The Costly Jewels Worn by Dogs Which
Don't Appreciate the Honor.
She sailed like a saucy yacht before a
half gale into well-known uptown
jewelry store. She carried under her
arm a bunch of hair, which, being
placed upon the glass counter in front
Of shrinking, tjmid youth, showed
signs of life, and let out a spiteful yelp
that could only come from the throat OF
a disguised dog. After adjusting the
wrinkles in her face so that a fair-sized
scowl appeared, she turned right about
and looked the light-haired clerk square
in the face, while a CLEAN of spite and
anger shot from her steel-gray eyes.
Did not l tell YOU sir, to be extremely
careful about the size of the ring that
you measured for my little Zip? Look
at that, YOU double-dved villain, as
she pointed to a small inhamed spot
uron the dogs left leg. That's all
your work, and woe unto you, sir, if
my poor little treasure is kept awake
any more at night by your horrible stu
pdity. You are sure the ring was all
right and that my darling has probably
got the mango? Well, sir, that settles
your case. | was not going to make
any further complaint. Now I'm of
for headquarters, and she doubled up
her skirts, seized her "darlng' and
started double-quick for the main office.
In few moments she came out of the
office with the manager, and he walked
with her to her carriage. The wrinkles
were pushed aside, an ancient smile
family glmmered through her drug
store complexion and the oil of con
sentiment had been poured upon her
outraged feelings.
What was the trouble with your
customer" the manager was asked, as
he walked into the store. WAS she
one of the crank spccies?' well,
said the manager. If YOU call person
a crank who thinks more of a dog than
child. then she is one and the class
of which she is a fair specimen is by nc
means small. The whole trouble arose
from a mistake made in measuring her
dog : leg for bracelet. After the ami
NAL had worn it few times it became
tight and in removing it the skin was
Isl ghtly abradcd. Why do | say that
sLG Iilought more Oh her dog than hel
chlId? wei, my Judgment IS based
upon commercial transaction. she
came IN mere ABOUT two weeks ago with
one of the prcttest children | ever saw
and bought a ring for the little one 1t
cost $40, while She paid S2S for a
bracelet for that yelpng cur
