Every year Tody took his troop OF

Some there were who called Tody

Vegetarian dogs-two of 'em-are
owned by a Russian prince now visit
ing in New York. The dogs have
never tasted meat They are pure
white Siberian blood hounds and when
their master arrived at the Majestic
with them an attendant tried to feed
them meat. They shifted and turned
away.
The prince explained that he had
been a vegetarian for sixteen years
and on the theory that what was good
for the master was likewise good for
the dogs he has fed them no meat.
They have never had sick day and
their coats are particularly glossy.
II is his claim that meet spells a

disposition. He declares that his two

of temperament when annoyed to an
unusual degree.
