A pEMoRAAlzEp GOAT.
When It Began Dancing. MRS. Dolan Knew
What the Trouble Was.

When It Began Dancing, Mrs. Dolan KneT
What the Trouble Was.
There had been an expression like that
of jocund June on the face of Mr.. Dolan's
goat until the afternoon when Mickey
Dolan was seized with an idea. A genius
for mischief and talent for mechanics
enabled hira 70 develop in the goat re-
sources for his own diversion and the con-
sternation Of his parents such as he had
never before suspected
Mr.. Dolan was enjoying his pipe on the
front steps.
'Bedalia, - he said to his wife, cit do be a
scandalous ting the way they does be goin
an down town these days, judgin be the
pictures on the billboords. Thot's thrue
worrud. An the natural way they make
those same pictures is a caution. The top

to make ye fale thot there's no such ting

shtep, Regardless av the fact thot Oh niver
paid clint at the ticket Office Oh niver
wanted thot biilboord there. It's no good
company, wild its thrioks an jiggamarees
During these observations Mickey had
been patiently sitting on a bOwlder in the
lot watching the goat. He had reasons.
About an hour before he had taken heavy
spring which he got from some cast of
upholstery, compressed it and tied it with
cord. By wrapping it with cabbage leaves
he had induced the animal to swallow it.
He had no desire to hurt the goat. On the
contrary, he had observed a rather sluggish
tendency in the animal and thought it
needed a tonic.
At last he was rewarded The goat
jumped several feet into the air and exc
outed a series of intricate and agile evoiu-
tions. He jumped sometimes on two legs,
sometimes on three and occasionally pirou-
cited on only one. In great alarm Mr.. and
Mrs. Dolan ran to the cherished protege Of
the household. They could only allow it
to continue its Capers. Striding over to
the billboard, Mrs Dolan shook her finger
at it and exclaimed:
''WeIl hov the law on 'em, thot's phwat

TIE SEWING ROOM.


Every Housekseper should insist UpOa
Having One Arranged.
Have you a room which you keep es@
pecially for sewing2 If You have not,
I would advise you to arrange for ons
without delay, forit can be obtained at
very trihing cost, while the eounfort9
it affords cannot be reclzoned.
A large room is not needed for this
purpose, and, In fact, a small one is
more desirables for in it all the appli-
ances of work can be kept more easily
at hand. Care should be taken, how
ever, that the light is not obstructed by
window hangings, and shades, arranged
50 that they can be raised to the fulk
height of the window. are all the cur
tains necessary.
A low chair is best to sew in, and if
it be a rocker, so much the better, 7yhile
some people use their piazza chairs
for this purpose during the winter
months.
To hold up the arms while cutting,
even for a short time, is extremely
fatigudng, and for this reason the CUT
ting table should be low, and should
also be on casters, so that it can he
moved at will

marked off in inches. like a tape meas
ure, and can be folded up and put away
when the cutting is over.
Besides the sewing machine, the room
should contain a scrap basket, a rag
bag, g pattern bag, a chest Of drawers.
which can be made from an old bureau.
and two or three footstools.
A small covered board, for pressing
is, of course, a. necessity in this room.
while a flatiINon, an iron holder, and from
rest should accompany the board, and it,
is well to have an oil or gas stove in the
room, so that the iron can be heated
without frequent trips to the kitchens
OF course, if you have.a old discard
ed extension table, it viii be found a
valuable addition to the sewing groom
especially when cutting out large gar
ments, because for this purpose you reS
quire a table at 1east three feet in width-
and ave feet or more in length.
If you ind it necessary to employ a
seamstress, to help out with the fam-
lily sewing, she viii fully appreciate this
secluded nook, while as for busy ''mam-
ma" when she has a bit OF important
sewing which must be done, and she
wishes to be free from domestic caresl

thing of the kind ever attempted in this
country before. Nothing in the line Of
household pets is to be barred, from
mice to elephants.
Perhaps the managers Of this exhibi-
ton are fully aware of the task which
they have undertaken when they agree
to show under one roof all the various
animals that the people of a great CITY
cherish as household companions. If
they are, then they have prepared to
take care Of almost every member Of the
animal kingdom, for there is no ac-
counting for tastes in the matter of pets.
just what is the average Of people ad-
dicted to the pet habit it would be hard
to guess, but we all know that in a
great majority of homes there is an ami
NAL pet Of some kind.
Every pet owner, too, imagines that
his pet is the most remarkable Of the
species. How often have you heard a
man begin a story with, Nov, sup
pose that dog Of mine is one Of the most
intelligent brutes that ever lived?'' He
really believes it, too, and the surest
way to win the friendship of an &C
quaintance is to tell him that you be-
lieve it also.
1t is the weakness of pet owners for
Showing off, their dumb prodigies
that the managers of the pet show are
to take advantage of. If human nature
in Chicago is not different from that in
other places, the exhibition ought to be a
huge success. Every exhibitor will be
sure to go and drag as many of his
friends along as possible. The spectators
will be rewarded for the animal prides
of thousands of domestic oircles-pets
whose cunning ways, great beauty and
marvellous intelligence have previously
been obscured by the privacy of their
existence-will for the first time shine
in the light of publicity.
Another popular feature about this
pet show is that it is to be a most DEM
ocratic exhibition. Not only the pam
pered pets Of the rich. but the hoi pol
loi of petdom Will be admitted. The
naughty South Slider who sends the foot
man to look after the wants of his Great
Dane will have no better chance to get
a prize than the humble West Slider who
enters a bull pup Of uncertain anteced-
ents.
OF course the dog exhibit viii be the
largest. There will be prizes offered for
the best in the following classes: Mas

WHO SAID NICE

It is hardly expected that Miss Helen
Gould will consent to enter her only pet,
q dwarf donkey, but there is a fashion
able young woman prominent in the ex-
elusive North Side circles of Chicago
who has a similar pet and is going to
send him to the exhibition. Hers is a
black donkey with a white face, and one
Of his ears is usually decorated with a
huge bow of ribbon.
A large mum Der Of monkeys, marmO-
Gets, squirrels, guinea pigs and even
stranger animals will be entered. One
ChicaQoan who is the proud possessor Of
two tame alligators has signihed his in
tention of lending variety to the benches
If DR.. Eugene Texeria Of New York
could be induced to send the strange
household pets with which his children
emuse them selves. a genuine sensation
would be caused. DR.. Texeria is a Bra
lillian, and when he moved from his
tropical home to the eastern metropolis
his three children insisted that their pets
must be brought along too. So they
were. The pets consist Of a patriarchal
alligator about 1 b feet long, a big cobra
who has been made harmless by having
his fangs extracted q peccary, a big tur-
tie, two monkeys, a pOrcupine and
cOckatoO. All these animals live in com
parative friendship in his city residence,
and, although the monkey and cockatoo
as well as the crocodile and the turtle
have their occasional differences. they
are all fond Of the children and roam
through the house at large.
While no enc Chicagoan is expected
to produce such a variety of household
pets, it will not be strange if different
individuals are found who will supply
the com bination. OF course it will be
impossible to make as many classes as
there are different exhibits, so there viii
be q miscellaneous division in which all
the unelassified entries will be exhibit
ed. This part Of the show will be almost
as interesting as the animal tent IN the
circus. There will be none of the same
ness of a dog show, horse show or a
cat show, and all lovers Of animals will
be able to appreciate the exhibits.
As this is the first show of the kind
ever given, it will be watched with in
terest in other cities. The Panorama
building viii, for the time being, be
turned into a sort of Noah's ark. The
parrots viii screech, the dogs bark. the
donkeys bray, and all Chicago, especially
the young people, viii turn out to see
the strange collection.

NICODEMUs.
This animal is valued at $1,000 and IS
not for sale.


This eau ed more of a sensation than
ever, and finally an enthusiastic cat
fancier offered So, 500 for NicOdemus,
having heard that a rival bidder had
run the price up to 50, 600. Then the
man who entered Nicodemus explained
that Nicodemus had no pedigree to
speak of and that he had bought him
from a street gamin for 10 cents. This
statement was at first disbelieved, and
it was not until the exhibitor of Nico-
demus had written to the newspapers,
telling the whole story Of the joke and

One of the most distinguished felines
in Chicago is Tootsie, who is owned by
Miss Frances E. Willard, the famous
president of the ". G. T. U. Tootsie is
said to be the finest white Angora cat
in the world, and Miss Willard has been
offered as much as $500 for her. but has
refused to part with her for any money.
Another Chicago woman who may be
depended upon to make several entries
in the cat class is Mrs. Clinton A.
Locke, who raises and sells cats. She
does not do it for profit although her
receipts are sometimes large. but she
devotes the proceeds of all sales to CHAR
ity and pursues the business for the love
of it. Mrs Locke is very proud of her
skill as a breeder of cats and is careful
that each one sold by her goes to a good
home.
There will be freak cats, too, pussies
with six toes and even one with five
legs. One man who lives in Oak Park,
Ills, is going to send in a box together
his tortoise shell cat and an old gray
rat, which is the cats playfellow and
constant companion. Prizes of silver
cups and blue ribbons will be awarded
in the cat classes.
Among the various dogs which are to
be exhibited viii be the venerable Go
loche, said to be the oldest canine in the
world. Goloche was brought from Rus
sia in 1877. He was years old at that
time, so now he has reached the respect
able age of %. Goloche is now owned
by Dr.. Buckingh ham Smith of New Y ork,
who, it is expected, will be persuaded
to send him to Chicago for the show.
