Boston Globe.
"Have you a silver dog collar" inquir-
ed fashionably- y-dressed lady as she en-
tered a Washington street store. She
bore in her arms a black-nosed pug dog
Of good proportions, which she deposit
ed carefully on the floor as though he
were in danger Of breaking.
"Would you like collar or harness?
Harnesses are very fashionable and they
cannot slip over the head as collars are
apt to do in the case of pug dogs. You
see that the neck is as la.ge around as
head, and it is almost impossible to keep
a collar on.
ooh, that is delightful" exclaimed the
young lady as the straps were adjusted
what is the price? Only S25? How
cheap"
The money was paid and girl and dog
went their way rejoicing.
"Do you have many such customers as
that" inquired reporter.
ave have them constantly" was the
reply. Frequently we sell collars for
dogs that are not Themselves worth half
the price as the collar. We have fifteen
hundred patterns of dog collars. but
even at that we frequently have custom.
ers Who are too fastidious to be suited
from the stock, and we have TO make
something to order. The other day a
lady came in and showed silver bangle
bracelet and wanted collar made for
her dog Just like it. There is no know
ing what woman will do when she
fairly gets the dog fever. Why, a wo-
man came in here the other day Juggling
dog in her arrs, and the animal had
around his neck collar of satin orna-
mented with violets and primroses, hand
painted. One woman has bought at
least 500 worth of collars within year
past. On the other hand sporting man
came in the other day with tine bird
dog, worth at least 81 900, but his collar
was not worth 81. II is the same princi-
pie as man carrying watch worth $500
with shoe string for chain. Collars are
no protection against dog thieves. They
rather increase the liability Of theft CO.
pecally when the collar 10 worth so and
the dog 20 csnts."

DROPPJNG CORN.

Pretty Phebe Lane and !,
In the soft May weather
Barefoot down the burrows went
Dropping corn together.
Side by side across the field.
Back and forth we buried;
All the golden grains we dropped
Soon the plowshare buried.
Bluebirds on the hedges sat,
Chirping low and billing;
why" thought I. mot follow suit.
II the maid Is willing?"
10 whispered, "Phebe, dear,
Kiss me" Keep on dropping!"
Called her father, from the plow-
There's no time for stopping"
The cord was loosed, the moment sped /;
The golden charm was broken;
Nevermore between us two
Word Of love was spoken.
What q little slip, sometimes.
All our hope releases!
How the merest breath of chance
Breaks our Joy I'm pieces!
Sorrows cup, though often drained.
Never lacks for filing,
And we can't get fortunes kiss
When the maid is willing!
