GIRL PLAYS DEAD;

When Wreaths Of Flowers Arrive
the Supposed Corpse Laughs
Over the "Joke."
THROWN FROM HORSE
Although unlnlured She Goes Home

Spokane, Wash.-After descending

the following afternoon. during which
time dozens of grieving friends viewed
her apparently nfeless form and
brought great wreaths OF flowers to
accompany her to the grave, Jessie
Siders of the Howard hotel nearly
gave those friends a severe case OF
heart failure when she suddenly
opened her eyes, brushed aside the
banks of flowers and languidly re-
marked that she did not believe she

automobile and jumped down an en-

facetiousness decided to give her
roommate, Nellie Trainer, a scare.

TIBET'S DOGS SET FASHION
London's Fancy Veers to Mastiffs
Brought From Asia to King
George.

London.-Th arrival Of six Tibetan
rnastiffs at the geological gardens Is
likely to start new fashion in dogs,
especially since the newcomers be-
long to the king and the craze for big
dogs is growing.
The newcomers appear like a cross
between a mastiff and a collie. They
have black and tan coats and carry
their tails. which are bushy, well
over the back. Their heads are broad
and Of the mastiff build, with pendent
ears, hanging lips and eyes that are
wolflike.
In their native country such dogs
are trained to give notice OF the APP
proach OF strangers and to guard
sheep from wolves.
