A Long Dog.

A lady living on Park avenue. Wal
nut bills, was recently presented with a
full blooded imported dachshund, liv-
ing exemplifcation Of the saying,
''Man wants but little here below, but
he wants that little long" This dog in
particular has all the fine points Of a
true dachshund. Its length is at least
four times its height, and Its legs are
stumpy and have the conventional crook
Of a golf stick at the foot. The lady
has several other dogs and is quite a
fancier Of CANNES. The other evening a
gentleman called who had heard great
deal Of the celebrated animal AS he
entered the darkened parlor a small
yellow dog of no particular breed arose
from a rug in front Of the CRATE and.
unnoticed by the gentleman, slowly
walked toward the door. The dog
crossed half way over the threshold and
stood in such position that person
in the parlor could just gee its hind
legs and tail. At that moment the maid
lighted the gas, and the dachshund
poked its head inquiringly through an
other open door. The gentleman gazed
in amazement at the head Of the dachs-
hund peering at him from one doorway
and the headquarters Of another dog
visible in the other doorway, and then
in the hearing of the servant calculated
t'Lord Almighty heard that this
dachshund Of hers was long one. but
this animal certainly beats my timer

Many quaint and some grotesque OBJ
servances of Good Friday have prevail
ed in various localities. In Brighton
the custom of skipping the rope on that
day led to the use of the term "Long
Rope day" Six or eight adults, with a
long rope, skipped at one time. In the
Sussex villages men and boys play mar
bles. At st. Bartholomew church,
London, 81 old women appear and be-
fore crowd of curious onlookers bend
their stiffened, aged knees to pick up 81
sixpences.
This latter custom had its origin be-
fore the great fire. when an eccentric
woman left her property to have 81
sixpences laid upon her gravestone in
st. Bartholomew church, which were
annually to be picked up by aged wild
ows.
At the Church of All Hallows the
youngest boys of the Blue Coat school
are enabled, by the will of Peter Sy-
monds. dated 1857, to divide so new
pennies and so packets of raisins among
them.
In London and all over England the
eating Of shot cross buns" Is the special
feature of the day. The original home
of this English custom is said to be in
Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.
There. wherever the old Roman roads
crossed, stood the altar of Diana Of the
Crossways. to whom the Romans offer
ed their sacred cakes.

Pools ON Murder Cases,

Bookmaking in murder cases is one
of the forms of gambling here. which
has opened new field to the men who
are willing to lay odds. The suggestion
smacks of the ridiculous, hut gaudily
dressed young man. with few ''notes'
in his left hand and $40 in money in
his right, appeared in the criminal
branch Of the supreme court here few
days ago. "Who's on trial2" he asked
an officer. Being told, he consulted his
notes and said:
Lets see Lawyer Blank; defense,
insanity; charge, murder. And then,
turning to the doorman again. "I'll bet
you 1 to 10 he's acquitted.
The court officer looked puzzled, but
was astounded when the gaudily dressed
informed him he was making "book. 3"
The court officer saw that he made
tracks, but not before over 5000 in bets
had been placed on the outcome Of the
case. An investigation showed that
there are large number Of these book
makers doing business around the New
York courts, and their profits are said
to be very large New York Letter In

This Dog Can spe1l.

There is South Side lady who owns
a Gordon setter which she believes is
endowed with almost human intelli-
gence. This is not hastily formed mol
unfounded opinion. but has been devel-
oped by years of experience. Here is
one of the many incidents from which
has sprung her faith in her dog:
Last Sunday, having finished her
dinner, the lady went into the drawing
room to read the paper. On a rug near
the window the setter was basking
drowsily in the sun. The lady's two
SONS were still in the dining room fin
ishing the repast. and the mother over
heard something said about bones
Now, the good lady has mortal dread
that her beautiful dog will choke to
death on bone some day. SO, raising
her voice, che called out:
boys, don't give Dan any chick
en- b-o-n-e-s, spelling these two words
80 the dogs attention would not be at
tracted. II am afraid he will choke. .
AS che spelled chicken the dog
raised his head and listened; at "bones"
he got up. walked into the dining room
and looked at the bones the boys were
picking. Chicago News.

architect looked at the house and smiled
in a provoking way.

The architect looked at the house
again and smiled once more, and the

passed it. Then he looked at the archi-
