ly wasn't very expensive, though it was a nuisance-we got collie.
 Collie was a fine blue ribbon dog, and my husband was a lot prouder of him than he was of his whole family combined He'd strut up and down in front of the house by the hour airing the dog, just as of the dog hadn't been out the whole blessed day airing him. self! Collie used to get the best of dog biscuit and choice cooked bits of meat He wouldn't even look at the things that ordinary dogs eat, and we didn't expect him to. His beauty and lineage entitled him to the best and we gave it to him willingly.
 However, when summer came we planned to go away as usual. We thought we'd go west, and the first thing was to plan for was that Collie should be we'll taken care of. We asked all our friends who knew Collie well to take care of him in our ah- sence, but they all refused, gently but firmly-I couldn't think why Finally my husband asked friens of ours out in the country to take Collie, and he consented We sent Collie out there the day we left on our little trip.
 At our first stopping place we found a telegram saying that Collie refused to eat, being evidently lonesome with out us. We laughed and said he'd get over it. So we went on. At the sec- ond city there was another telegram saying that Collie hadn't eaten for days and that we'd better return. We did.
 We found that Collie just wanted dog biscuit and tenderloin! He wasn't at all particular about our presence, provided he got the kind of fare he demanded.

Bill of are

Yes, we've just had to chloroform our last dog" sighed Mrs. Mack re- signedly. He had such a bad tenn per No, we didn't bury him-we couldn't unless we dug up the alley, and We might have been arrested for that. And it's so disagreeable to keep a dog around waiting for the authori- ties to take him away that the boys just took him down the street a few blocks late at night and put him in one of the vestibules,
 'No, of course didn't inquire. So I don't know what they did with him. Now we're looking around for another dog"
 Mrs. Mack frightened perceptibly as she viewed the prospect of having new pet. "You know, it's awfully lone some without a dog" she said. But let me tell you one thing-the next dog Is going to have a very different bring ing up.
 Our first dog was tiny black and tan, and he was such baby that we fed him with cream through a piece of cotton. It was all very well for few days while the feeding was a novelty, but after that no one wanted to feed him-and I simply had to! And when he got big enough to eat common fare he simply refused 10 touch 1t. So there I had to pay for an extra bottle of cream every blessed day for that dog!
 Tt was months before he'd think of taking a drop of the cream without the cotton, too! Well, the dog catch CTS got him at last. and I was so tired of feeding him that I didn't try to bail him out.
 "Then we had Fanny. Fanny was a tiny fuzzy puppy, and we simply adored her. But I thought was wise after my experience with the black and tan, and I wouldn't feed her a par ticle of cream. I made up my mind that everything she ate and got used to while she was young should be just the common fare from the table. And I insisted that she should get to lik- ing vegetables while she was too young to know any better.
 "We got Fanny in the spring, when we had fresh vegetables. Later on used to save skins and ends of the to- matoes and cook them up with other things as I had to feed Fanny.
 That dog was splendid about 1t, too; ate every scrap I gave her, and was delighted. That is until the fall came and tomatoes were too high to buy every day.
 "1 cooked up Fanny's dinner as usu- al-and the little scamp refused to eat! After day or two I got scared. I thought she was going to be ill., so I tried all sorts of delicacies to tempt her appetite, but it was of no use. She simply wouldn't eat and she grew thin as lath!
 Finally one day We had guests, and had salad again-and unthinkingly fixed up Fanny's food as usual. And you should have seen that dog eat! She ate and ate and ate-and when she had finished all had to give her she lay by her plate and kept her nose over it, just daring any one to take 1t away It was the tomatoes! She had had them every day since she was puppy, and she couldn't eat without them!
 After Fanny died-we used to buy canned tomatoes after that and it real

The ordinance committee Of the city
council, consisting Of Jerome d. Jones,
chairman; r. ]. Lafly and Geo. G.
Brown, met at the city council cham
Der Of the city hall this morning at IL
o'clock, with the property owners
along Front street from Ferry street
to Center street, in connection with
the recent differences that have arisen
relative to the construction OF eight
spur switches, which the mayor and
street committee have requested to be
put in before the street is paved. At
torney John II. McNary represented
the Oregon Electric Railway company
and Ernest w. Hardy, an attorney Of
Portland represented the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern Railway company.
R. X. Page, city attorney, was also
present.
Chairman Jones, Of the ordinance
committee, stated the purpose Of the
meeting to be to come to an under
standing as to the best way out Of the
difficulties of the three contending
factions. Mr. McNary said that It was
not the purpose Of his company to at
tempt to construct any switches or
spurs unless they were wanted by the
property owners, and there was suf-
flcient business TO justify the COM
'pany in making them, and that the
only reason that his company was now
constructing them was that the mayor
had at least a dozen times requested
them constructed, and that the street
committee had also requested II a
number Of times.
Mr. Hardy represented to the COM
mlttee that his company was active be-
cause It had been requested to by the
mayor and street committee, and that
his company was satisfied to act In
constructing spurs. cross-overs and
sldings now, in order to save expense
in cutting up the pavement whenever
siding would be needed in the fu-
ture.
No attempt will be made to lay a
spur on the east side Of the street from
Court street to Center, but the neces-
sary frogs and crossing will be placed
80 that they can be put in If the de
mand will Justify In the future.
Thomas Brown, attorney for tho va
rlous persons who have filed lnjunc'
ton suits against the Oregon Electric
company, requested that the rall@ay
company stipulate that the spur tracki
be not used unless at the request ol
the abuttlng property owners. and Mr.
McNary stated that he had taken thai
part Of the matter up with his com
pany. and that he had no doubt thai
the company would be glad TO consen
to Mr. Browns request This seemed
TO satisfy Mr.. Browns clients.
