THE TALK OF THE DAY.

An agent for large apartment house,
the owner OF which has nxed ideas as TO
rules for the government Of his property,
SAYS that he tas 10 turn down possible
tenants almost daily because OF the no
children, no pet animals and no birds"
rule. which has been promulgated by the
landlord TWO blocks from here" he
said. we have another and almost as
difficult a proposition. There the owner
is endeavoring 10 keep out musical instru-
ments when. on a warm night. l hear
from every room in the no dogs apart
ment house piano playing. both by hand
and by foot power. and talking machines
doing all kinds OF stunts. I sympathize with
the landlord who would stop the nuisance,
but I'm glad I'm not his agent"
Young Wife-But that's very expensive,
especially as it's in season. isn't II?
Greengrocer-Well madam, IL Is and II
isn't as you might say. What with the
French gardening and what not, the veg
eta bles that used TO be out OF season are In,
and them that is In is out, owing TO the
demand for the others-Punch.
FOLLOW CAREFULLY.
II YOU are making up your mind
For whom and what to vote,
Be very careful, or you'll find
You'll later lose your goat
For though a loser there must be
And hackers he must own,
He is the very man. you see,
For you to leave alone.
It's bad enough TO lose ones heart
But here is something worse;
To think you're on the music cart
And find you're on the hearse.

During his first curacy clergyman
found the ladies Of the parish entirely too

arose from their oyer-eagerness TO help

In addition to Its Official ''yaler dog
mascot. Bum, the old Mulberry street
police station has acquired another dog
known as Peg Post. He Is also OF an
ochre tint, and his mysterious behavior has
baffied tho wisest sleuths in the station.
When the men begin their tours on tho
stationary or peg" posts at 10 o'clock at
night. the dog comes trotting from some
where and takes up his station with which
ever policeman on duty In the precinct
| suits his fancy for that particular night
Frequently he changes from one post to
another and remains on watch until tho
stationary posts give way to regular patrol
at six in the morning. Then he trots away
and is not seen until the next night. Offers
OF tidbits from the mems lunches have
been repeatedly refused by Peg Post and
his agility has thus far prevented any one
from learning the number Of the dog
license he wears on his collar
