DAN HARTs "oLD WALLER"
"Old Yaller" is dead, and the veteran
minstrel, Dan Hart, is almost broken
hearted. 'Old Yaller" was only dog, but
| it had been Hart's constant companion for
many years. 1t was known on the variety
! and minstrel stage from Maine to the Rio
Grande. Hart found the animal in the
street in st. Louis seventeen years ago, and
made pet of it. He was in hospital in
this city week or two ago, when he
| learned of the death of his companion.
and he took it so much to heart that his
grief caused a good deal of comment among
| the attendants.
"Yaller was the first dog in the world to
sing" said Hart, in talking about his pet.
| "When sang she would make sounds on
the same pitch as my voice, and would
follow it all through an air. She was very
| fond Of good music, but when she struck .
| bad orchestra her displeasure was 50 pro-
nounced that nothing short of pretended
anger on my part would induce her to
sing, She would stop on the street to
listen to good player on the piano, but a
bad performer would send her scampering
! away. Galler was fine equilibriSt, and
she could do her turn in a reel, too"
Harris canine friend was immortalized
/ l. L. II
variety theaters have heard him sing
"The Yaller Dorgs Best Friend is Mig
ger" a song which Hart says suggested
itself to him some years ago when the
| death of a member of his family and the
failure of bank in which his savings
were deposited had left him in a very for
lorn frame of mind.
