BOSTON DOG !.
HAS A VALET
Lives in a Fifteen-room House
and Has Daily Food Al
iovvance of ST. so.

BOSTON, April 22.-Few persons in
Greater Boston know that Cohasset is
the abode Of royalty. -
Yet down in Cohasset, of beautiful
Jerusalem road, high up on q great
estate, ina fifteen room house, with a
splendid big bed for himself, with an
allowance Of $1.50 day for meals
and with Japanese valet to attend
him night and day, lives his imperial
highness Prince, monster Great
Dane dog.
The palace Of Prince Is situated on
an eminence. Far above 1t 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 H. /. NJ
to occupy one Of the finest homes In
Cohasset, Just above Princes palace.
Return for Favor Done.
This is. in return for favor done
Prince by Howes. Mr.. Howes, while
Prince was still in his early days oil
youth, purchased him. Though the
base mercantile transaction must have
hurt Princes dog heart, he never
WINGED, and swallowed the humilia-
ton with royal fortitude and regal
philosophy. Mr.. Howes installed him
In the palace just below. and Prince,
out Of gratitude, has permitted Mr..
Howes's residence near him ever since.
This was about year and half ago.
Should you desire an audience with
his majesty, an Interview first with
one Toku Kobe, his valet, is desirable.
In fact, the Princes valet is quite
laxative in regard to his majesty's
tastes and customs.
ut is pleasant to know that Prince
likes one," said the reporter. what
does he usually desire for repast?'
he asked with some apprehension.
"Ah, the expense is great. Some
times $40 in the month for meat alone
and only the best"
you provided" a,
YES, each day travel to the town
to purchase provisions. buy the
best OF meat-cost it % cents or 25
cents, 1t does not matter, II it is only
good. He eats sometimes more, some
times less, than two and a half pounds
each day"
"And besides?" .t..
He is very fond Of bone-just bone
Few people care for bone, but he
likes it. l expend. it may be. ten cents
/ fifteen cents, twenty cents daily for
bone. But that is not all. Speaking
of the table. he requires some fifty
to sixty pounds Of dog biscuits each
month. for he is also very fond OF
dog biscuit That is most expensive
I l have paid ten cents, even more, for
each pound of dog biscuit that goes
upon the table.
"He will now 60 to the supper. Fol
lowing that he goes to the bath. for
he is most carefully groomed," said
the Hon. Kobe, while the reporter
thought Of what they say about Peters
aversion to bathing.
Has Two Baths a Day.
After the BATH" continued the Hon
Kobe, leading II. /. NJ. into the ante
chamber, then into the interior of the
palace, he wanders about the house
there are actually more than fifteen
apartments in it-and then, when he
desires, he retires. 1t is my duty ia
see that the bath water is not too hot
nor too cold. that he receives the med
icines prescribed by the physician
that the bed is made properly and
smoothly. the linen changed and the
lights extinguished. I awake him In
the morning, battle him and give him
breakfast, after which he goes for q
tramp in the woods, usually attended
by me. Thus the day passes and keeps
me very preoccupied. AS Mr.. Howes
had no other place at Princes dispos-
al, he has kept this house open through
the winter season especially for
Prince"
