you don't understand me, my good
fellow. Me colly is me dog, and I always

Very sorry. sir, but no dogs allowed in

why not, pray"
We'll, there are objections'and it's a
rule of the house"
But protest; what shall I do with

Chain him up in the baggage-room.
Are there other dogs there?"
"Oh, yes, but that makes no difference.
He'll be all right"
Twill he be fed2"
'I'll see that he is"
"All right, then; but, by Jove, it's an
imposition to separate a fellow from his
dog, you know"
This conversation was held over the
onyx slab of a down town hotel Office
The man who had such small regard for
the feelings of the colly was hotel clerk.
The other man belonged to a class which
is more largely represented in Chicago
just now than ever before.
This class of wealthy people has been
distinguished as doggy" 1t is also
'horsey," but it cannot lead its cobs into
hotels and have them chained up into the
baggage-roOm.
LIKE PoODLEs AS COMPANIONS.
The exposition has brought to the no.
tells good many people who believe that
ordinary love between human beings has
become the property of the lower classes.
That's why they lavish their affections
on water spaniels and poodles. Chicago
has known plenty of men who fancied

just becoming acquainted with the peo-
pie who prefer dogs as travelling compan-
ions. They want their pets to see the ex-
position Furthermore, each one expects
his animal to be treated with the same
consideration which is shown any other
guest.
For instance, they have at the Audit
Orium hotel a young Englishman who
brought his water spaniel with him all
the way from London. II costs him about
SO day to have the animal cared for
All that the spaniel eats is ordered from
the restaurant bill of fare. The man in
the baggage room gets an allowance for
looking after him. If the young English
man has time and tho weather is good he
takes the spaniel out for an airing each
day. If he does not wish to go he hires a
boy and gives him more instructions than
woman when she checks her baby at
the worlds fair. Late at night when the
Englishman comes back to the hotel,
bored and tired out by his experiences
with the most extraordinary American
people, he goes out in the baggage room,
sits on a trunk and has a nice long talk
with his companion
The large, rough men who handle bag
gage respect him for his devotion, and re-
tire from the room while tie affecting in
terview is on.
THE noes TOSTFJPY
5This baggage-room has become the
"doggery" since the worlds fair rush be-
gan. One man has been specially COM
missioned to look after the aristocratic
brutes and see that their pate de foie gras
is always served on q hot plate.
Last night there were a half dozen ca
nine visitors lodged in the baggage-room
The English spaniel was feeling lonely.
Once in awhile he mOaned because his
friend was absent and he had been
thrown in with lot of imitation English
dogs from New York. A big Newfound-
land lay comfortably curled up in a corner
trying to sleep. The spaniel kept him
awake by his means, and so the New
foundland lifted his head every few min
utes and gazed at the English creature
with an expression of calm disgust. On
| a soft cushion, so coiled up that no one
| could sort out his head from his tail, was
| a fleecy poodle. 1t was the propertyof an
elderly woman from Boston. The bag
gage-man made a joke about this one.
| He said he intended to steal him for a
friend of his who washed windows A
