London.-Stationers' hall, where Mr..
Roosevelt was the guest of the Insti-
tute of Journalism on his recent visit
to London. was erected in 1871. and in
the hall itself are hung the shields on
which are painted the arms of the
members Of the court of assistants.
1t was customary in bygone times
for the freemen of the company on
state occasions to carry the shields
from the hall to Blackfriars. which
journey was made by way of the
river. and then on embarkation the
shields we're hung over the barge's
side. The freemen were clad In long
gowns Of light-blue flannel, with vel
low facings. being the proper livery
color of the company according to its
heraldic bearings.

southeastern part of the island He was
subject to fits and at this inopportune
time had one.
He fell insensible in the snow and
Percy, devotedly by his side, tried with
all his little might to drag his heavy
body to shelter. Failing to move the
log-like form. he snatched the sentry's
cap in his teeth and few through the
storm for the distant barracks.
The sleepers there were reused and
rescue party reached the PROSTATE
marine in time to save his life.
On one more occasion Percy per-
formed an almost similar service for
another marine who succumbed to the
rigors of wintry night. and who, but
for the faithful canine messenger,
would now be under the sod which
covers Percy.
Percy pitched into two thugs who
one night attacked a marine on the
bridge leading from Kittery to the navy
yard. and the ferocity of his onslaught
not only made the yeggmen glad
enough to escape. but brought the
guard from the main gate. The victim
was badly used up and but for Percys
assistance would have Jared worse.
Percy always considered intoxicated
marines his especial wards, and the
poor fellows who sought in this way to
relieve the monotony of navy yard
routine never had a stancher cham
pion. Woe to the meddler who sought
amusement at the helpless tippler's ex
pense.
Though detachments of marines
were continually coming and going
| Percy never lacked for friends, for tc
see him was to love him. He had the
run of the entire yard. and places for
hidden to all dogdom opened their bars
to Percy. Even that holy Of holies, the
navy yard ferry to Portsmouth, was
favorite stamping ground OF his.
1t was this freedom from all re
straint which finally proved the good
old dogs undoing. One day he was
roaming about the corridors of the big
unfinished naval prison on the south
ern end of the island. when he got his
tail caught in an elevator.
The hurt. at first apparently trivial
became serious. and the best yeter
mary surgeon obtainable tried for q
month to relieve the faithful animals
sufferings The warm-hearted marines
nearly bankrupted themselves in the
effort to restore him to health. but his
age was against recovery and he was
at last mercifully dispatched.
Other mascots have since partially
engaged the affections of the marine
guard. but Percys death left a void
| never to be filled.

GERMANS CUT YANKEE GRAIN
Russia VIII Furnish Bulk Of Product
This Year-Hish Prices Are
Not Felt.

Berlin.-A great reduction in the
importation OF American grain into
Germany is predicted by members Of
the Berlin grain exchange. who de-
clare that this year the German con-
sumer is practically Independent OF
the United States as a source OF sup
ply. /
Noting the. fact that the recent
sharp advances in the American mar
ket failed to produce any material ef-
feet on the Berlin exchange. the
bourse expert Of the Tageblatt says
that the reason may be found In the
exceptional conditions which enable
Germany to rely almost entirely upon
other countries. While American
wheat has gone up In consequence Of
the general rise In all commodities,
the Russian crops are expected to be
large enough to cover the entire Ger
man demand at lower prices. Hence,
adds the writer. the Berlin exchanges
are responding more readily to price
conditions in Russia than to the fiuc-
tuations in the American markets.
