There’s just the difference be¬ 
tween a raw, poorly made Cock¬ 
tail and a 
Club Cocktail 
that there is between a raw, new 
Whiskey and a soft old one. 
The best of ingredients—the most 
accurate blending cannot 
give the softness and mel¬ 
lowness that age imparts. 
Club Cockteiils are aged in wood 
before bottling—and no freshly 
made Cocktail can be as good.

of the breeder. To quote from an article pub¬ 
lished in England, in 1865 : 
“The British bulldog is a majestic, ancient 
animal, very scarce, much maligned, and as a 
rule very little understood. If treated with kind¬ 
ness, often noticed, and frequently with his 
master, he is a quiet and tractable dog; but if 
kept chained up and little noticed, he becomes 
less sociable and docile, and if excited and made 
savage, he is a most (fangerous animal. He is 
an excellent guard, an extraordinary water dog, 
and very valuable to cross with terriers, pointers, 
hounds, greyhounds, etc., to give them courage 
and enclurance. He is the boldest and most reso¬ 
lute of animals. The game cock is a courageous 
bird, but he will only attack his own species; 
but there is nothing a good bulldog will not 
attack, and ever brave and imappalled, with 
matchless courage, he will give up only with life 
itself.” 
The bulldog was first heard of in England in 
1631 when Prestwich Eaton from St. Sebastian 
wrote to George Willingham, in London, for a 
mastiff and two good bulldogs. There appears 
no further back record of the bulldog nor does 
there appear any authentic statistics of its pro¬ 
genitors, although it is generally conceded to 
have developed from the mastiff breed. The 
animal was bred for bull and bear baiting, and 
as the former atrocious amusement was popular 
as far back as 1209, it seems probable that some 
sort of bulldog existed at that time, though, un¬ 
doubtedly, an animal that would not be recog¬ 
nized as the bulldog of to-day. 
If we indulged in animal baiting to-day, we 
should use the Airedale or foxhound. The bull¬ 
dog has become essentially a home dog. He 
is easily fatigued and therefore shows no desire 
to wander from home. He has no hunting quali¬ 
ties, excepting possibly a playful willingness to 
hunt vermin around the house, as he was bred 
for brawn and not for brain ; he is not excep¬ 
tionally intelligent. His fondness for children is 
a prominent characteristic as is his ability to do 
one thing well, know only one master and die

for him if necessary. No dog in all history has 
been so abused as the bulldog. In 1835, when 
English Parliament put a stop to bull baiting, the 
Bill Sykes element took up the breed and allowed 
it to deteriorate through abuse into the vicious 
brute of the English slums. 
When the 1 ulldog began again to be bred for 
points, a number of fakirs tried to assist nature 
in producing an ugly face for the breed, lhat 
the nose might be turned well up and the upper 
jaw shortened, the “doctors” cut the middle and 
two side lip strings which connect the gum and 
upper lip, then a wooden block, hollowed to fit 
the bridge of the nose, was put on just in front 
of the eyes and struck a heavy blow with a 
mallet. This compressed the bone and cartilage 
and turned up the nose as desired. 
This was performed on puppies eight weeks 
old and was of course not condoned by the bull¬ 
dog fraternity, and is not practiced at all at the 
present time.

The Bulldog. 
Since the days of Bill Sykes, immortalized by 
Charles Dickens in Oliver Twist, the bulldog has 
had a reputation for being as ugly in disposition 
as he is unhandsome of face, and at the same 
time he has held the enviable reputation for 
willingness to bear all sorts of abuse from his 
master and never waver in his affection for, and 
his desire to, kiss the hand that smites him. 
Fortunately there are few Bill Sykes among 
dog owners to-day. The man who owns a good 
dog realizes the value of his possession and treats 
it accordingly. Unknowingly, it is the children 
that abuse the dog to-day, and it is seldom we 
hear of a dog biting a child, and when we do 
hear of such a case, it never is a bulldog that 
is guilty and not often is the offense committed 
by a thoroughbred of any kind. The disposi¬ 
tion of a bulldog is, like that of any other breed, 
entirely a matter of training. It can be made 
ugly or sweet-tempered according to the wish
