MADAME WU TAKING THE AIR

efforts of the diminutiye maid to hold
the pace make rare sport for the lady
in the chair
The gait Of the little Oriental lassie
has been admirably counterfeited by the
chorus maidens in the current musical
play. San Toy Her hair is black as
ebCny and as luStrous as ivory. She
wears it swathed over her ears in the
style of Cleo de Merode. but the fashion
IS as old as the Chinese Empire from
which source the Parisienne doubtless
derived this mode of hairtiressing The
maid wears no hcad-coveriug nor adorn-
ment in her hair. in which respect she
differs from her mistress who on these
morning excursions. usually affects coif-
fure of carnations.
Madame Wu's robes are always of the
costliest China silk. and even on an in
formal morning jaunt she is as gorge-
ously arrayed as If she were on her way
to the Presidents reception. With the
maid. however. it is different Though
she looks as fresh and pretty as flower
of the morning, she is plainly clad in a
black, baggy jacket which might be made
of cambric. while her loose trousers of
the same material are as devoid of shape
as a workman's oyeralis
As ii has already been suggested, the
distinction of class between mistress and
maid is most noticeatly apparent in the
disfernece in the size of the feet. Mad
ames seeming almost like an infants
when compared with the very practical
pedal extremities of hec maid
These morning outings usually lake up
an hour OF Madame Wu's day SSe loves

and the exerticns of the cooiie to accel-
crate its speed to a degree satisfactory

treated. They are nicely housed and we'll
fed with freshly cooked meat mixed with
bran, and unless reclaimed or otherwise
disposed of they are permitted the happi-
ness of an easy death in the gas tank.
What more could a tramp dog desire?
1t happens not infrequently that a
really valuable animal IS picked up by
Mr. Einstein's men and impounded. Dog
fanciers are frequently visitors to the
pound and often prize pup is to be had
for a very moderate fee. Society women
are occasional callers on the genial
master of the Pound, to whose Judgment
they defer in selecting a dog for adop-
tion. The best hound in the Chevy Chase
pack was bought at the pound by Mr.
The Washington times., 1902-04-13

John R. Mclean, who prizes his fiud very
highly. Money into the hundreds could
not buy the animal now; but year ago
anyone might have had him. for he was
only homeless waif on the city streets.
An Easy Death.
Those dogs that are absolutely WORTH
less are given Whit of charcoal gas and
in fifteen seconds they cease 20 live.
Having been asked if it did not sometimes
cause him sorrow to act as official exc
cutioner of the dogs. Mr.. Einstein made
a characteristic reply
Socially" said he, Il am fond OF dogs,
but in my official capacity l anu their
sworn enemy-that is. ii they don't abide
by the law"

~ NE of the picturesque incidents
OF the morning in the fashion
" able northwest tern part of the
city is Madame WI. the wife OF
the Chinese Minister, taking the air.
OFTEN she is rushed about in her autOmO-
bile. but as frequently she employs
rolling chair propelled by coolie ser
want from the legation.
When it pleases her to make use of
man power in her morning ride. the pic
ture is for all the world like painting
on a bit of lacquer bric-a-brac.
At about II o'clock every morning when
the sun shines and the air is mild Mad
anne WI appears in the doorway of the
pagoda-like residence of the Minister
from China. She leans heavily on the arm
of her Chinese maid because the feet of
this doll-like aristocrat from the Orient
are so small that TO walk on them is a
very difficult and fatiguing task. When
it is the rolling-chair in which Madame
WI is to be carried about the maid ten
derly lifts her mistress into it. whereupon
the man behind the chair bestirs himself
and Immediately the party is on its way.
1t is an interesting picture to see them
as they proceed out New Hampshire
Avenue. that being the direction in which
Madame usually prefers to go. The maid
accompanies her mistress on these out-
ings. but she goes afoot Thanks to her
lowly station. she enjoys the luxury OF
common sense feet, that she is not
compelled to combine with her pedestri-
anism certain skill in balancing.
Madame WI and her maid are like little
children in their enjoyment of the frolic

vance of the negroes, and Buck" Parker
was commanded to drive the dog into the

which the bulldog might escape This
outlet was held by "Lynx-eyed' Burrell.
Gradually the animal vas being driven
TO the roadway. while General Einstein
watched the development of his strategy
with keen appreciation. John missed the
dog In the roadway, and the desperate
animal tore for the lane, only to leap
into the outstretched net in the hands OF
Joe Burrell.
A Pretty Catch.
Coed" exclaimed General Einstein,
Immediately divestipg himself of his mill
tary aspect. That was as pretty catch
as | ever saw and well go back to the
pound now. boys" he continued carcss-
ingly, for he is fond and justly proud of
his men.
That ended the hunt for that day but an
opportunity had been afforded for verify
ing General Einstein's estimate of the
number of unlicensed dogs in the District.
He places it at 10 per cent of the total
number and from the observations of the
day it seems very reasonable. AS Gen
eral' Einstcin says it has taken him
twenty-nine years to reduce his enemies
TO this admirable condition.
Important to City's Health.
The impounding of stray animals
is an important element in conserv-
ing the health and welfare of
large city, but the accommodations
at the pound are meager. That
not at all from the stray animal evil is
due TO the long continued faithfulness of
Samuel Einstein and his assistants. Joe
Burrell, John Wells, Shirley Williams and
Cornelius Parker.
Samuel Einstein's Good Record.
Mr. Einstein's record of faithful service
dates from 1873. He is still young man
and eager to promote the welfare of
Washington, but he says that he must
have better pound If the city is to con-
tinue free from stray animals His
largest annual capture was in the year
1S99-1900. when. with three wagons he
impounded $3.50 dogs. One wagon does
the work now and Mr.. Einstein is apprc-
hensive lest the dog population will steal
a march on him and increase before he is
furnished with larger pound and more
weapons for successfully combating them.
At the pound the animals are well

I ridiculously small black and-tan that was

So absorbed was the black and tan in
the exchange of courtesies that he did not
notice the approach of the men with the
| nets.
The Attack
Watch him close, Buck" exclaimed
General" Einstein, in a stentorian stage
whisper, that drowned the clang of a
passing electric car.
Il got my eye on him, >" replied Buck >"
The men were at least fifty yards from
the dog, when the latter CHANGED to OBJ

tion the black and tan turned tail and
scooted across the street as If all the
powers Of darkness were at his heels.
Its no use said General Einstein,
in tones of disgust to the representative
of The Sunday Times; i've either got to
disguise John Wells or fire him.
Why" asked The Times reporter.

The Pursuit.
We were off in hot pursuit OF the black
and-tan. scurrylng through the Capitol
grounds as if he knew full well that his
life depended on speed alone. Those wiry
little legs Travelled faster than ever be-
fore. When we reached the brow of the
hill streak of black could just be seen
disappearing around the corner of New
Jersey Avenue.
The failure TO bag the dog caused Cen
eral Einstein to philosophize.
THE trouble is, said he, I'VE have
been chasing the stray dogs so long that
they recognize the dog catcherg as far as
they can see them. That black-and- tan
that just got away from us has seen the
net before and he knows John Wells
there so intimately that every time the
cur sees him he will run just as you
would run from the devil
First Catch OF the Day.
1t was not until We reached the south
eastern portion of the city that the men
made the first catch of The day. 1t was an
easy take, and the mongrel was dumped
into the wagon before he could utter
protest.
John and Joe were now on the alert. for
the failure TO net the black snd-tan and
the resulting look of reproof from Mr..
Einstein were still sOading their pride.
As we ratified through an alley, there
came within the focus OF the lynx-eye of
Joe, the watchful one, weather-worn
specimen of a dog who had not the laws
permission to exist being without collar
or tag.

John Wells was reaching for the pet with
his big net. The woman noticed the pro-

She jumped for the dog when John threw

Aristocratic Dogs.
As we journeyed through the fashion
able residence section all sorts of aris-
tocratic dogs were out taking an airing,
and they shifted disgustedly as the load
of vagrants passed them. 1t was in this
part of the town that "Lynx-eysd' Bur

wearing tag but not every dog on that
account escaped. Joe Burrell was on the

forthwith elapped into the wagon by deX-

Last Raid of the Day.
The last raid OF the day was made ip
an alley of the so-called "Foggy Bottom
district. Our approach was heralded with
shouts OF Here comes the dog catchers!'
Immediately negroes rushed from novels
and huts, and proceeded to chase their
dogs to cover. When the wagon reached
the middle of the alley it was surrounded
by a hundred negroes, who cursed the
catchers or jeered them in mocking tones.
