MISS JENNIE CROKER.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. o.

money to own $4,000 worth of dogs
and then have $4,000 worth die
on you without even noticing the
loss?
Miss Jennie Crocker is the daugh-
ter of a San Francisco millionaire.
She has so much money she could
not spend it all if she tried. Miss
Crocker has taken up the fad Of
raising those snub nosed poodles
called a Boston Terrier. She had
all kinds, conditions and sizes. They
slept in a steam heated house and
took their midday siesta on velvet
cushion. Oh, they lived high, very
high.
But one sad day, a small poodle
"cashed in his checks" He was
soon joined by another small bow
WOW who departed this life. When

the kennels We're depleted and, &C
cording to dog fanciers' estimates,
over $4,000 worth of purps had
gone to dog heaven.
But that isn't all. Several days
later, just to be still in the lead,
Miss Croker imported a bow
legged, hungry-looking brute all the
way from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, using a special car for his
highness the pup. He arrived in
good shape and is expected to
