Saint Maru's Beacon


The beautiful. stately ST. Bernard
dog gets his name from the ST. Ber-
nard hospice Or monastery, built OIL
most at the crest Of q mountain pass
in the Alpssover eight thousand feet
about sea-level. This hospice was
foundedin 1852 by Bernard de Men
thins anobleman the eighborhood,
for the benefit Of pilgrims journeying
tcRome. In now affords sleeping ac-
commodation for eighty travellers,
and can shelter three hundred. The
monasteryis connected by telephone
with stations Ia the valley on either
side, from which the monks aboev
are warned when travellers are on
their way to the mountain. There
are dozen or so Of these Augustin-
ian slonks. all young and strong;
their work is. with the aid of large
dogs, to rescue travellers in danger
OF being lost In the cold and snow.
These dogs were called the St. Ber-
nard and they gradually became gem
eral in Switzerland. and in 1860
caught the attention OF English trav-
elers. who imported several into
Great Britain, where they were ex-
hibited and greatly admired for their
size and beauty. Others were intro
duced. and the ST. Bernard soon be-
came the popular big dog. a popular
ity which has ever since gone on In
creased. AS most fancied today, he
is an immense, orange-colored dog,
marked with white on face, neck,
breast, feet and tip OF tail. The
head is massive and imposing, the
muzzle strong and square; and legs
are straight, with largefeetand deep
claws. The coat OF the rough variety
is Of medium length, and not too
curly; while the smooth variety has
q short and wiry coat. Many Of the
finest st. Bernard Dogs measure
thirty inches in heightat the shout
der and weigh over 100 pounds.
They occupy great deal Of space
yet they are so handsome. and. as q
rule, SO good-tempered, that they are
greatly admired as pets.
II you are fortunateenough toown
one Of these beautiful dogs, you will
admire his dignity and kindliness the
more. now that you know the story
Of his family. You can imagine
those other dogs, going on ahead oI
the wearied travellers, showing the
way through the deep snow drifts,
and bringing them safely, at last, e
food and shelter.

Emulsion d short time

use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and

Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying inn
proper and weak develop

more of q secret than the
composition Of the Emul-

it does through nourish-

A check is given to the two-cent-a-
mile movement by the decision of the
Corporation Court at Staunton. Va.
that the two-cent-a-mile bill passed by
the Virginia Legislature last Winter Is
unconstitutional. The decision of the
Court was based upon the exception
that the two-cent rate was not gen.
eral rate. did not apply to the general
public, and, therefore, was contrary to
the 14th amendment. 1t Disseminated
in favor Of parties able to buy tickets
at wholesale rates and against ordinary
passengers who buy one ticket at a
time. This defect will probably be cured
at the next session Of the Legislature
by a more comprehensive bill. which
will make a two-cent-a-mfle rate OBJ

MONUMENT TO MRS. TANNER.

that has weiled up in the minds OF

Editor National Tribune: The very
sad news Of the untimely death Of Mrs
Miro Tanner fills the hearts OF the SOL
der comrades Cor. at least. such Of the
comrades as have true appreciation Of
companion. as was Mrs. Miro Tanner}
with painful sadness. and to US, the
surviving members of soldiers Of the
rebellion. 1T is serious loss, as she was
ever on the lookout for the largest
benefits Of the boys Of the war OF 16e1-
IS. and generally successful In her un-
dertakings for our good. Having often
called Us boys $50 I am informed), do
hereby respectfully nominate her as
Mother Tanner, and 1 suggest that e
subscription be opened I'm your good
paper for a monument to Mother Tan
ner. / cheerfully subscribe IS for the
present as showing good faith OF my
sympathy in this matter. While many
OF the comrades, perhaps. are not able
TO give much toward a monument. yet
L truly believe every one will give some
thing, il it be but a nickel. while a
goodiy number will no doubt contrfb-
ute fairly large amounts. / would like
to see every comrade contribute, so as
to make it united Offering of all the
boys. Please extend my sincere SYM
pathy to Commander-in-Chief Tanner
In this hour of his bereavement. Very
truly-Jeseph Guest, Co. d, 18th Md.

The National Tribune is heartily I'm
sympathy with this suggestion. and will
give 1t all assistance. Mrs. Tanner was
one Of the noblest of women. and de-
voted her life to the service Of the vet
Grams. To erect a monument to her
memory would be a most fitting and
graceful thing for them to do, and be
but a modest return for all that she
did for them.
