Boston.-Tew persons in Greater Bos-
ton know that Cohasset is the abode of
royalty.
Yet down in Cohasset. off beautiful
Jerusalem road, high up on a great es-
tate, in fifteen room house. with
splendid big bed for himself. with an
allowance of $3.50 day for meals and
with Japanese valet to attend him
night and day, lives his imperial high
ness Prince, monster Great Dane dog.
The palace of Prince is situated ON
an eminence. Far above it towers the
residence Of Ernest G.. Howes, who
lives in winter on Commonwealth ave-
nue. and who is wealthy Boston man.
He is gracefully permitted by Fl. 1. NJ
to occupy one of the finest homes in
Cohasset, just above Princes palace.
This is in return for favor done
Prince by Mr.. Howes. Mr.. Howes,
while still in his early days of youth.
purchased him. Though the base mer
camille transaction must have hurt
Princes dog heart, he never WINGED
and swallowed the humiliation with
royal fortitude and regal philosophy.
Mr.. Howes installed him in the palace
just below, and Prince, out Of graft
tude, has permitted Mr.. Howes' resi-
dence near him ever since. This was
about year and half ago.

it does not matter if it is only good.
He eats sometimes more. sometimes
less, than two and one-half pounds
each day"
"Anl bcsides?"
"IIe is very fond of bone-just bone.
Few people care for bone, but he likes
it. l expend, it may be, 10 cents, Is
cents. 20 cents, daily for bone. But
that is not all. Speaking of the table,
he requires some fifty to sixty pounds
of dog biscuit each month. for he is
also very fond of dog biscuit. That is
most expensive. l have paid 10 cents,
even more, for each pound of dog bis

Gle will now go to the supper. Fol

Hon. Kobe, while the reporter thought

"After the BATH" continued the Hon.
Kobe, leading II. I. NJ. into the ante
palace, che wanders about the house
there are actually more than fifteen
apartments in it-and then when he de-

this house open through the winter
season especially for Prince
