Real Hard Luck That Was Visited on
New York Man.

He had been down on his luck for
tome time, and a few days ago had ex
hausted his money, with the exception
Of a solitary nickel. In a newspaper
office where he went to look over the
Help Wanted" list he saw an adver.
iisement to the effect that a man liv'

fifth street, Harlem, wanted to pur-
chase a shaggy dog.
The Brooklyn unfortunate has a dog
which certainly comes under the desig-
nation of shaggy, having a trace of
the st. Bernard in his makeup. The
man had owned the dog for years. but
he had reached his limit, and in the
"ad he saw an opportunity to be
grasped.
Il guess it's up to you, old pal" he
said to the dog. You must go or your
boss don't eat. Come on"
Man and dog started for One Hun
bred and Twenty-ffth street. With
wonderful provision he decided to ave
the nickel for a return trip if neces-
sary and walked from his home to
Harlem. 1t was a long and tiresome
Trip. The dog was painting, and the
man had to stop every now and then
for rest, but finally he reached the
place designated. The man rang the
bell and inquired for the advertiser.
Dogs are not allowed in the house, so
the Brooklynite had to wait in the
hall, his heart beating hopefully and
the faithful dog looking up at him, as
Il wondering what was going to hap
pen. 1t may have been five minutes,
but it seemed an hour to the anxious
man before the advertiser stepped out
Of the elevator. The suspense was
soon over.
You're Mr.. So and So, who adyer-
tised for a shaggy dog?"
Yes
We'll, here's the dog"
"Tain't shaggy enough" And the
advertiser turned away.
Imagine the feelings Of that poor
Brooklynite. His last hope gone and
miles from home, with one nickel in
his pocket.-N. Y. Morning Telegraph.
