best of it.
George L. Hit, tie mutual agent,
owns a dog. That is, the dog OCCASION
ally cOndeScendS to recognize MIR. Hit
as his proprietor. This occurs at very
irregular intervals, and generally at
supper time. He is mild-eyed, light
complexioned, youthful dog, of the bull
persuasion. lie is not at all vicious,
but very easily led astray, and his given
name bestowed the day he was bap-
tlzed) is Turf" Turf has brought
much anxiety and misery into his
kind masters family by his way
wardness. His only fault, how
ever, is a chronic inclination to sudden
and prOtracted absence. Absence IN
fact seems to be Tufts mania. His
owner, frequently ewith fearful eyes,
would dwell lovingly on his good quail
ties-his gentSeness, his playfulneSs, his
voluptuous appetite, and his undoubted
affection for the jewellers in the house
OF Hit. And then the gentleman would
touchingly refer to long, black, we'll
worn memorandum book, upon the
drop, and every drop would blot out one
of the 1893 entries that read about as fol-
lows:
Reward for discovery. ................. - W
Advertising Observation-Disclosures. 90
New Collar. ........-......-.. .....' 70
Grooming. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 20
And meanwhile Turf would be two
miles from home, getting solid with an
other butchers dog.
There is going to be a well developed,
sensational suit for the coroner soon
on Central avenue, near the east chan
mel bridge. There are two hotels there,
and some of the boarders make it a
point to sit out on the sidewalk IN the
evening and pass remarks about the
ladies who are unfortunate enough to
go by. Ii the lady makes any preten-
sions to beauty, so much the worse for
her, as the lOaferS seem to delight in
annoying her. A dose of well directed
Sullivan punishment might work re-
form.
There are two people that feel just
alike" said the keeper of "baZaar''
on Washington avenue to GLOBE re-
porter, yesterday, as he pointed to two
young fellows just leaving his gen
was lad about eighteen years
old, carrying a small parcel
rather timidly in one hand, and flush
Ing as he met friend, and the other
was a man four years older, wheeling
brand new baby carriage. That little
fellow has just bought razor strop, in
tending to begin his first whisker har-
vest, aud the other has purchased per-
ambulatOr for his first venture IN the
parental business. They both stood and
looked suspiciously at the salesman be-
fore they made known their wants, and
got red in the face when they finally an
nounced it. I'll bet a ''V" that a
Psychological analysis of the feelings
of the two would give exactly similar
results.
Four dark-visaged sons of Italy, each
engaged in selling the Indispensable
suspender, had sort of reunion last
evening on Washington avenue nelr
Third. They began to quarrel over the
respective virtue of their wares and the
prices charged. and before one could
say Jack Robinson" they were
at it tooth and nail. Suspend
ers and Italian oaths were flying
prOmiScuOuSly in the air, and hadn't
some philosophical stranger stopped
the battle, there wouldn't have been
button left in the crowd, to button
suspender on.
