When Dogs Went to Church

WHETHER in repentance for sins OF th.
week or for want of smaller kennels. we
are not told. but dogs of the good old days
had remarkable fondness for church services
The clergy and wardens had an equally extraor
binary objection to four-legged devotees. There
are many church records showing the ex-
penditure on wisp and tongs for intruding
dogs and wages paid to the wielders of these
weapons
A certain Widow Sandys" received five
shillings as the years sallery for whipping
In the county of Kent is piece of land
still known as Dog Whippers Marsh. from
which a payment Of ten shillings year was
to be devoted to keeping order in the church.
and dogs out of it. during service
The purchase of dog tongs must have evoked
merriment rather than the solemnity they
were employed to secure. The cathedral at
Bangor. in Wales. has glass case full of
specimens They are familiar as the lazy
tongs" for the lump sugar, or larger ones to
pick pieces of coal. They zigzag scissors
with an extension movement. These dog
tongs are big affairs made of oak. which
stretch out three feet and have teeth let into
the end jaws to get firm grip on the poor
beast.

When Every Dog Had His Day

TN several widely separated districts curious
observance was kept up on Whip Dog day
which was in October. School boys and
others had the high privilege of being cruel
to all dogs they found in the streets without
interference by their elders or dog owners
Some learned authorities say this was in
honor of Saint Luke but why. is not explained
A more, likely tradition is that priest engaged
in celebration of the mass accidentally let the

lay under the altar. The dog was killed and
this would be a good enough excuse for lovers
of cruelty to animals to establish yearly
persecution of dogs on the anniversary

The Stag Offering in Church

which was originally priory. Its patron

One year the Baron took it into his head to

to the feast together with his house party

too hard bargain: for the baronial train in

1t is pleasant to recall the innocent frolcs
with lambs on Lannmas Day, the first of Aug

the ancient custom by which tenants holding
land under York Minister had to bring live
lamb into church with their rent on that day,
or an offering of bread is not certain. In an
other county. another festive day, fat
live lamb was chased in fox hunting fashion
by the maids OF the town. Their thumbs were
tied together behind their backs. and the one

Lamb. Then the painting victim was killed
and dressed. and with the skin still hanging
on was marched on a pole at the head of a
PROCESSION with music to the green where the
revefs were held. Next day the Lady carved
her lamb, baked. boiled, and roasted it, at
the banquet which ended the holidays.

COULD USE THE ROAD.
Irish Soldiers Great Idea When Cover
Mas Badly Needed.

The following colloquy is said to
have actually occurred during one of
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment of American infantry,
under orders to support a section of
Capt. Reilly's battery, were halted for
quite while on perfectly fiat mill
tary road in full view and fine range
of the Filipino trenches. or course, to
lie fat on the road was the only avail
able use of cover"
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the British army before he en-
listed with Uncle Sam. AS a recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. AS a
result he was necessarily piled with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were 'plopping" down the
road and kicking up the gravel, a
young Yankee suddenly asked:
Say, Mike, what do the British SOL
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?"
Quick as a fash came the retort:
"a British soldier has no head,

After full two minute pause, Mike
continued:

Bryan Is Willing.

William ]. Bryan will accept the
Democratic nomination for president
in 1908, but he will neither ask noI
make fight for it.
He says that for a year or more he
has been pressed to answer the ques
ton: 'Will you accept the nomina
tion?' and he believes the public en-
titled to an answer and to know the
position he occupies. The question
that ought to weigh most, he says, is
whether his nomination will strength
en- the Democratic party more than
the nomination of some one else.
Not only will he not seek or ask
for the nomination. but he will not
assume to decide the question OF
availability, and If the prize falls tc
another he will neither be disappoint
ed nor disgruntled. At the same time
he denies that he has waited this Ions
in a desire to see whom the Repub
licans are likely to nominate, or to
ascertain the chances of victory.
