A Worshiper Of His Mistress and a Con-
noIsseur OF Piano Music
New York Commercial Advertiserl
Walking out one day a New York gentle
woman met bright little Scotch terrier
which at once ran to her, showing the most
genuine expressions Of delight Never
having seen the dog before, the lady was
surprised at his actions He followed her
during her walk and returned home with
her. The lady was at pains to find out who
owned the terrier and thu dog was sent
home; but 1t repeatedly followed her, so
that she finally sent out AMI bought
her four footed lover. When the dog
was admitted to the house he was frantic
with delight, and after his excess of feeling
had subsided would sit by his mistress gag.

During this time there had boon no
music. One morning. however, the lady
opened the piano and played and sang. the
dog manifesting has appreciation in the
most approved canine manner through
several songs "Una voce POGO ia" was then
sung, and shall never forget the frenzy Of
the dog. He behaved like n creature de-
mented, bowling so much that evolves was

and the dog had to be shut up
where he could not hear. He also
disliked "Vedrai Carino" ami would
bark most vociferously whenever lie heard

dog seemed to dislike was an Italian BARI
tone. one Of the lesser lights Of the Academy
Of Music and a fine accompanist. The
sight of this man would arous, all the dogs

Rosina's song was sung, when, to every

unfortunate animal was removed. He had
been shut in the lower part OF the house.

How the Nomadio Lapp Travels.

The reindeer Is to the Lapp what the dog
Is to the E'quimau. and in addition they
give him fool (meat, milk and cheese) and
clothes There are a few wild reindeer In
northern Europe, distinct from the tame
species in being larger. The total number
OF tame reindeer in the land Of the Lapp Is

cupied by people being used to store away
the family effects, etc. A very small
amount-about the weight OF man--is
usually carried in puik. so it Is easily seen
that as a msthod OF transportation IL Il u
very inferior one, and the most nomadic
Lapps have quite small supply Of effects,

cumstances. While on our trip we stop about
every three hours, unharness the reindeer,
il is turned out to feed on the moss for an
hour or So and the journey resumed.

OF their surface, leaving the long hair gro
tesqus In spots. In this case the canine face
Is denudsd, except at the jowhs and crown,
where whisksrs and hair are arranged to
give a semblance Of human head. The ef-

does not stop with that. or else chance alons

beings together, and the belief Is accepted
that the mistress Of them both takes that
odd way of amusing herself.
