The Wonder is it Lived so Long.— St. Louis , Mo., 
Nov. 12 .—Despite the skill of nineteen veterinary surgeons 
and four of the best physicians in St. Louis, Movie, handsome 
King Charles spaniel belonging to Mrs. Emma Parker, of 1009 
North Channing Avenue, died Wednesday. It was buried yes¬ 
terday with more honors than many people pay to a member of 
the family. The dog was wrapped in a white shroud, carefully 
placed in a coffin and buried in St. Louis county. All the 
women friends of Mrs. Parker attended the funeral. A post¬ 
mortem examination revealed the cause of death as peach stones. 
Movie had been ill several months. When the doctors could 
not discover his ailment, Mrs. Parker applied to a Christian 
scientist. The latter wanted $3 for a book on the doctrine. 
Mrs. Parker was willing to pay the money, but she could not 
digest the book, so she had to abandon hope of Christian Science. 
She received letters from persons all over the country suggesting 
methods of treating the pet dog. Among these was a note from 
Mrs. J. R. Cohick, of Tuckahoe, N. Y. Each had a “sure 
cure,” but it always failed to cure poor Movie.
