butter and of flour together and add
half pint of oyster liquor to this

DELICIOUS USES FOR HONEY.

People who have cultivated a taste for

Honey is far more wholesome in

A CANINE CEMETERY
WHERE PET DOGS AND CATS ARE
BURIED IN STATE.
Poetry and Sculpture Adorn Their
Tonbstones-Some Epitaphs Read
Like Those of Humans-Many
BuriaIs Costly.

New YOrk.-In a picturesque little
spot situated on one of the most beau
tiful of the Hartsdale hills lies one of
the oldest of cemeteries. The casual
visitor here, inspecting the inscrip-
tions on the tOmbstOnes, would expect
to see records of long forgotten gen
erations. perhaps the history of the viii
lage in the lives of its citizens. but
instead the stones contained nothing
but inscriptions to dogs. with an oc-
casional cat epitaph here and there.
FidO. asleep" Our beloved fox ter
rieT, Flossie," Dedicated to the men,
Ory of our pet cat. Smutty" Such a
tumble of inscriptions meet the eyes
that the visitor begins to wonder
whether the souls of Fido and Smutty
now rest peacefully side by side or
whether they arise at the witching
hour to fight out once more their life
long battle In that case even the back
fences of Harlem would be preferable
to the rural peace of Hartsdale
This cemetery moreover, contains
French dogs and French inscriptions
and German dogs And just as human
tOmbstones have little angels on them
so these dog tombstones have little
puppies carved on them playing with
toys. Next to one of the graves the
owner has erected big rustic mourn
er's bench so that he may grieve for
his pet in comfort
The most elaborate grave is that of
a bulldog that once belonged to a fam
lily named Wilson. Besides having a
big granite stone at the head, it has
two little bay trees on either side, and
at the foot is a little marble trough
with three little marble canaries drink
ing out of it, The canaries would be
more easily explained if it were a cat
grave, but perhaps this particular bull
pup had feline predictions.

cannot break into the Republican
party with a crowbar And this be-
cause of the attitude of Representative
Pete" Hepburn chairman OF he Re
publican caucus who repudiates POr-
ter and leclaTes that he is not a Re,
publican. Mr.. Porter declares that he
is not Democrat, and so the man
who polled 25.S37 votes in a nominaIly
Republican district finds himself in
Washington a political Outcast
When the Congressional Directory
came from the printers hands last
January it contained an unofficial list
Of the present congress. The names
of the Republicans were printed in
roman types and the names of the
Democrats in italics. To Mr.. Porter's
amazement and disgust he found that
his name wss printed in italics When
he arrived in Washington he started

the clerk of the house and was in
formed that while he would be permit
ted to submit whatever biography he
desired. he could not appear as a Re
publican without the consent of the
chairman of the Republican caucus,
Then it was that Peter Porter ap-
preached Pete Hepburn.
The Iowa colonel was wrathy. He
lit into Porter and allowed that Wads-
worth was the straight Republican
candidate and that the gentleman sue
ceeding him was no more Republican
than a rabbit. To this Mr. Porter re-
piled by showing how many Republi-
can votes he received. recited his long
allegiance to the party and told of the
fondness the president had for him.
There was much more argument, but
it fell on deaf ears. Colonel "Pete's"
word goes and Mr. Porter is the one
member who has no brand. but must
go all through the session as a may
erick.'
When John Sharp Williams heard
Of the trouble he came Hospitality for
ward and invited Peter Porter to join
the Democracy. an invitation which
was rejected. and now the member
from the Thirty-fourth New York Is
floating in a political airship He will
have difficulties concerning committee
assignments. for he cannot expect to
draw any Republican vacancies. and.
having declined 20 enter the Demo
cratic caucus. he has no claim upon

1t is certainly pTediCament for
Peter A. Porter. II is interesting to
the observer. too, for il may be that a
lifelong Republican viii be compelled
