 NOT STANDTHE ODOR
PET TERRIER MIXES UP WITH MEPHiTis AMERlcANAs AND IS GIVEN WIDE BERTH BY HIS FRIENDS.

Chicago, September 6.-(Special.)-I An Esopus special to the Tribune says
 No callers came to Rosemount Sun day People came in carriages to look at the candidates home, but they drove by, not lingering. Truth to tell, Rose mount lid not smell up to it's name. The ex-judge took unusual pleasure in nls privilege oI smoking in the after noon. On Sunday he dimes at o'clock, and, as his cigar rule allows him to smoke after dinner, he was pulling hard at 3. But, puff as he would, food ing the veranda with the aroma of Ha- vanas, there was something in the air that would not down.
 Those who knew the reason say that in the candidates face there was an ex- pression indicative of a wish to kick certain bull terrier about half way across the Hudson river. That bull terrier was of course Teddy, of uncut ears. Teddy's nocturnal habits were the cause of 1t all. Last night when all was dark and still he began his regular moonlight prowl, searching for such luclxless cats as might have wandered from the village
 Teddy was coming back toward the house when he saw beast with beau- tiful black and white ostrich plumed tail arched across his back sinking along the lawn towards his summer house.
 A dozen bounds over the grass and he had 1t by the .nape of the neck Half as many shakes and the animal gave up the ghost-and something else, too. Teddy knew, but all too late that although in the dark all cats may be gray, all small animals in the dark are not domestieated cats.
 If Teddy had been a cultured gentleman he would have gone and buried himself, but he Is only selfish bull terrier, and he went to sleep on the veranda. The head of the house was the first of the household to be abroad this morning and as he stepped out of the door he remark ed change for the worse in the atmos- phere.
 A chance meeting with Teddy on his way back told him the whole bitter truth. Up went a quarantine flag against the terrier.
 When Secretary McCausland left the house to go to the telegraph office Teddy got sight of him at the lodge gate and started in pursuit He is accustomed to frolic with McCausland every morning. It was a mad race, but the secretary reached the lodge and barred the door just in time. Elected from the telegraph l office, Teddy got into a hammock at the gate and slept until MT. Parker returned from Kingston and learned that Teddy was still unregenerate. Teddy must have a bath.
 Two husky farm hands, holding their breath, carried his struggling form down to the river and tossed him in. Five times he swan ashore only to be flung back into the water. Then they let him stay ashore and fled as he shook him. | self
 But the sun dierd his hide, and the last state of the dog was several times worse than the first
 The family went into the house and locked the doors. Teddy scratched at them
 in vain but refused to go away. At last some one took bottle of cologne and gave 1t to the farm hands and bade them to do what they could with 1t. Teddy was seized and subjected to s24 wortt of perfume. It made his nose smart and he howled, but the improvement was great. Teddy is now the most strangely scented dog in captivity
