Shelter should be provided for all

comfortable during winter weather.
Leaving out Of consideration the well

cal to feed animals when exposed to

not compensate for inadequate shelter.

for the purpose by Henry Smith. or
Dog Smith. as he was more generally
called. hnving earned the sobriquet
from the fact that be was never seen
without n dog at his heels.
This remarkable character lived
about two aud half centuries ago and
was one OF the best known figures In
Surrey lie was originally a silver
smith In the city OF London and. pros
pering in business acquired estates In
different parts Of England.
Developing eccentricities as he grew
old. he adopted the life Of a beggar.
His wanderings we're confined almost
entirely TO Surrey. and he is said to
have begged his way through every
town and village In the county. At his
death In 1851 be left all his wealth to
the market towns and parishes Of Sur
rey. and the endowment enabled each
town to spend $3.50 and each village
about $50 on the purchase Of clothing
for Its poor.
Mitcham. however. was excluded
from his benefactions. Smiths explana-
ton being that on one occasion the in
