 WHEREAS, during his long service as it's Manager from October 29, 1872, to January l2, 1892, and from that date to January 4, 1903, as its President, he manifested marked abil- ity and fidelity in the performance of all his duties:
 IT IS RESOLVED, FIRST.

 SECOND, That this Company holds in highest appreciation his service rem dered during so many years, especially the patience, skill, and good judge ment shown by him in the guidance of it's affairs in the years during which it was in peril of it's life. His labors were self-forgetting and untiring. He brought to his work, keen discern ment, great industry, and the elements of a well-balanced character. By his death not only are his associates i1 this Company bereft of dear friend and recent co-laborer, but the publish ing fraternity has lost one of itt strongest and worthiest members. THIRD, That these resolutions be l entered on the records of the Compa- ny, and that a copy of them be sent to each of MT Barker's three sons. | MT Hale moved that these resOlu tions be adopted.

Dogs That Draw Carts.

A traveller Who has oycled hundreds
Of miles in Holland has a good word
for everything Dutch except the use OF
dogs In carts. He quotes some rather
affecting instances OF very old or sick
dogs used in q certain district and con-
cludes that the employment OF dogs as
draft animals Is a survival OF barbar-
ism. The cart dog is high-spirited
eager creature. which. as a rule. takes
great deal of interest in its work.
and needs neither beating nor scold-
ing.
AT The Hague the dogs which bring
the vegetables into market lie under
their carts while the cargo is being
sold. In the afternoon when the time
for going home approaches. they bark
excitedly, and. with their owners sit
ting in the carts. often race other dogs
home. The carts are frequently very
smart and SO is the harness. Nearly
all the milk and similar commodities
in Liege are distributed silently,
quickly and early in the morning By
dog carts.
