. c. Redeker, the bookkeeper at the new
postoft1ce, owns the only registered dog OF
the lot. This fellow is a very fine black
French poodle called Fudge, No. 1926. The
number. however. is not part of the dog s
name, but is simply the register number.
Fudge has been at the building but few
weeks, having come here from Chicago,
where he took the second prize at the bench
show in that city. Judges original home
was in Cincinnati and it was there Mr..
RSdeker got him. Fudge has won several
first prizes, and the second that he got at
Chicago marks the first time that he has
ever fallen below first. This dog as yet
has not been here. long enough to show
just what he can do, but it is prophesied
that there will be no limit to his tricks
when he fairly gets started.
The only dog ever owned at the govern
ment building that fell from grace is Peggy
O'Neal, the messenger boys friend Peggy
tramp dog that strayed in and was
made welcome but left about a week ago
She showed a remarkable amount of sense,
but had great love for any lad who wore
a messenger boys uniform and would fol-
low him anywhere She stayed about the
building with the other dogs for quite a
while, but the life there was too hum-drum
for her, and one day she saw of her
favorite messenger boys leave, and that
was the last seen of Peggy O'Neal around
the federal building.

have counted heavily The church's con-
troll Of the irrigation works gave it abso-
lutte power over the farmer. If he failed
to pay his tthes to the uttermost. the
water would be shut off from his fields,
which meant starvation.
After all, suppose one had the time and
the inclination TO massage the face daily,
working out wrinkles and hollows; sup
pose one should abstain from laughter and
tears, and keep the face in a state of re-
pose, to avoid crow s-feet; suppose one
should take the pains to hold the mouth
in a pretty position, would ii pay? There
was a woman of thirty-five so at the re-
cent teachers convention, a pretty bru-
nette. who had faithfully and conscien-
tiously done all these things. She had very
nearly prevented wrinkles, but she had
transformed her face into a wooden mask.
She did. not dare 10 converse with spirit
and animation-it would spoil all her elab-
crate work. Her pretty little mouth had a
slightly unnatural set TO its lines, that in
evltably reminded one of Mrs. General, -
and ,,.'prunes, prisms and prunella. And
she did not look young, either. If she had
frankly let herself look thirty-five; if she
had flashed and sparkled nature in
tended her to do, she would have been a
beautiful and charming woman. AS it was,
she was positively repelent.
The hose-cart went tearing up the street:
after it raced the boys their bicycles.
One of them was bareheaded. Doubtless it
would have been impossible for him to
step out of the backdoor for a handful of
kindling without his cap, but this was
another matter. Behind the boys on wheels
ran a procession of boys on foot Those
who had just come out from their homes
were running fast: those who had already
followed the hose-cart for half a mile or So
were painting along in the rear. Just as
the last of these had passed, back came
the first boy on his wheel. "Ho." he
cried, scornfully, .'youse kids have all got
fooled You came away up here for moth
in There hain't no fire.
Apparently, this superb assumption of
superiority on the part of the one who had
been fooled first and worst, posed at it's
face value. The crestfallen plodders turned
wearily homeward without word.

there is no danger that a man of Frederick
Law Olmsteds intelligence will destroy the
beautiful native trees, and as long as those
are left, they may put in such fancy
touches as they please. 1t is enough to
make the angels weep TO see how, i'm some
parts of Indianapolis, the exquisite beeches,
glorious elms and romantic sycamores have
been ruthlessly destroyed, and now they
are planting straight rows of commonplace
poplars along the street, to take the place
of the magnificence laboriously cut away.
Nor was this all done in the days of ignor-
ance-there are boys still in short trousers
who can remember when the trees were
cut and the stumps blasted out with dyna-
mite, on streets and yards now bare Of
loneliness.
II is only justice to add that in other
parts of the city, the fine old trees have
been preserved with the greatest care-even
arrogant cement sidewalks being made to
give them the right of way. One handsome
residence made last summer from an old
house reconstructed, has a deep niche cut
in it's wide cornice as not to interfere
with a branch of a great elm leaning low
ingly toward the house. Not only was the
tree preserved intact by this device. but
