FIRE DOG UNWELC0ME GUEST
Even Boarding Him One Day in tho Week Almost Gives Woman
 Nervous Prostration.

Ask any f1reman's wife what day in the week she dreads most, and the chances are she will tell you the day the fire station dog takes his meals at her house, says the Philadelphia Times.
 Not that we don't like the dog" one woman said, but because we have to be so careful about our cook ing. The men at the station where my husband works are afraid to bring Barney up on restaurant food. They think he will thrive better on good home cooking, so they take turns at entertaining him.
 "Wednesday is his day here. He comes for all three meals. It is a day of anxiety. If make things too rich Bob swears I'll give Barney indiges. ton. If they aren't rich enough he will not be sufficiently nourished. I don't mind cooking for Bob nor for any amount of company, my mother in-law included, but fixing things for Barney gets on my nerves"

DICKENS AS HE WAS IN 1889
interesting Description of Great Writer Published In the knicker-
 booker of That Year.

h person he is a little above the standard height, though not tall His figure is slight, without being meagre, and is well proportioned The face, that first object of physical interest, Is peculiar, though not remarkable An ample forehead is displayed under quantity of light hair, worn in q mass on one side rather jauntily and this 1s the only semblance of dandyism fn his appearance. His brow is marked, and his eye, though not large, is bright and expressive. The most regular feature is the nose, which may be called handsome; an epithet not applicable to his lips, which are too large. Taken altogether. the countenance, which is pale without sickliness, is in repose extremely agreeable and indicative of great re. finement and intelligence.
 MT. Dicken=' manners and converse. t1on, except perhaps in the perfect abandon among his familiars, have no exhibition of particular wit much less of humor. He is mild in the tones of his voice, and quiescent, evincing habitual attention to etiquette and the conventionalisms of polished circles. His society is much sought after, and, possibly to avoid the invitations press cd upon him, he does not reside in London, but with a lovely wife and two charming children occupies a re treat in the vicinity. He is about 26 years of age, but does not lock more than 23 or 24 Mir Dickens is en- tirely self-made, and rose from an humble station by virtue 0, his moral worth, his genius and his industry.- From the Knickerbocker, August, 1889.
