This Limestone Lion Has 24-Hour Steady Job

I T is surprising how many animals
i you may discover IL you hunt
them among the cornices and balus-
trades of Washington houses.
A limestone lion snarls at you from
the front OF 1892 street. 1t is a big
three-story and basement house. The
porch entrance and the first story are
of limestone and the higher stories
of rec brick, with limestone courses.
On the east side of the front bay
window starts from the top of the
basement and extends UP two stories.
Much of this bay window rests on
the lions back. Perhaps that is why
he appears SO fierce, for the window
is an overload for a lion, more re-
nowned as beast of heraldry than as
a beast of burden. That bay window
would be more than load for a
mule, though brick makers and stone
dealers too often show a disposition
to make a mule haul enough brick and
stone in one load to build such bay
window. The lion rests his front paws

Eleven Dogs and Crow Special Pets of Firemen

VETHEN the fire bell sounds and the
w engines and trucks go dashing
up the street, nearly always there will
be seen, running and barking before
the steeds, playful and intelligent
dog.
There are II such mascotG "a the
local fire department, and they are
just about as proud as can be; for in
a day or two Tax Collector Rogers will
issue to them, without cost, bright,
new, glittering tags. These dogs are
the most intelligent and best trained
CANNES in the CITY,. They are faith-
full to their masters, and, needless to
say, the firemen love them.
There are Tom, and Rags, and Bell,
and Nell, and Jack, and Teddy, and
Bubbles, and Mig, and Billikin, and
Nell, and Minnie. Among the most
interesting of these is Jack, black
and-white bulldog, belonging to En-
CINE Company No. 7, in r street North
west, between Ninth and Tenth
streets. And Jack has a companion
a black one, and a very strange one,
too-a crow, named Jerry.
Now, some persons would naturally
conclude that there was not much
peace in a place where a crow and a
bulldog were put together-that is,
not until after some feathers had
come out and some crow had disap-
peared-but such is not the case at

of friends, and play with each other

into a scrap.

they were at their best. Mrs. Thrale

or eight peaches before breakfast, and
that frequently he lanented having
