Some characteristic names were "The Good Intent," "Reliance, "Clock-WorkAccommodation, and The Regulator." These names seem to hold out a guarantee of regularity and punctuality. Two coaches which used to run were named respectively Spitfire and Vixen. Perhaps the appropriateness of these names is apparent when it is recorded that these two ran in opposition to one another. Defiance was a common name in use during the stage coach period, and was withal something more than a mere name; it really amounted to a challenge, defying, as it were, all competitors on the road. Sporting names were also used to a large extent. Such were "Tally-ho,- " r, Tantivy," "Highflyer, d Racer and The latter ap"Flying Childers. parently took its name from a famous racehorse of the period. n A and favorite atage coach was named "Peveril of the Peak. Its great rival was named "The Royal Bruce. Another class of names included such as "Lightning, " "Quicksilver," and Express, Telegraph, Swiftsure. Some of the stage coaches were named after the famous people of the period, and here we have "Lord Nelson, Rodney, Cornwallis, The Prince of Wales, and The Duke of Wellington. Two rather significant names were Give and Take," and Live and Let Live. horse-draw- ," VALEWirJIS WIDEST SELECTION in the City TO CHOOSE FROM "Hie-ove- "High-mettle- South in Sugarhouse 1069 Ernst 21 at well-know- .

A shepherd dog fell in love with the bronze statue of a man on horseback recently in Louisville, Ky. For five days, rain or shine, day and night, the dog kept his strange vigil, waiting for the man he had chosen as master it was Gen. John B. Castleman to dismount so that he might follow and serve him. The dogs mysterious patience drew a crowd. Among it was one couple, a Mr. and Mrs. P. T. Hale, who were so touched by the animals devotion that they volunteered to adopt him. They led the dog away to their home, but his obsession for the statue was too great. He broke away and returned to the bronze figure. The Hales led him away again, and this time succeeded in persuading him to go with them to warmth and food. They named the dog "General.
