AN EDUCATED SMALL DOG.
Fond Of Coffee and Chocolates and
Takes Whisky When Ill.

AO1o e1S
Takes Whisky When Ill.
Dandy is a very small, plump little
canine, who resides uptown, and who
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 tipping 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 i'll. He
had taken dinner, with fresh pork as
the piece de resistance, and it did moi
agree with him. He gave evidence of
having a 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, land it really did him good.
had n dog die in the train when
l 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, l might
have saved him if 1 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 pets, and has
come now to consider them better COM
p%anions 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 a big basket, like a Gov
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
quite a traveller, but he has not COW
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 go
abroad again to cover the part of the
continent she has not seen yet, and
Dandy, in his basket, will go along.
He is a comfortable travelling compan-
ion, and no objections are ever made
to his presence on train OF boat, ow-
ing his mistress thinks, to his being
such a 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 Sc has Dandy, and, 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, his mistress says.
He takes a chocolate wafer at one
swallow, as he would a pill, and a big
| square chocolate he d!sposes of with
a bite or two. Miss Griffin was BORN
on Beach street, in New York. Her
father was Charles Alexander Griffin,
a lawyer, and her grandfather, George
Griffin, was a prominent member of
the New York bar.
