When Col. Astor planned the st.
Regis It never occurred to him that any
one could object to such a high-class
place But the question of liquor
license soon began to trouble him. The
law requires that the consent of two
thirds of the property owners within 2oo
feet shall be obtained. Also, church
within that distance is held to block
action. Mr.. Astor could not get the
two-thirds consent of property owners,
and it was claimed that the Fifth Ave-
nue. Presbyterian church was within
200 feet of his front door as planned.
So Mr.. Astor walled it up and used
side door while fighting the matter In
the courts. Meanwhile he found that
Mr.. Rockefeller was his chief opponent.
Mr.. Rockefeller himself lives On the next
corner, less than 200 feet from the front
entrance of the st. Regis, but more than
200 feet from the side entrance. In
bee line the bar is perhaps 120 feet from
Mr.. Rockefeller's parlors. Besides the
Fifth avenue house, Mr.. Rockefeller has

Useful Dog.

/. A blacksmith in the west had forge
for the purpose of making nails for the
coarsest sort of shoes. The boy who
tended this forge made 1000 nails
day. with some ones assistance. And
who do you suppose was his helper?
A dog! This clever animal had been
trained to blow the bellows by means
of a wheel attached to a crank. While
the iron was in the fire the dog would
blow the bellows; when it was taken
out he stopped to rest, commencing
again of his own accord when it was
put in again.
