DOG eRlEVES FOR MASTER
Big Setter Diseonsolate Since Death oi
Matthew Baxter.

The big setter dog OF Matthew Baxter
has been disconsolate since the death OF
his master yesterday and the grief Of the
faithful animal is almost human In It's
Intensity.
All day long the big. shaggy fellow has
been patroling his post in front OF the es-
tabllshment at Fourth and Shipley streets.
He whines and howls and IN his despair
hurls himself against the crepe-laden door
until he Is almost exhausted. He then
crouches down beside the s;reamers OF
black until almost benumbed by the cold.
Then his tireless walk back and forth is
resumed. With the precision Of a sentry
he stalks up and down the pavement. He
notices no one. His plaintive cries have
attracted many persons, some OF whom
have tried TO drive him away, but despite
the cold the dog keeps up his vigil waiting
for the master who never will come again.

II was the rule in Ireland at one

When the hour was expired the
deceased was put into a cart. which
was driven at a gallop along the stony
road. The jolting generally brought
the prisoner to. One such recovery
was so complete that the resuseitated
man sat up in the coffin and gave three
cheers.
One Of his friends was so shocked al
this indecent conduct that he hit the

and finished him. The question ther
arose whether the assailant could bs
