[corYRIGHr. 1902 !

In the world of polite society there
are assuredly dog days" One might
as we'll be out of the world as out of
the fashion of owning a dog. Murray
Hill has many childless homes, but few
that are doglcss-
With society's tendency to roam the
world over the dog must naturally keep
pace, and therein lies n difficulty. In
democratic America ''the people, are
somewhat lacking in respect toward
the canine aristocracy and .No dogs
allowed" is Il fiat in most of the public
conveyances. On the elevated roads and
in the horse cars and stages the rules
arc absolute. That, however, is a mat
ter of slight import. Dogs of high de-
gree have always a carriage to COM
mand. 1t is n poor dog indeed that
cannot hire cab.
To take dog to Europe is serious
affair. None of the Atlantic steamers
will accept one as passenger under any
consideration-the price of passage is
twenty-five dollars. That is but a
trifling item in the bill of expenses.
Passage engaged, the dog with his par
aphernalia is taken aboard ship and to
the statcroom. A steward at once ap-
pears and the following conversation
takes place:
Madam, that dog cannot stop in your
cabin; it is against the rules"
But. steward, he always remains
with me. We cross frequently Do YOU
not remember him''-this with a prom
Using smile.
''He cannot have crossed on this ship,
madam. Our rules are very strict Tho
chief steward would never allow him to
stop in the room"

That august parsonage arrives.
"Ah. madam, about your dog. He
must be taken forward. We never al
low them in the cabins
"Yes, steward, but do you always
know where they are? How can you,
if you do not see thcm?"
The stewards vision is not affected.
He sees sovereign that is placed be-
side the dog.
''lle is nice little fellow We'll.
madam, you might see the purser."
The purscr is an extremely suavc.
pleasant man. Il am indeed sorry,
madam, that l cannot allow YOU to
keep your dog, but we are obliged to be
very strict. The butcher always has
'charge of them. He is Il very kind man

procession is formed which accom-
panies the steward and the dog to the

The butcher sees-a sovercign-and
goes. So also does the dog-bacll to
the cabin. The matter is settled. The
butcher takes excellent care of the
wicker kennel, which is proof positive
to all inquiries that he has the dog.
Naturally all delicate little attentions
of the cal bin steward are suitably re-
warded. The stewardcss is also very
kind to the pet and must he remem-
bered. Upon landin. in Liverpool the
expense of the dogs passage has prob
ably reached ten pounds.
The people" in Europe are accus-
toned to rank" and do not object-if
it pays. If the destination is London,
Mt the railway station a ticket is pur
chased bearing the inscriptions:

A picture Of fox terrier adorns the

the hunting season dog coaches are at
tachcd to the trains, with kennels for
the hounds and livericd grooms to care
for them. The underground railway in
London issues dog tickets. The hotels
in England have dog rates. A very few
however, refuse to receive dog guests,
but III none of them will dog tip be
declined.
In Franco third class railway ticket
must be purchased Then the guard
strenuously objects to dog in first
class carriage-until he is convinced of
the error of his ways. A franc is usual
ly sufficient.
The dog ticket appears again on the
German railways, but the German con-
ductors have very rigid views concern
ing dog proprietics. The price of con-
traversion is the same as in France.
The regulations in Switzerland and
Italy require dogs to be registered as
baggage and placed in the baggage van.
A lire. however, possesses wonderful
persuasive powers.

Then came the Ellert League, 400 strong,

clerks, In whose hands the future CONNER

The procession started out Kearny to
Market street. followed by hundreds OF citi-
zens who joined In line.
Market street was packed with people
when the procession appeared. and as it
turned down toward Eddy the entire street
resounded with cheers. ''Ellert! Ellert 70

The demonstration was a recognition by
the people on the street that the men pass-

gence and integrity of the city's citizenship
and represented the grand principle of de-
cency in politics aud honest, unbought men

That was why they were cheered all along
the line
After the parade turned into Market
street 1t was Joined by the Harrison Club,
600 strong.
The club was in uniform and carried
torches, and was headed by a brass band.
There were many transparencies in the
line OF march, and all of them bore notices
favoring the Non Partisan ticket, like

When the Wigwam was reached the
parade could hardly wedge its way within
that vast auditorium.
By pushing and iostling the brass bands
managed to secure an entrance, and small
passageway was made for them.
The advent of the members OF the Nom

was the signal for a grand ovation, which
made the very rafters ring. Cheer after cheer
