come his lot. His only other COM
panion in the garden is an aged man
of 10 years, who spends his days
writing treatises on the way to long
evity and tho preservation OF health
I visited Benjamin on Monday. the
day when Nora and her husband are
washed and, as Mr.. Lewis puts it, hung
out in the sun to dry. Benjamin lay
not far from his master and in such a
position that he could watch his every
action in lieu Of hearing, as in the old
days.
benjamin never is satisfied when
there is door closed between him and
me- said Mr.. Lewis. And at night
he would be quite unhappy IL did not
allow him to lie in my room a little
while before going to bed. For two
years now he has felt the weaknesses
OF old age and has come to relinQuish
of his own volition, although with great
grief. the duties he used to perform
at church.
"These duties OF which speak began
with his wishing to follow xne to the
church each morning as / went to
work. But perhaps 1t will be best
to tell you first how Benjamin and I
came together: then you will under
stand him better.
HE was owned by my next door
neighbor and succeeded In exciting my
admiration almost as soon as I knew
him. suppose 1t was my fondness for
him primarily that caused him TO be-
come greatly attached to me. If I

and on that trip he revealed himself
to me, his great affection. his love
OF the hunt, and. more particularly,
his love and devotion for me- Not long
after our return. his interest being now
entirely centered In me. his master. for
that and other reasons, presented him
to me and from that time on our play
days and our working g-days, as long as
he was able. have been spent together.
When he insisted upon following me
TO church felt some hesitation about
letting him do so, but the pastor and
few OF the congregation showing g
marked signs of approval. and he being 6
very dignif1ed and circumspect in his
behavior, I finally withdrew my op-
position.
ITO use him as an assistant did not
occur to me until he forced his SER
vices upon me. On our hunting expedi-
tion had Of course taught him re-
trieving and other useful things. and
with that nucleus of education Benja-
min proceeded to be helpful and to
demand more information on the ways
of aiding me- When I swept the side
walk he kept close watch. waiting with
nervous anxiety for me toSinish so that
he might relieve me of the broom and

''Oh. yes. indeed. I have them hold

Cocos numerous friends about town
had, upon a recent occasion. when it
was rumored that he had lost his col
lar, shown their sympathy and gen.
erosity by presenting him with a new
one.
Coco is the Acknowledged chief Of all
the dogs in the neighborhood. When
he returns home at night they stand
waiting for him. Why this should be
has not been discovered, for he de-
mands no homage. and, indeed, his in

his contempt. a Great Dane among

Benjamin has reached the age Of
fifteen and the days OF his activities
are over There is white hair on his
face now and the expression OF ons
who dreams. and II his dreams are of

BENJAMIN Is an Irish setter OF the
sort called se1f-educated. and even In
his old age has remarkable sickness
of coat. He can no longer hear, and
his only perfectly happy days now are
Mondays, when his master, Charles S.
Lewis. Is free from his church duties
and able to stay at home with him.
Other days of the week you may find

that the fence was no obstacle to him

Punishment Of Drunkards.

The late Henry NJ, Bales. OF Pennsyl-
vania. an Intelligent student OF penal
problems. Is reported to have said that
Massachusetts furnishes the best ex-
ample OF wise laws faithfully enforced
against drunkenness to be found in any
country in the world"
Yet the annual report OF the AIassa-
chusetts Prison Commissioners shows
that during the fiscal year Ta,972 arrests
for intoxication-an average of over two
hundred a day-were made in the Com
wealth. while D.eis persons were COM
Snittcd TO penal and reformntory insti-
}tutions for inebriety. That number repre-
sents "a per cent. OF the total population,
although the number OF arrests was
greater than the number of persons DR.
rested. as some OF the drunkards were
arrested more than once, But that Is one
of the phases OF the exhibit, for the fact
that OF the total body OF persons COM
emitted for drunkenness last year l2,a1t
had undergone previous imprisonment for
the same cause and that 4.ss2 OF tho
number had served from five to fifty
former sentences Indicates that the Law
as a reformatory measure Is far from
being q success, Indeed, the Boston
