DOGS IN PHILADELPHIA
HAVE QUEER CEMETERY

|. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-One of the
oldest cemeteries in the worid--a
cemetery for dogs-fs in this city.
There innumerable shafts-some of
simple wood design, many Of stone
and marble bearing elaborate cpl
taphs-bear mute testimony Of the
love Of man for his most constant
friend"
Strangely enough, the very first
grave shelters no dog Of any breed,
but cat instead. Huckleberry is
the name and he Cor she) is designat-
ed as a Liberty bond cat, a term
which no one seems able to explain.
Huckleberry died August 3, 1919,
according to the simple inscr1pt on
on the marble slab, which also bears
the name of F. H. Chatfield, Huckle-
berry's owner. The grave has flowers
growing around it.
The largest stone in the cemetery,
five feet tall and nearly as wide,
bears the following inscription:
"This stone erected by Arthur
Peterson in memory of his two dogs,
Sand, a Scotch collie, died August II.
1914, and Mozambique, a st. Ber-
years his affectionate companions
and faithful friends"
No visitor can help but noticing
the stone inscribed with unromantic
ter. Bugs" grave is SURF ounded
by a we'll trimmed low hedge and
geraniums and daisies blow gently
in the wind in front of the stone,
which bears the following verse:
Bugs, our dear doggie is here;
Under the sod he is lying;
Grief C9n bnt nOOrlV eXnreS4
Sorrow we felt at his dying;
Perfect companion was he.
One big man we called him;
Time cannot make us forget,
Truly and sadly we mourn. him.
Enduring with patience until the end,
Requiescat in peace. dear little
friend.
The founders Of the cemetery have
a large lot with four graves. Chief
of the stones in this McClelland Dot
is the one in memory of Gobbo, born
in 1875, and dying in 1889. No occu-
pant of the cemetery goes back in
time as far as this doggie, who was
for fifteen years the pet of Harriet
Hare and Geo. McClelland, according
to the inscription. Also in this lot
the cemetery is named, Francis
died in 1910. Quilts" and Carl"
lie side by side on the same lot.
The familiar inscription found on
many stones in most graveyards, In
the Hope Of a Blessed Immortality,
is not lacking in this cemetery. 1t is
written over the grave of Prince,
who is further described as Dear
| Fy Beloved and Faithful Friend" The
date, March 10, 1908, is also on the
stone.
The prize verse, though not most
| touching, surmounts the grave OF
"Snookie Middendorf," who died at
the ripe old age Of Is years. This is
| what some one said of "Snook1e:"
Our Darling Pet
We will never forget.

Of "Skibo," who died November 80.

Skibo loved US, we loved him;
He has gone from our home.
But not from our hearts.
There is only a wooden shaft over

Tenderly, kind and true;

Several prominent Wall street men
are directors of the National Thrift
Bond corporation, which began bust
ness in 1917. Among them are Off
Gals of several of the 119 Industrial
establishments whose employees
bought the bonds. Mr.. Mclaughlin
said he had been informed by In

an instrument for intoxicating the
saving habit among workinGmen and
women, that many Of these industrial

employees of their bonds so that they
would not suffer any losses. Mr. Nc
Laughlin added efforts would be made
to induce someone to take over the
