Larry had pro- mised to get Lonny a real live dog in place of the bear. One a, as Larry wae on his way to school, he met a policeman who always stood at the crossing and Larry stopped to say good morning to Look what I have just found, said the policeman and Larry came close to look and ju his arms saw a tiny, black shaggy. puppy, "That is Just what I want for my little brother, he said. "1 promised him a bay dog for his very own and haven't been able to find one." gs "Why you can have this ove," said the policeman. I found it on a pile of coal and 'was afraid it would freeze to death, =0 was taking it to the sta- n house. 1 will keep it for' you until you go by this noon." a 'At moon Larry came running up to the officer om took the dog and ran home as fast as he could. Lonny saw him coming and ran to meet him and, 'when he saw the puppy he gave a shout of joy. "Oh, you have got wy dog, let" me see him, lot me see him, he cried. Larry gave him his new pet and they hurried into the house to find Larry's puppy. It didn't take the two dogs long to get acquainted and in a little while they were playing together nr though they had known each other all their lives. * "What shall we name them?" ask- ed Larfy. "Lets ask mother," said Lonny and they ran to their mother, each with a dog under his arm. Their mother suggested several names but none seemed to suit until she said: "Lonny; why not name yours Teddy and Larry can name his Bear?" The boys thought that was fine, and so the dogs were named, one Teddy and the other Bear.

Nowadays the bride has the wed- ding ring placed on the fourth finger of the left hand, the ancient belief being that a smal artery (some peo- ple call it vein) uns from this finger to the heart. But at one time mar- ried women of Britain placed the plain hoop of gold on the thumb, and some old missals are said to have di- rected that the ring be put first on the thumb, afterwards upon the se- cond, then on the third, and finally on the fourth fingers. Rings, however, are by no 'means limited to betrothals and weddings, according to Mr. known book, . '"Finger-Ring - Lore." One of the prettiest fancies connected with these ornaments is the inserib- | ing of moftoes or short verses within |* the hoop, though it must be confesa- ed that 1 rings are especially marked out for such sentiments. When men and women took life perbaps more seriously than they did Just before the outbreak of the war, mourning rings were inscribed with a Death's head, a sort of grim re- minder, like the skeleton at the feast, that mankind is mortal; and a fam- ous noble Scottish family have a mournful tradition connected with this custom. In the seventeenth cen- tury the young heir won the heart and hand of a Dutch lady of rank, but when the marriage day arrived the bridegroom was missing. Excited and breathless messengers found the young gentleman calmly sitting down to breakfast, oblivious of the important business on hand; but he attempted to make amends for his strange lapse of memory by hasten- ing to the church, where his alarmed bride awaited him. Then he found that he had forgot- ten the ring, but a friend hurriedly handed him one, which was placed on~ the bride's finger, when to everyone's horror it was discovered that an evil omen had occurred, in that it was fot an ordinary but a mourning ring, bearing the sinister sign of the skull and crossbones, This occurrence had such an effect on the newly-made wife that she declared she should die within the year, and the tradition adds that her prophecy was unhap- pily fulfilled. Rings were algo used in connection with astrology, divination, 'investi- tures, quackery, coronations, and re- ligion, and at one time a certain kind was believed to be efficacious in the cure of cramp and epilepsy. ------------ Royal Incomes, In addition to the £470,000 a year King George receives from the State, be has a personal income of £61,000 a year from the Duchy of Lancaster. The latter was presented by Edward III. to his son, John of Gaunt, and with the accession to the throne in 1899 of John of Gaunt's son as Henry IV., the Duchy became a Crown possession, and is now a valu- able property in lands, royalties, fees, etc, and forms part of the income of the King. The Prince of Wales is not provid- | ed for in the Civil List, the name given to the sums of money voted by Parliament for the maintenance of the Royal Family: His Royal High- ness receives about £87,000 annually from the Duchy of Cornwall, which Was also originated by Edward II. for the support of his eldest son, and the éldest son of the Sovereign has, since that time, always been born Duke of Cornwall, and derived his income from the valuable property in lands, royalties, fees, etc. In the event of his marrying, the wife of the Prince of Wales will re- ceive £10,000 a year, to be increased to £30,000 a year if she survives him, while each of the King's young- er sons receives £10,000 a year when he is twenty-one years old, to be in- creased to £25,000 at marriage.
