Jack: First Dog in the World.
Jack wag a most remarkable exumpln of a sudden rise
In the world. Ha was a stray dog for the time being, having
run away from a master for whom he didn't seem to have
any special fondness und In the course of his wanderings
Elrayed Into Marlborough housi; and planted himself on the
steps. It was Just after the king had lost his faithful and
beloved hlto.k bulldog, known as Peter, or at hast lonji
enough alter that event to admit of his being open to conse
latlon, when Ir came down the steps and met Jack, win
began by rubbing his hnd on his trousers In h way that
Indicated that lie had come to stay. None of the llunkles and
attendants could give any Information about hltn. The king
was won by the (log's friendliness and calm assurance, but
as even kings have some scruples about making off with the
dog of another mini, Kdward nrd-red him to the stables to be
fed and nt the same time, hud an advertisement Inserted In
the papers.
A citizen in plain c lothes turned up and provid himself
to be the owner, und was Invited to iiaim nt price for the dog.
which, being a loyal and well trained Englishman, he refused
to do. and Instead presented It to the king. Since then Jack
has become the foremost dog In the country, and assumed
his royal prerogatives In a way that won him favor, because
II was so totally different from his predecessor. Peter, who
always had been noted for his gentleness and docility.
Jack, on the contrary, frisked and fondled his new master
with true Irish Impudence, which won the king's fancy, lie
had good points, and it turned out that he had a good pedigree
as Irish terriers go, and he and his master formed a friend
ship which was clinched during the Illness of the king Just
before the coronation. The dog was one of the earliest
visitors to the sickroom and nobody could persuade him to
leave the king's side. He had his meals of dog biscuit at the
foot of the royal bed. and whenever the king was able to
sit up and let his hand wander down by the side of his chair
it encountered Jack's cold black nose. Afterward Jack went
with him on tho Solent, where the king was convalescent,
and later was one of the chief figures In the cruise which
was taken half way around the British Isles. On this occa
sion Jack distinguished himself by abject and overmastering
seasickness, which brought forth an example of the strict
ness of professional etiquette as it pertains to doctors, and
especially to royal doctorB. The king's own physician was
aboard, but could not be called upon to relieve Jack on
account of his professional dignity, whereupon his majesty
ordered the yacht to run in shore, where a veterinary
surgeon was called upon.

Hitherto the most circumspect of dogs, he barked and whined
at the royal calves and made a pretense o'. snapping at them,
and refused to be appeased, all of which the king took with
astonishing good nature, even going to the length of putting
on trousers for a time and changing back again In the dog's
presence. It seems that the more lilierties Jack takes with
his sovereign the more of a favorite he becomes, and not
long ago, when he got a fish bone In his throat he made a
mighty commotion and ran past the alarmed attendants to
the king, allowing no one else to touch him until that person
had poked his royal finger down his throat and extracted tho
bone.
The latest addition that the king has made to the royal
kennels was a French bulldog named Melba. which he
recently purchased In Paris.
