Dog Fight az Swell Reception,
BcMeerenf Fox Terriers Furnish Surprise for Guests o.
Washington Hostess-Lncident Turns Out to Be Re-
suit Of Canine Feud Of Long STANDING.

Two fox terriers and a maltese cat
were the principal actors in an excit-
ing scene which took place during a
recent afternoon reception at the
house of prominent Washington Of
fetal. 1t was 5 O'clock, and the light
shed by lamps and candles was artis-
tic to the point Of dimness, when
there sauntered in, with the noncha-
lance peculiar to the aristocratic
canine, a fox terrier of the wicked
variety. He made friends right and
left, the guests supposing him to be
the property of their hostess, and she
in turn questioning in her mind who
had the bad taste to bring dog to an
afternoon tea. 1t happened, too,
that, being lover of cats, she hated
dogs.
"Ah," the lady remarked with evil
dent effort, to one of her guests, cit
is your little dog?" and every one
could see she was nervous. But no
one claimed the dog, and at that
moment a second fox terrier rushed
in, carrying the light of battle in his
eye and barking madly. He was in
pursuit Of dog No. 1. 1t did not take
long to find him, and then there be-
gan such a chase, and such an ear
splitting din, and such a frantic race
over trailing gowns and patent leath-

holes he gets cricket, which, in the
fall, as the ground gets cold, burrows
under the grass roots. The fox digs
for crickets, too, but as he digs with
his paws the hole is somewhat differ

"a moonlight night with the wind

a stick from sapling about the size

meted out to his Christian subjects.
Two years ago he appointed members
of the Hebrew community to import
ant posts in the Turkish army, while
he attached two more to his personal
encourage. On another occasion his
majesty evinced lively interest on
behalf Of the same race whose good
repute was sullied by one of the blood
accusations periodically brought
against the Jews by the Christians of
the East, and caused the local au.
thorities to take steps to prove its
groundlessness, thereby earning the
thanks of the Anglo-Jewish associa-
ton.
Perhaps it is to this increasing
favor of the Jews in the eyes of the
Sultan, and the consequent fear of
opposition to Russia's designs in Pal
estine, that we must attribute step
lately taken by the Russian govern
ment. The Minister of Finance is
reported to have forbidden the sale
OF the Jewish Colonial Trust shares
in the Cars dominions, step which
has created great perturbation in the
camp of Polish Zionists, the most
deeply interested in the concern

A CHEERFUL EXPRESSION.

It Is Not Always So Much to Be De-
sired az It Might Be.

young thing as she dropped down be-
side the attractive widow.

ess and the guests of that afternoon
tea. A genuine dog fight was immi-
nent. To add to the excitement, a
pet maltese cat sprang from a Turk
ish corner and joined in the STAN
pede.
''Who brought those awful dogs
into my house?" shrieked the host
ess, lodging this way and that to res
cue her cat, but no one answered the
question, and the exciting chase went
on, over chairs and sofas, until the
butler managed to head off the trio
and eject them into the street. BY
that time more punch had been spill
ed over immaculate shirt fronts and
more scalding tea upset into the laps
of innocent matrons, and more for
eign invective uttered by the numer-
GUS embassy attaches present than
the hostess cares to recall.
1t was learned later that the dogs
belonged to the two families on
either side of the officials home, and
that there existed between them
feud Of long standing. The terriers
had escaped bondage at the hour
stated, and selected the scene of the
afternoon tea to settle old scores.
