A New Kind of Dog.

A wild looking man who resembled one
who had wrestled with misfortune in a catch
aS-catch-can hold and been thrown in the
contest, went into Woodward avenue bird
store the other day and approached the afPa-
BILE proprietor.
"Look here" he said may 1 take you
apart for a moment?'
Certainly" replied the man of animals,
eff you can put me together again"
"Weu, here's a letter from my wife-say,
come cut and have somethingg'
They went and had something; when they
came back the Withholding man resumed the
letter. ''She writes me" he continued, ''to
get her white canvas-back dog in cross"
''Now you go,n said the man severely
Business is business, and I've no time to fool
away"
He sat down on the curbstone to rest. He
was still reading the letter when a sympa-
thetic lady stopped to look at him.
"Poor man, are you ill'" she asked kindly.
Heaven bless you, madam, cad that
letter. If you can and will, 1 en- a saved
man"
The lady took the letter as if she were
humoring the within of a Iunatic, and ran it
over

"Your wife, who seems to be an excellent
woman, wishes you to buy her a white dog
in cross-stitch, stamped on a canvas splasher,
with crewels to finish it and send by express

that isn't plain enough"
THANK you, ma'am. I'll never forget your
kindness Where did you say the cross

A Pen Picture of the Venerable Writer
An Active Old Man.
Washington Cor New York World


An Active Old Man.
Washington Cor. New York World
Bancroft, the historian, is one of the most
noticeable figures in Washington society.
The remarkable preservation of his vigor at
the advanced age Of "a years, Is what makes
him the most interesting. He is not the
most charming conversationalist in the
world. He fairly roars as he talks. He aP-
pears always as if he We're addressing some
one a dozen yards away. He shouts several
sentences at a friend in this high key and
then without waiting or listening to anyone
else he moves to address someone else. He
calls as much as the most active society
young man He darts in and out Of the
leading houses of the town with a light skip
that is almost offensive III its exuberant
agility. This veteran still has a slim, erect
figure. His legs are straight. There is no
weakness there He holds himself together
with all that goes to make good military
set-up. He is especially agile in the pres
ence of ladies, and under the inspiring glance
of lovely society bud, the veteran curvets,
SHES and skips with the lightsome grace of
some of the thoroughbreds he has been so
fond of riding in the past.
This is picture of him as 1 saw him the
other day: He sat in a low, easy pony
phaeton drawn by stout black horse, wear
ing a plain, unornamented harness. just
colored groom, who held the reins over the
historians left shoulder The old man wore
a dark-blue untrimmed Prussian officers
cap pulled well down upon his cleaning
eyes, looking out through a huge pair Of
round, heavily gOld-mounted glasses resting
upon a real hawk nose. A snowy-whits,
silky mustache and beard brought out his
fresh color and stood out in strong contrast
with the dull black of his heavy pilot-cloth
overcoat, while about his legs was an afghan
of red, black, and yellow worsteds. 1t was
a warm, sunny day. His horse logged along
with steady gait, while the veteran roared
a soliloquy at his servant about his calling
places. The man leaned forward deterrent
tally and superintendent the calling list.
When he said stop the veteran would throw
aside his afghan and skip up the steps, seem
ing TO restrain himself by an effort from
turning handspring on his way.
Mr.. Bancroft lives very regular life, and
as he has always taken a great deal Of out
door exercise, it is not hard TO account for
his long life. He has never burdened him
self with work. He has been all his long
life writing history that could have been
written in ten years with moderate labor.
One page of manuscript a day of go words
be regards as good days work. Mr.. Blaine,
of his life, regards 1000 words day as all
any man can be expected to do well for
period of protracted work Think of this,
