VIII Schartz lest week received
from Philadelphia, Pa, a fine St.
Bernard dog. 1t is a right husky
yOungster, only four months old and
now weighs over 100 pounds. BY
the time it gets its full growth il
it keeps on at that rate it sure
ought to be of a size to take care of
itself without any serious trouble and
it probably will. VIII purchased a
pair of them but the other has not
arrived yet. They are pure bred and
considerably high priced, but a good
Gog is a mighty valuable animal on
the farm and VIII figures that they
will be well worth the money. The
express on the one he has received
was $3.50. At that rate it looks
like the express companies could is
sue a few more million dollars worth
of .watered stock and still declare
nice dividend.
