COCKER SPANIEL SAVES
MASTER FROM DROWNING
Little Dog Attracts Attention by
Barking when Boy Goes
Through Broken Ice

BOSTON, Jon. S.-When most little
dogs die no tears are shed and moth
ing marks his final resting place. But
when a certain cocker spaniel, who
acknowledges Edward Webster, aged
8, of Lynn, as his master, passes on
to the place reserved for good little
dogs, there will be a stone, flowers and
green grass over the spot where he lies.
And likely as not his master will look
down upon the spot and wonder just
what the hereafter holds for little he
roes who can't talk.
Greatness came upon Prince sudden
ly. He and Edward, who is the son of
Seth Webster of SAB Chatham street,
Lynn, were playing on the ice at Flax
pond Just as the fun was at its high
est there was a cracking and little Ed
ward was fioundering in the water,
with no person near to pull him out.
The situation was desperate, and
Prince saw that something was wrong
with. his master and that the time had
come to make good"
With a sharp bark he dove into the
water. Determinedly he fastened his
teeth into his masters coat and tuaged.
But he only forced himself under
water. Now and then Prince loosed his
hold long enough to bark for help. But
he couldn't keep his master up to save
his doggish soul. And when his bur-
den began to sink he was helpless. But
he hung on, his paws still fastened in
his masters clothing, making final
stand against death.
Arthur Webster, aged 10, Edward S
brother, heard those sharp, staccato
cries for help. He knew Prince never
barked like that unless something was
the matter. So he ran to the pond and
arrived just in time to save his little
brother.

Dress Changes and Trifing FoihIes
Shown to Be the Source of
Enormous Economic
Damage

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. s.-Miss
Sophronisba Preston Breckenridge, the
talented daughter Of the late Col. w.
C. p. Breckenridge of this city, who
occupies the chair of economics and
social science at Chicago university,
recently delivered before her class
lecture on "The Waste of Present
Day Selling, and Efforts at Standard
ization."
The address of Miss Breckinridge,
who is now widely known in educa-
tional circles as DR.. S. P. Breckenridge,
was a brilliant and entertaining dis
cussion of the enormous waste in the
nations industrial and domestic lille,
caused by the numerous changes in
volved in the freaks of fashion. In
the course of this lecture DR.. Breck-
inridge says:
objectionable Dress Waste
"Dress has been peculiarly the sub
ject of this change, and, while Spen-
Ger pointed out thai some loved dis
tinction and so led the fashion and
others loved to initiate and so fol-
lowed the fashion. it has remained for
Mr.. Veblen to suggest that the secret
of this lawless change is found in the
very love of waste before referred to,
which made of 1t the evidence of
spending power. The logic of the thing
is rather simple.
'If one wants to show that one is
capable of spending one must spend.
But one can spend conspicuously only
if one buys something different from
what one had before. But not all the
world remembers what one had before;
one then must buy something different
from what any one had before. OF
course, if one can. she buys something
which few if any can have today; but
evidently if one is very close to the
front one succeeds almost as we'll in
showing spending power as those who
actually lead.

dozen hobos who "sojourned" in AL
bany during a south bound trip on
Saturday, had in their party two
heavy weight-ex-boiler makers, who
got into an argument over the ques-
ton whether the wet or dry town is
the best in which to save money. The
question was settled by well govern
ed, no round limit, refereed, bare
knuckle contest, which lasted 35
rounds. before Officer John Catlin
interfered. Both fellows were clever
fighters and at the end of the battle
each was badly bruised. Though no
knockout intervened, it is declared
that the dry man appeared to be
in the best condition at the end. How
ever, both men were glad to shake
hands and call 1t draw.
