Dying Woman Wanted Pet Dog t
Share Grave With Her

Portsmouth, N. H., Nov. 14.-The
dying request of Mrs. Frances E.
Langdon, wife of F. Langdon, was
that Teddy, her pet spaniel dog, be
mercifully put to death and buried
with her.
The life of the canine was ended
with chloroform, but the cemetery
trustees refused to allow the inter-
ment of the dog beside his mistress.
He had been constant companion
of the woman for fourteen years and
in her last days he refused to leave
the sick chamber. After her death
he remained beside the casket, where
he kept up a continual whining and
no efforts on the part of the family
could make him take food.

PRAYER IS WITHOUT RESULT
Frequent Petitions to Throne
of Grace.

A young man who is prominent in
church work in Philadelphia tells this
about his nephew:
Harold is the youngsters name, and
next door lives another boy by the
name OF Dewey. They are each seven
years old, and like most children of
their age, are disposed TO got into mis-.
chief as often as possible. Several
lays ago they found a mans coat lying
IN the front pavement while the own
er was fixing a gas main. From the
pockets OF the Goa the W. boys alb
stlacted several tickets, and when
HaTo.d's mother found it out she made
him return the tickets and explained
the sin which he had committed,
warning him 10 pray that ne be for
given that night. He obeyed. and
whi G on his knees added a prayer for
Dewey as wei.
The next night Harold's mother was
in the next room when he said his
prayers, and she heard him ask God to
forgive Dewey for stealing a piece OF
cake. On the following evening he
again Was moved 10 ask forgiveness
for his friend, this time for stealing
three pieces OF candy. Apparently his
patience was exhausted, for the next
evening his mother was in the adjoin'
ing room when he offered his evening
prayer, and this is what she heard:
Gosh darn it, God, | have done the
best ! could for Dewey. | guess
