Charity that begins at home seldom gets over a neighbor’s back fence. Lady Teynham writes: “Why, be- cause a few foolish women feed their pet dogs on a pound of steak 3 day, should all sensible women be tarred with the same brush? The Pekinese seems to be the dog generally sneered atâ€"I suppose because he is small. Properly brought up he is hardy, sporting, and as intelligent as an Irish terrier. A friend of mine had one which swam across a small stream and killed two rats. All they reduire are the scraps left over from the table. In these days, when so many of us have our husbands at the war, it is some comfort not to come back to a perfectly lonely house, but to have a warm greeting from a loyal though small friend." “Give an ordinary terrier or span- iel a quarter of a pound of ‘cat’s meat,’ which costs one penny, or meat that is left over from the table, mixed with a little biscuit or bread, and it will keep well and cost you not more than ls. 6d. a week." WV. 1 Another veterinary surgeon was: very bitter against lap dogs. “They' are the cause of all the extrava- gance,” he said. “A Woman who had put her pet dog under my care sent in for it a meal such as I would have been very pleased to eat. What did the little beast do? It sniffed the food all over, left it uneaten, and gobbled up the biscuit and food that I gave it. “I know a woman who has forty Pekinese and she reserves three rooms in her house for them. A law forbid- ding people to keep more than one dog would be useful. My own dog costs me less to keep than my cat.” “It is not the usual dog that is the cause of waste. He is usually fed on biscuit and a few scraps and he lives healthily on a diet at trifling cost. The dogs that cost the mOst are the most useless; they are the pampered pets.

STRU- 2: HI} y()r,g:n‘i.m(i0n of Port 21 Remarkable 1y. no d fixes ‘rs and , ncuo The son of a small farmer, young Hudson Kearley having learnt the tea business in all its various ramifi- cations at two different tea dealers, at the age of twenty founded a tea firm of his own without any em- ployes and with no capital. He was principal, manager, cashier, sales- man. traveller, and all. In four years he had made a success of this busiâ€" (ness. and was drawing $15,000 a year from it. Then it occurred to him to ,start the International Stores gro- cers’ shops all over the country). At For he is a great business head. No man living knows better than he how to make a great business succeed. It was no successful, sensational specu- lation that built up his enormous for- tune. It was industry, integrity, and efficiencyâ€"willing hands, a stout heart, and a clear, capable headâ€" that in seven years raised him from a lad of seventeen in service at a tea dealers at $6 a week to a successful man of business earning $15,000 a year by the time he was twenty-four, To-day, at the age of sixty, his in- Icome is estimated at anything be. ‘tween $500,000 and $1,000,000. At once masterly and masterful is Lord Devonport. “I know how a business must be conducted if it is to be successful.” That was what he said when he started in to organize the Port of London. It is on business lines, we may be certain, that he will organize and control Great Britain's food supply. onport in 1912. Ben Tillet, the So- cialist orator, publicly supplicated the Almighty, at a huge meeting on Tower Hill, that he would strike Lord Devonport dead. “And all the people said ‘Amen.’ ” However, the devout supplication was not answered. And Lord Devonport is to-day very much alive. Later in 1912, the dock strike com- ing along, Lord Devonport, in the (capacity of chairman of the Port of London Authority, took Mr. Thomas’ ‘place in the public view as the typiâ€" ‘cal stern, unbending employer. But he came in for a larger amount of abuse than usual. For it has not hap- pened to many men (or had not .until we knew the Kaiser) for thou- sands to pray for their death. Yet lthat was what happened to Lord Devâ€" Four years ago Lord Devonport’s name was anathema to a large secâ€" tion of the British working classes. {So also was that of‘Lord Rhondda, jalso a member of the present GOV- ‘ernment, as president of‘the Local Government Board. In all great strikes there is some one employer ‘whom public opinion fixes on as the quintessence of the employing type. In the coal strike of 1912 it was Lord Rhondda, then Mr. D. A. Thomas, and at that time all unaware of what the future held in store for him in the way of acquaintance with Cana- dian munition methods.

Lloyd George Government. The First Lord of the Larder, as he has been aptly termed, is already making himself felt in the Old Country. He is likely to do so with increasing stringency. For that is Lord Devonport’s little way. You may admire him, or you may dread him. But you can scarcely be unaware of him. @EWE?ۤR VERY E!

The Nogi cult still grows in Japan. nAmong the honors lately bestowed by Ithe Emperor were, according to cusâ€" (tom, posthumous honors for some of {Japan’s beloved heroes. Some fell to jthe lot of the spirit of the late Count Nogi, and when Viscount Sonoike, 1court ritualist, with his assistant and ‘a delegate of the Imperial house- hold department proceeded to the mo- idest grave of the nation’s hero in the ’great Aoyama Cemetery, they found ‘a reverent group already assembled ‘and waiting patiently under a down-‘ :pour of rain. ' The ritualist announced before the :grave the Imperial honors. Among 1those who attended was the Count Nogi, whom the Emperor appointed to bear the title which otherwise would have disappeared from Japan upon the death of the conqueror of Port Arthur and hero of Mukden. “Oh,” said the other, “he’s a~settin’ round tellin’ what’s goin’ to happen next election.” “Then he’s a prophet?” "No, he ain’t. So far as this family is concerned, he’s a dead loss." Two women were discussing their marital troubles, when one asked, “By the way, wha? is your husband doing o... now '1” Lord Devonport, in spite of all his hard work, is great at outdoor purâ€" suits. He loves a tramp through the stubble after the partridges. He is a great gardener, and yachting and boating are also among his hobbies. .vthe present these stores number heâ€" . 1 tween two and three hundred. His Active Life. l‘ That, in briefcst outline, is the 33story of Hudson Kearley’s successful ‘ business career. To-day Lord Devon- ’4port, Peer of the Realm, landowner, "and millionaire, declares that there is ‘g‘no romance about itâ€"nothing in it “which cannot be emulated by others. ‘ For he attributes his success to his ‘possession, not of exceptional talent, or exceptional good fortune, but of exceptional industry. His early energy is still unimpaired Iâ€"like so many of the men Mr. Lloyd |George has gathered around him he iis a tiger for work~and to it he has added large stores of business experi- ence and experience of public life. A .Liberal, he represented Devonport in Parliament for eighteen years, and from 1905 to 1909 he was a very use- ful member of the Liberal Ministry. lHe saw the Port of London Act safely iinto law, and then became head of the {public body which was to be run as a 1public utility. The-salary of $20,000 a year is. attached to the post. But Lord Devonport refused to touch a cent of it. The honor of serving the country was enough, he said, for him. As has been said, that service brought him into almost unparalleled unpopu- larity, though it gained him the re- spect of those who like to see a man stand through thick and thin by what he believes to be right. UL LKIL‘ pronunuon order would be postponed until January 1. The press is expressing hope that the authori- ties will further be persuaded to take into consideration the situation fac- ing the manufacturers and workers in Japan and see whether there is not some way of permanently modifying absolute prohibition. __‘ _.'..

The Department of Rural Economy and Statistics of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture has compiled from Zemstvo reports a statement of the activities of the koustar or peasant workers in the making of products for the use of the army. Thus there were made in the Government of Viatka alone 167,467 short fur coats, costing 1,568,890 rubles; 92,615 pairs of felt boots, at 428,684 rubles; 11,030 pairs of stockings, at 5,294 rubles; knitted gloves, socks and mittens to the value of 1,952 rubles; 57,400 earth-carrying bags.
