UNIQUE WAR RECORD OF DOG.

Was Given Medal. 81

Unusual interest conferred in a case
heard in the Dublin police courtp in
which the leading figure vas a bull
dog that formerly belonged to Gen.
Philip Botha and went through a good
portion of tho South African war, says
the London Telegraph. Ernest Warm
lngton, canteen manager for the con-
tractors, was summoned for cruelty to
the animal, which has been stationed
for some time past with the Royal
irish Rifles at Richmond barracks.
The bulldog, which now belongs to
Color Sergeant Edwards, Royal Irish
Rifles, was accommodated with a seat
in the witness box, from which point
he seemed to take a languid interest in
the proceedings. He was dressed in q
coat with green facings, and wore sew
eral South African medals with clasps.
The animals record is an eventful one.
During the Boer war he was captured
by the Second Royal Irish Rifles,
mounted infantry, from Commandant
Philip Botha's farm in the Doornberg,
in September, 1900.
FFrom that time until the end Of
the war he trekked with the Rifles
mounted force from Griqualand in the
west to Basutoland in the east, and he
still bears the c a of a wound received
In action. Later he was with Gen.
French's column in Cape Colony. For
his services the bulldog now wears the
queens South African medal with two
clasps. Mr.. Drury remarked, when the
case was called, that this was the most
distinguished dog in the country, as
he had medals.

orD-FAsHIoNED CANDY.
Kind That May BE Given to the
Children without Fear of
Injury.

The old-style stick candy has red
stripes running around it n spiral
form. The body of the stick is white.
It is slightly favored with peppermint.
1t is very sweet and wholesome. Good
enough for a king. So cheap that the
poorest may have it. Six sticks for
five cents. Enough to last a family
of six two days. Break a stick In
two in the middle, eat half of it after
dinner, or after supper, if preferred.
That is enough candy for n day.
1t is good for children. Keep it IN
the house. Away up in the pantry,
where the children can't help them
selves. After dinner is over take II
down, break a stick in two, pass IL
around. The children will like it i'm
mensely. They will like it all the bet
ter for not being able to get too much
of it. Never let them have all they
want of it. A half stick is enough,
although a whole stick might be az
lowed occasionally. Old-fashinoned
stick candy. Six sticks for five cents.
The best candy in the world. All the
fancy stuff put up in boxes, that COST
a dollar or more, cannot equal the old
fashioned stick candy. Six sticks OF
it contain more solid comfort and
more nutritious than a wagonload OF
caramels and painted bonbons.
Keep it in the house. 1t is a good
thing. Don't wait for the children to
get so hungry for it that they will
steal or beg to get it. Supply them
with it. Feed their natural appetite
for it. If you don't let them have
it, they will get it themselves. Deny
ing them of it will only create Tor
them a morbid appetite which can
only be palliated with something
worse. So
But be sure that you get the old
fashioned stick candy with spiral red
stripes running round it. The best
candy in the world. 1t is the candy
Of our forefathers. Our grandmoth-
efs used to eat it. Every %parentcan re-
call the delicious taste Of it. Accept no
other. Be sure that you get the
proper trademark = red stripes run
ming spirally round the stick. Beware
Of substitutes.
Old-fashioned stick candy. To be
found in every country grocery store,
and in all places where candy is kept,
except, perhaps, a candy store. They
have got above their business. They
turn up their noses at the old-fash-
toned stick candy, and many children
have learned TO regard it as just a
common, old, cheap candy. But it is
the best candy in the world, the only
candy that is really good.

TROUBLED KOREANS
Russia Complains of Rioting
Soldiery In Seoul.
OUR MINISTER FEARS AN OUTBREAK
Emperor OF KOrea VIII Have No In
terfercnce From Cars Troops.
Russian Division Bound North
Notwithstanding Outlook.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-A dispatch
from Seoul says Russia complains that
Korean soldiers are causing trouble.
Korea answers that Russia must not
interfere.
The tension in Seoul is increasing, and
the native press, which probably is in
spired, is more bitter against foreigners
thnn formerly. The emperor's trusted
advisers have n daily council. The Rus
sian and English legations have in
creased their guards by sixteen. The
japanese are buying and storing much
rice in northern Korea. The ginseng
trade is dead.
The Korean General Yihak Kun,
whose sympathies are pro-Russian, has
made a yelled threat against foreigners,
Additional advices received over
night at the state department from the
east came from Minister Allen, at
Seoul. He reports that Korea is in a
panicky condition, and there is ap-
prehension of a riotous outbreak at
any moment.
The intimation is conveyed that in
terested foreign emissaries are at the
bottom of these disturbances, the re-
suit of which may be to afford an ex-
Gust for intervention and the placing
of large forces in Korea, thus precipi-
tating n hostile collision between Rus
STA and Japan.
1t is understood that the matter of
reinforcing the United States lega-
ton guard at Seoul will be left to the
mutual arrangement of Mr.. Allen and
Rear Admiral Evans.
Reports from Port Arthur say that
1000 Russian troops left there today,
bound northward. Otherwise city life
is normal, and there has been no exc
dus of families.
Applications by correspondents desir-
ing to accompany the forces were met
with a reply that hostilities are not
expected, and therefore it would be
premature to issue permits.
The authorities here state definitely
that Russia has no intention or desire
to interfere in Korea, even should ia
pan continue to land small bodies of
troops there in co%ntravontion of the
existing treaties, as the Russians as
sert the Japanese are doing, under the
pretext that they are only railway
guards.
