Their Enforced Use flu Changed
Breed of London Dogs.
The muzzling order has now been so
long in operation that one is able to see
its practical results, at all events so far
as London is concerned, says the Lon
don News. They are really very remark
able, especially from a point of view not
likely to be immediately taken.
The supremacy of the fox terrior is
gone. One misses tne little, vivm wmte
spots that moved about so quickly and
made streets and thoroughfares gay,
and. it must be admitted, noisy. Most
of these dogs were mongrels, and, being1
of no appreciable value, and probably of
no clearly defined ownership, they
passed quickly in a wholesale way into
the lethal chambers. London is rid of
them, but at all our town the white
terrier with the odd markings is still in
the ascendant.
On the other hand, here in town we
have the Irish and the Scotch. These
are as yet pretty pure ; they keep rather
to themselves, after the manner of the
provincials, but in a couple of years
mongrelism will assert itself, and Lon
don will be overrun. Asiit is, the hardy
little Aberdeen, with his long body,
! PULLING A DOG'S TEETH.
Xen tilt's Experience ia Removing; Teeth
from a Canine. )
"I have never been called to pull a
dog'a teetjb. but once," volunteered a,
well-known dentist, report the Wash
ington Star. "Had I known for what
purpose I was needed I would not have
responded, but being on the ground I
was too nervy to refuse. The case was
that of a dog belonging to the wife of a
Michigan - senator. She had Bevetal
nice dogs of fancy breeds, aiid I noticed
that one of them acted strangely. Thri
telephone directory of that day had my
name well lip tin top in the list of
dentists, and I presume that is vhy I
was called. It ia no unusual thing for
dentists to be called to the houses of pa
tients who are aick Or otherwise unable
to go to the dentist, and I packed up
a few necessaries end started. I was
met at the door by the lady, who spoke
of the sufferings of Kliidge: I took it
that Madge was either a child or a
favored servant, and tripped as softly
as I eovil upstairs to the room to
which I was directed. I noticed there
were two or three little pug dogs in the
room, but did not dream that Madge
was one of them. In a few moments

Blr. Jones Had Been Unable to Bee Them
Daring a Long Search.
George Washington Jones, colored
gentleman, 'was ad, very sad. He was
a Caloiminer when he had work to do,
says Harper's Round. Table, but, a he
expresses it:
"Dem dere white trash, hab trone into
de trade, an' now Ise got no work to
do." But this was not what made him
sad. "Dis yere life," he said, "am not
wuth livin'."
"What's the matter, George?" in
quired his friend.
"Why, Ise got a little money on dat
last job, and Isi went round to settle
de bills Ise owed.
"Didn't you attend to it all right?'
"Dar's de strange part of it. ' Do
butcher he wuz out, an,' de crooev he
wuz out, en' every one Ise wanted to
pay wuz out, an' den wJiat'd I do but
lose dat money.
"Well, that was unlucky, end no mis
take: but still you showed your good
Intentions, aad no doubt they won't
press their claims."
"Press dere clalmsl Yah. dat's de
trouble. When Ise got 'omc fonnd

claims, an' as Ise couldn't fix dem, dey
done an' fixed me."
dog spoke sympathetically Of Madge's
sufferings. I was in for it, and in. a
short time had a towel tied in. Madge's
mouth, and the next thing Madge knew
she was three teeth short. I was asked
my fee, but as I had never performed
such a service for money I did not
know exuotly what to charge. I made
it three dollars and was paid. Since
then when I am called by telephone I
ask something about the work to be
done, for, Unless it is my own. dog, I
prefer to be excused from the work.'

Device of a Portland. Me.,
Evading the Prolilbltlon
Evervbod who vuiits Maine has a
different story to tell on his retua-a of
his experience in getting drinks, says
the New York Sun. The champion
story m, purhaps, told by a well-known
traveling salesman. lie says that when
he asked for a drink at a Portland hotel,
be was shown into a room, which ha'J
nothing in it but table, on whlrih were
a pitehiPT of water and several tumblers,
and a few chairs.
Over tha table was a chandelier, with
apparently half a dozen gas burners.
When the cocks were turned, however,
not gas, but liquor came out of the
burners, which were horizontal, on. tbe
Ops being niuscrewed. From one burner
oame whisky; from another, rum; from
another, gin. Each burners supply pipe
conrweted with a caik of some one of
these liquors in the room altove.
Tine man v. bo tell this story says that
five indictment papers ngninxt the bote
In question for selling liquor would fill
a buHlMil basket, but none of them will
ever lie brought to trial; at least, none
las been yet. Sine adopting this de-
yice, the hotel has evaded detection.
They Thought the Pretty Girl Who ttdaght
B Paper All Bight.
A young woman stood at the corner
of Hoisted street and Archer avenue
waiting for a downtown car. She had
a refined, sweet face, her brown hair
was parted over a smooth forehead, and
a pair of wonderfully expressive and
beautiful blue eyes. Her dress was ele
gant, but modest, and seeing her in
that locality one instantly thought of
sweet charity, says the Chicago Chron
icle.
Two ragged liitUe newsboys came up
to the corner and gazed at her in
frank admiration. Their look waa re
turned with one of kind interest, and
the girl bought a paper from each of
them. Just then her car came, and
with a smile she left the corner.
"Ain't ahe a beauty?" asked one of
the boys, while the other sang in a
clear, pretty voice: "She may flirt
with another, but I'm sure she loves
me."
A middle-aged motherly-looking
woman, who had watched the affair,
asked: "Do you mean me?" aa she
bought a paper, she could not afford
two. .
"Oh, no," answered the singer, "the

THE OLDEST SPORT..
THE BIGGEST CAT.
It b Thirty Inehae Long and Weighs
Twenty-roar I'oaads.
Just plain "Tom" is the unpretending
name of probably the greatest doaiesftlo
cat In the world.
Edward Simmons, a fUh and oyster
dealer of New York, la the proud pos-
wwtor of "Tom." This giant of cats
Sm 30 inches in length, from his hrwl to
the Up of his tail. He is a foot high
awl weighed lost spring 24 pounds.
Tbe recent hot weather bus caused hint
to drop a few mn!e of flesh, but has
not Impaired his health or hap nine.
Thomas is black and white, and is
rather iieeuliarly marked. He ho two
complete rings of white around his tail,
which makes him look like first cowiu
to a r swoon.
Mr. Simmons picked up the eat two
years ago while walking along Kmith
strrwt. Thomas was but a stray si ilea
then, so that his pedigree bss never
been aw-ertainrd, and It ia not known
whether or wit heredity has bad any
Uiibf io do with hi enormous alia.
Banting sad Fishing Were Maans of Llva-
Uhood to Primitive Man.
Somebody has asked which la the
oldest sport and started a discussion
tbat lias already put the antiquity of
gw;i beyond the middle ages. Hunt
ing and fighting were primitive man s
5 hie occupations, says the rew xork
ournal.
These, as civilization developed, were
gradually converted from being means
of livelihood into pastimes. Hut It Is
impossible to tell exactly when the
change took jjlooe, for It Is not even yet
complete, aud what is sport to the
squire arid amateur Is necessary work
to the gamekeeper and professional
soldier.
Nlinrod, NonJi's greatrgrandson, was
a "mighty hunter before the Lord,"sfld
aa he was a "mfgfety one la the earth"
he probably hunted for pleasure, Tbil
is the ollft record of a simrt.
The stag and its kind, which make
the greatest demand on tbe skill and
endurance of tbe hunter, would prob
sbly tie the first animal pursued for
pleasure. To hunt the lion was kingly
sport from the earliest time.
The Egyptian monuments sltow that
all kinds of bunting, aa well a fowling,
were followed for pleaaurs. Ths Olym
pic game were probably tha oldest
sthle tio srorta and their origin Is lost
In antiquity. They are said to celebrate
Jupiter's defeat of the Titans.
It Is told of one ot our local populist
politicians, wbo has a bob pipe, and sn
