Fond of Coffee and Chocolates and
Takes Whisky When Ill.
Dandy is very small, plump little
canine, who resides uptown, and VINO
will go down into history as an animal
with very human tastes, says the New
York Times. He is fond of chocolates,
takes coffee every morning and has
been known to take whisky. That,
however, is not intended to imply that
Dandy is given to tippling or looks
with pleasure upon the wine when it
is red upon ordinary occasions. Per-
ish the thought! Dandy's excellent
complexion, bright eyes and general
activity and interest i'll the world at
large would give the lie to such a
thought
Dandy is a tiny black and tan ter
rier Of the variety usually known as
the "toy dog" He resides with a
member Of an old New York family,
Miss Griffin, on Twelfth street, when
he is not travelling with his mistress
and he has never been known to take
whisky but once in the five years Of
his life. That was the only time in
his existence that he was ever ill., He
had taken dinner, with fresh pork as
the piece de resistance, and it did not
agree with him. He gave evidence Of
having very human pain in his small
interior and his mistress gave him
the only thing she knew that
might relieve him-a little whisky.
He semed to like it," said Miss
Griffin, "and it really did him good.
had one dog die in the train when
was coming from San Francisco. He
was twelve years old and the doctor
said the motion of the train affected
his heart. l think, though, | might
have saved him if I had had a little
whisky"
Miss Griffin is noted for her pets
She is one Of the last of her family,
has always been fond of pes, and has
come now to consider them better com
panions than human beings. She has
a nice little terra-cotta >colored German
SQUIRREL chipmunks, gold fish, and
turtles, as well as little Dandy, her
favorite pet For a Christmas pres
ent Dandy had big basket, like cov-
cred market basket, with red flannel
for a mattress, which serves him at
present for a bed, and later will be
his travelling carriage Dandy has been
q p h1If 1,n hoe
cred as much territory as his mistress,
who has travelled all over this part
Of the world and through a great part
of Europe. In 1900 she expects to 60
abroad again to cover the part of the
continent she has not seen yet, and
Dandy, in his basket, will go along.
He is comfortable travelling compan
ion, and no obje ctions are ever made
to his presence on train or boat, oW-
ing his mistress thinks, to his being
such little fellow. His greatest mis-
fortune, and that of his mistress as
we'll, is in being stolen and then
brought back when a sufficient reward
is offered. Dandy takes his meals very
much as his mistress takes hers. In
the morning she has oatmeal and milk
and so has Dandy, ard, as she has
coffee, Dandy also has a little coffee
poured into his milk For dinner at
noon he has meat, and at night he
takes milk again. Chocolates he takes
at all times of the day, and they do
not hurt him at all, ais mistress says.
He takes a chocolate wafer at one
swallow, as he would pill, and big
square chocolate he d;sposes Of with
bite or two. Miss Griffin was born
on Beach street, in New York. Her
father was Charles Alexander Griffin,
lawyer, and her grandfather, George
Griffin, was a prominent member OF
the New York bar.
