PETER, SMALL DOG.

There is a little black-bordered In Memorials: notice on a wall near Kensington Gardens, where The Peter, the Poter Pan we know so well, lives. It says that Peter is dead. But this Peter was an Aberdeon terrier, well known in Bayswater road. His master lived in a grand house, but Peter preferred the taxi , rank. He loved taximen, and day after day he would join them, no matter what the weather, remaining till the last taxi went home at midnight. No doubt Peter could have had delicious food at home, but he chose to share the cabmen's meals. Every man knew and loved him. When Peter's master went on a holiday he left his pet in tbe taximen's care, and then Peter got moro spoiled than. ever. This friendship went on for years, till Peter grew older and feebler, and at last his owner said it was merciful to have him destroyed. Only people who havo loved a dog can guess how much those taximen miss Peter. They say no other dog will ever bo like him. And they have put up an In Memoriam notive to their small friend.
