That question increases in importance from year to year Time was when a man coule enter A barber shop, get a shave, pay his dime and walk out a free matt parlor, pay one dime In the man who shaves him as a tip. pay another dime or 15 cents to the cashier as the price of the shave and pay at least 5 cents to the obsequious youth who brushes the dandruff from the front of his coat end leaves It on the hack.

In Their Preservation of the historic glories of the homestead. as well as of their own family, shedding a social luster upon everything In their possession, they have from generation to generation passed down the custom of entombing their dog pets beside the dust of Peale's favorite. The Inscription on the Monument, however, changes with successive occupants of the plot of ground. Beside the beautiful driveway leading up to the historic Peale homestead. now the Wister mansion, a Short distance from Wister station, can still be seen the humble white shaft. The last family pro to which this simple but Imposing memorial was erected was "General." The monument bears the Inscription: "GENERAL." June. 1888. December. 1900. But another household favorite, soon probably to pass to the notable canine cemetery. Is a handsome brown Newfoundland He has reached the distinction of mature years—In dogdom—and during his lifetime to far has behaved with the full social dignity and aristocratic honor of his patron family. When hla last summons comes the Wlsters will reward him. too, by strict adherence to family traditions In giving him a place beneath or beside the monument that has marked the resting place of so many aristocratic dogs. With Its 160 years' record, this littls plot of ground. It Is claimed.
