BULLDOG CAPTURES
THE HIGHEST HONORS
Strathtay Prince Albert Given
Greatest Award Possible
in This Country.

NEW YORK, February 22-Strathtav
Prince Albert. the bulldog which created
quite a furore i'm his regular classes by
beating the great string of Donald Law
son, added to his laurels yesterday at the
Westminster Kennel Club dog show h.
winning the highest award that may be
won by a dog in this country. The heavy
headed white and brindle patched bull
was given the trophy for the best dog in
the show of any breed. age or sex. and
with this went the distinction of his be-
ing the first of his type to win that title
at the leading American shows. Placed in
reserve to him was Nickery Estelle. d
wire-haired fox terrier bitch owned by
the Vickery Kennels of Evanston. Ill AS
Strathtay Prince Albert is the property
of Alexander S. Stewart of Chicago. and
Evanston is a suburb of that city, 1t was
rather red-letter day for the middle
west exhibitors.
Just how close the contest was for the
first prize between the terrier and the
bulldog may be CLEANED from the fact
that G.. Muss-Arnold and DIR. Henry Jar
regg, the judges. disagreed. and Theo-
dore Offerman was called in to make
the decision AS he is well known as
terrier judge. many about the ring
thought he would favor the terrier. so IL
came as quite surprise when he put the
terrier in reserve. The fancier who up
held the points OF the terrier felt that SO
long as the two dogs We're so evenly
matched Estelle should have been
given the award on the matter of su-
perior condition. Strathtay Prince ALBERT
was not i'm good coat, and this was adj
mitted by his owner, and for this reason
he said that he thought the victory was
all the more notable because OF the lack
of tip-top form.
The new champion of champions. as
we'll as the reserve, are recent English
importatons, thus making IL appear that
the American breeds have some way To
advance yet to compete with the Brltons.
Strathtay Prince Albert was bred In
Cheshire England. by Col. Edelsten, an
officer of the Indian service in the Brit
ish army. He was left in England when
his owner was ordered TO his regiment
and he was bought by Rowland Buck
lev an Airedale fancier. on whose tudg-
ment Mr.. Stewart relies. The present
owner would not state how much lie had
paid for the dog. but he said that lie
would not sell him for any price. The
champion is Chineham Joker, out of Mos
ton Violet, and his grandsires We're Rival
Stone and Prince Albert, famous dogs on
the other side. He will be three years
old in July and weighs forty-one pounds.

Little Stories for Bedtime.
The Foo1ishness of Unc' Billy Postum.
By Thornton w. Burgess.

If inc Billy Postum hadn't happened
to look out of his doorway in the big hol-
low tree in the Green Forest, or if Jimmy
Skunk hadn't happened to come along just
that very minute. or if INC Billy hadn't
asked Jimmy where he had been, or if
Jimmy hadn't mentioned nice fresh eggs
inc Billy wouldn't have been foolish and
old Mrs Postum wouldn't have been wor-
RED But all those things did happen.
They happened one day in the very last
part of winter, when inc Billy Postum
was getting uneasy because he had been
penned up In his home in the hollow tree
SO long.
You see, inc Billy came from way
down south, and SO he didn't like the
snow and ice and the cold winds. And
because he didn't like them he spent most
of his time curled up asleep in his home
in the hollow tree in the Green Forest.
He hadn't had much to eat all winter, but
he hadn't minded that, because he slept
so much that he wasn't awake long
And then he had been very, very fat W hen
he shut himself up, SO that he hadn
needed to eat Sometimes he came out to
stretch his legs and run around on the
snow a little. But he didn't do this often,
and then only on very mild days.
But now that winter was most over
Unc' Billy was getting uneasy. and he
was getting hungry. as now he was very,
very thin So. after Jimmy Skunk had
mentioned his fine breakfast Of fresh eggs
inc Billy Postum couldn't think of any
thing else. He knew well enough where
Jimmy had found those eggs. Yes, in
deed. Unc' Billy knew all about it, He
could shut his eyes and just see the in
side of Farmer Browns henhouse. with
the rows of hens and ROSTERS sitting on
the roosts at one end, their heads tucked
under their wings. He could see the rows
of nests and the beautiful brown eggs in
them Jimmy Skunk couldn't climb, and
so he could have gotten only the eggs in
the lowest nests. Now, IL he. INC Billy.
had been there he could have climbed to
the very topmost nest and-but what was
the use of thinking about it? He hadn't
been there and he couldn't go now, be-
cause it was daylight.
All the rest of the day Unc Billy tried
to sleep, but when he did sleep he
dreamed about eggs, nice, fresh. delicious

PENITENTIARY FOR WOMEN.
Movement to Establish One in Hi.
nOis Is Under Wav.

CHICAGO, February 22.-Members OF
the Illinois WOmen's Democratic League
began a movement yesterday for the es
tablishment in this state of separate
penitentiary for women.
The institution as proposed would be
entirely governed by women, and would
be separated entirely from the other state
prisons. A part of the plan is to have a
board of three woman commissioners
directly in control and to have women
exclusively employed as guards, attend
ants and all other positions.
A bill already has been passed by the
legislature for an appropriation for the
establishment of a new state peniten-
tiary, and Gov. Dunno has promised
members Of the league that the matter
will be held in allegiance until he Is in
formed of the nature of the project for
which the women are working.

but altogether they would constitute
very little group in the great threng of
the worlds tree planters.
The friends of forestry point out that
these men and women of the world are
not planting forests for sentiments sake:
that Germany does not plant many trees
for each one that is cut down simply be-
cause a forest is beautiful: that India
does not spend $4,000, 900 a. year IN planting
teak simply to while away the time: that
Russia is not forcing its evergreen for
ests farther north over the bleak steppes
Of Siberia simply with the hope of bring
ing more cheer to its lands of Danish
ment: that France is not reverduring the
Alps simply that the traveller may behold
the trees in their beauty. They urge that
all these nations are doing forestry work
because national thrift prompts it and
national welfare demands it.

And to help along the movement that
is on foot to replace the trees that are
cut down with baby trees that are to
grow. the I.etchworth arbOretum. the
first forest arboretum in the world, has
been established. The blocks of trees
that have been laid out will be large
enough to establish real forest condi-
TONS and yet small enough that the
student can pass from one to the other.
There will be men on the ground to tell
how the work was done; the results will
speak for themselves.
They expect failures as well as sue
cesses at Letchworth, for sometimes it
is as important to know exactly what not
to do as it is to know what to do at
other times. Every forester in the coun-
cry is enthusiastic over Letchworth

for forest arboretum is a great idea
