This has been a great week for the dogs.
Sometimes It is pictures, sometimes IL is
flowers, sometimes II is horses, but this
week it was dogs. Everybody goes to the
dog show. Now it Is not everybody who
likes dogs-our Mayor dOn't-yet he is fond
Of music, and Lady Gay Spanker says,
"What music like the yelping of the
hounds2' The lover of that sort of thing
could get all he wanted of it at Madison
Square Garden. Croesus and Midas touch ed
elbows with Job and Lazarus. Stable boys
and jocl1ies busted their jackets against
the silks, diamonds and furs Of the Fifth
avenue, while gamblers and thieves
wrestled with clergymen and bankers for
coigns of vantage to see the favorite dogs.
IL was a motley crowd and a wonderful
crowd, and as / elbowed my way thro ugh
the thron@ clutching my notebook in one
hand and valuable Waterbury watch in
the other, l could not help thinking that
about the only honest creatures there, EX-
CEPT MYSELF, were the dogs. Even the
humblest brute there had pedigree of
which he was proud. There was no ques-
tioa about the honesty of his father or his
mother, or of his grandfather or grand
mother, or of the legitimacy of his sisters,
his brothers, his cousins or his auntt.- 1t
was Royal Family, and there was its
history in letters of gold-a record of which
nodog need be ashamed. There were the
noble st. Bernards and magnificent New
! foundlauds. Settlers, with human eyes,
who seemed to understand every word of
your conversation. Scotch colles, with an
| intelligence almost human. Pointers, ter
riers and spaniels Of every degree: hounds
that could catch anything from a cotton
| tail rabbit to a grizzly. Then there were
the ladies' pets some with long silky fleece,
ard others with no more hair on their
backs than there is on the palm of pour
hand, "Oh, amt they sweetp was tile
general exclamation, but it was strained
metaphor; the reason, oh my nosel III
leaYe you 10 guess. As a show it was a
great success-the number of cogs being
unusually large and the quality much In
advance of any bench show New York has
seen before. When we take as much care
of our own pedigree and behavior as we dc
of these dogs, we will be much better than
we are, and we will need no Prohibition oi
Anti-Poverty Societies.
Speaking Of societies, Anti Poverty haC
an inning on Sunday night which nearly
led to a Tipperary ruction. The Rev.
Charles Patrick McCarty was pittet
against one Dennis Barney McCabe at tht
Harlem Division of the Anti-Poverty
Society. The McCartys and the McCabe'
have been knocking chips off each Others
shoulders and treading on the tails of eacl
other s coats ever since the battle of Clon
tart, when the McCabes ran away from thu
great Brien Boroo and the McCartys stucl
to to the old man till the battle was ended
The fight between Henry George and Doct
or McGlynn has resulted in two Anti
Poverty Societies, and before spring flower

question is already knotty one, as to VIII

but we may have to settle that interes tin
question with two ounce gloves accordin
