A WOMAN AND A DOG.
Tacoma Ledger.)

A very rich American woman has
been attracting some attention in
Paris by the attention she requires
for her dog The dog is no great
shakes, as dogs go, being a terrier of
some sort, with hair Of great length
and silkness. But he has had the IN.
fortune to fall into the possession of
silly woman who has more money
than sense. and is having a fairly
miserable time OF IT,
According to a correspondent of an
Eastern paper, a special room is en-.
gagged for this dog at one OF the most
fashionable hotels. A maid is paid TO
attend him. He wears a collar set with
Jewels. His meals are ordered with
special care from the same restaurant
whore his mistress feeds, and the
choicest daintles are always selected
for hlm--a portion OF woodcock OF
quail, or other high-priced Wand, and
II Is always served on a silver platter,

quence the poor brute's appetite 10
spoiled and he Is slokly cur, instead
of a happy healthy dog, as he might
be II he had some chance 10 live as
a dog should.
Some people will find fault with
this silly woman and say all manners
Of evil things about her no doubt;
for example, that she might do

money she thus spends so foollshly,
by relieving the distressed, or help.

could. But II she did this she would !

their lot because they are not as she

foolish extravaganza and disgusting

how TO get more out OF IT, Many rich
people seem to be distressed TO find
sufficiently foolish ways TO be rld of

BUTCHER USUALLY KNOWS.
Whenst Child Is Sent TO Market He
60. Gives It About What It Il
Sent After.

."What do you want" asked the
butcher in large market that had
suddenly become inundated with
small childPen just after schoOllet
out for the noon hour, relates the
New York Times.
Meat" was the lacOnic reply.
'.HOw.. much money y got"
asked the butcher.
The child Embossed a chubby fist
and disclosed u cents. "An'I
want an onion" she said.
The butcher took the IL cents,
sliced off two small veal outlets,
wrapped them up with an onion,
and 5, ut the child on it's hOmeward
way. In less than 10 minutes he
had waited upon u dozen or more
children in the same fashion.
1T is up to me to decide what
half the people in a block have for
dinner" he explained. at is not

dren come here day after day at
the same time, and l try not to
give them the same things twice
in succession. They belong to
mothers who are too busy to think
of dinner until ten minutes before
It is time to put it on the table.
Instead of coming around in the
mornings and getting their
moneys worth, these women wait
till the children come from school,
and then trust to us for what they
can get. Thrift is the last cOnsid.
GRAFTON. That little girl had just
money enough for two outlets and
an onion. If her mother had
wanted a steak she would have
given her more money. She wanted
something to cook in the frying
pan quick. More than half the
time the children forget what they
are told to ask for, and we just
guess what to give them from the
amount of money they have. We
take it all every time. If the kids
were sent home with any change
it would be taken away from them
by thieving boys. Mothers know
that by experience. They give the
children just the amount of cash
they have to spend, the butcher
does the rest"
