o PULLS o

Eight year ole Roger jackson OF
Atlanta, Georgia, had a loose
tooth that vas about ready to
come out. He tied a string to it
but no one would pull it. He was
just about ready to do the old
trick of tying one end to a door
knob and then slam the door,
when his puppy Rags spied the
string, leaped and grabbed it and
out came the tooth.
TEACHING PUP TO LEAD
Many people find it hard to
teach a young puppy to lead.
Don't expect to put a collar on a
pup for the first time, snap a
leash to the cellar and have him
behave as you desire. 1t is all
new to the dog and he can't quite
understand what is expected. of
him, hence he pulls and tugs,
shakes his head, or more often
just sits down and refuses to
move. The best way to accustom
a dog to a lead is as follows:
First. put a collar Or a harness
on the animal and leave it on a
week so that he will become
accustomed to its feeling. Then,
tie him up for a short time. Re
lease him after swapping the leash
to his collar. You will find that
he will gladly follow you away
from the place to which he was
tied. Two or three lessons, follow
ing the above procedure, coupled
with bits of meat given as a re-
ward, will work wonders in teach
ing a dog proper manners On a
leash.
JUDGE ERRS To HELP DOG
1t has been established in court
time after time that a dog is
property thus, according to
law, must be treated as such. But
a few years ago Judge Edward
J.. McGoldrick, well known New
York jurist. knowingly erred in an
opinion he handed down from the
bench regarding the disposition Of
a mans property"
A man who had seen better days
was brought before the Judge by
a receiver appointed by the court,
for failing to allow his dog to be
sold to satisfy his creditors. The
listened to the mans plea
that the dog had been his faithful
companion for nine years and had
shared both his prosperity and ad-
versity. Spectators in the court
room were moved to tears as the
elderly man passionately pleaded
to be allowed to keep his pet. YoI
could have heard a pin drop as
McGoldrick slowly and de-
.liberately rendered his decision.
He held that the dog on account
of his age and absence of pedi-
gree had no real value and that
the man could keep the dog. Court
attaches knew the judge had
erred legally and that lawfully the
dog could have been taken to sat
isfy creditors but they Joined in
the noisy celebration that greeted
the decision.

story of how Mr.. Marshall bounced
back at the league meeting the
following day is revelation of the
mans character. "Bo" Russell's

After wading through stacks of
sports books weighted down with
dry, factual material, it is a pleasure
to pick up one that not only has all
the facts but fairly ripples with
amusing anecdotes. Mrs. MARSHALL s
book--the lady in everyday life is
the wife of George Preston Marshall,
president of the Redskins-is not
only amusing but authentic Redskin
history. Her keen sense of humor
sparkles on every page, except, of
course, when the author is dealing
with facts. Then she becomes dead
serious and calls a spade a spade.
She makes out an excellent case for
her side.
Only infrequently does Mrs. Mar
shall have to defend the team and
the most important instance, of
course, concerned the unfounded
charge of gambling by the players.
Simply but forcefully she relates the
background of the incident-and car
ries it through to its dramatic con-
clusion in the newspaper Office where
the players and club officials faced
their accusers with a demand to
name the guilty ones. Even this
tense episode in the Redskin saga Is
riddled with a sly humor, prefaced
by title chapter, "Tain't Funny.

She describes how the league
wavered on the brink of indecision
in 1943 when certain club owners
wanted to fold up for the remainder

New York Giants, Detroit Lions
and Green Bay Packers resolved to
carry on among themselves if neces-

President CleveIand's Wedding.
Another great social event. certain
ly of no less interest than the
Grant-Sartoris wedding, was the
marriage of President Grover Cleve-
land and Frances Folsom on June
2, 1886. The ceremony was per-
formed in the blue room which
was transformed into a bower of
beauty for the occasion, and the
noted bandmaster, John Philip
Sousa, then director of the Marine
Band, came with that celebrated
organization of musicians to enliven
the occasion. The officiating clergy
man was the Rev. Byron Sunder-
land, who had been the pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church from
1858.
According to a published state
ment, the time required for the
marriage ceremony was just 7 min
utes: "At 7:03 o'clock Mendelssohn' S
march was played by the band. At
the same instant the booming Of
guns was heard and the ringing
of church bells and blowing of
steam whistles told the story to all
the people of Washington that the
marriage had taken place. The
Marine Band finished the march at
7:05. At 7:12 the band again began
to play" indicating that the cere-
mony was over.
The ceremony itself was the same
one that DR.. Sunderland
had read to many contracting par
ties on previous occasions and he
stood before the distinguished cou-
pie beside the Rev. William H. Cleve-
land. Presbyterian clergyman, and
brother to the President.
The Wedding Dress.
1t might be interesting to the
women of the present day to know
the nature of the brides costume
The dress was of ivory satin cut en-
train, with high corsage and elbow
sleeves. Two bands of null. edged
with lace, crossed the bosom and
the skirt was trimmed with the same
sort of scarfs which crossed the front
and formed the trimming of the
skirt. The orange blossom gar
niture, commencing upon the veil
in superb cornet. was continued
throughout the costume A veil of
tulle completely enveloped the bride
and fell to the edge of her train.
Among the kilograms received by
the President was one from Queen
Victoria of England. Her telegram
said: Pray accept my sincere con-
gratulations on your marriage, and
my best wishes for your happiness.
