Fashions In Dogs.

The fashion in dogs, says sport
ing magazine, has always been as
changeable as the fashions in wom-
ems dress-which Is saying great
deal for the Instability OF mans
canine tastes. The craze for some
thing new has displaced all the old
time pets which found favor with
both doggy men and women, and the
novelties" have one by one shared
the same fate. II you glance through
the catalog of dog show at the pres
ent time you will find that most Of
the animals are foreigners, more re-
markable for their physical oddities
than either beauty, intelligence or
usefulness. Pet dogs are like orchids,
as regards fancy prices paid for rare
specimens, and these highly priced
pets, which today cost $500, will pres
emily be selling at So apiece. The
supply for these fashionable dogs soon
exceeds the demand, and then comes
the inevitable slump" / am led into
these remarks by hearing lady de-
plore the fall In Pekinese toy spaniels.
She gave $3.50. she says, for a pair,
and now they would not realize more
than $25. Courtesy forbids my max
ing any comment upon this result.

Few Chances in China.

Several years ago the American con.
suls in China cautioned young men
and women in the United States
against going there with the hope of
securing clerical or stenographic en-
ployment. Inquiries are again being
received as to such openings and it Is
well to repeat the caution.
The custom of foreign firms here
is to fill all important and we'll paid
positions with persons whom they
bring out under contract, so that a
person arriving without such docu.
ment stands little chance Of securing
positions that pay living wages. Minor
situations are filed by clerks. stenog-
raphers and typists who live in Shang-
hal at salaries ranging from $25 to
SIS United States currency month.
The cost of living here is not less than
in the United States and the eli
mate is not uniformly suitable to
foreigners.

WAS REAL TO CH!LD'S EYES
Life-Slzed Model of Dog Brought Joy
Into Life of Little New
Yorker.

In front OF shop on Fifth avenue.
New York, there stands for purposes
of advertisement life-sized model of
a little dog. TO adult eyes it bears but
slight resemblance to q living bow
WOW, but to the little girl who caught
sight of II one day this week for the
first time it was creature of life and
real personality.
Regardless of white corduroy coat
and dusty pavement, she dropped on
her knees beside the dog and gazed
in rapture. After breathless moment
she put out her hand timidly, then
drew 1t back and looked up at her
mother.
"Will he bite?" she queried. Then,
as her mother shook her head, she
stretched out both hands an patted
the dogs head. He didn't move, and
she went on petting him, blissfully.
Then she put her chubby arms about
him, and gave him joyous little-girl
hug, and. Strengthening her small cord
uroy-coated person once more, she
blithely stroked the dogs right ear.
Use got to CO." she murmured
'muvver says. But Use comm back.
She looked up at her mother hap
pity. Not once did it occur to her to
doubt the models reality.
Hes so fweet," she gurgled. u

any dOggie l ever did see."

ADDED COLOR TO THE SCENE
Amusing Incident Occurred When Dog
Began Barking in Critical
Act of Play.

An amusing story is told in the
Neue Poster Journal OF the recent pro-
duetion in Budapest by Prof. Max
Reinhardt of the tragedy king Oedi.
pus."
At the most thrilling point Of the
play, when the king is discovered sit
ting alone in the plague stricken city,
a dog suddenly began barking furious
ly at the back of the stage. 1t was
an animal trainers Great Dane, which
was bowling at the moon from a shed
adjoining the back of the theater.
Reinhardt fumed and ragged at this
interruption at the critical moment,
sent messages to the stage manager
and finally went himself to stop the
row. There was much running to
and fro, but the barking didn't stop
until sceneshifter had a bright no
ton. He got large plate of scraps
and fed the dog slowly until the cur
tain went down.
The next day the papers printed en-
thusiastic accounts Of the really bril-
liant bit of stage management. the
fearsome bowling of the ownerless
dogs in the deserted city! Reinhardt
put down his paper with whimsical
smile and sent for the stage manager.
"Give the sceneshifter an extra tip"
he said, "but tell him to make that
confounded dog howl like mad to-
night"

Ito Was the Most Remarkable States
man the Kingdom Produced In
Many Years.

"The late Marquis Ito, the grand
old man. of Japan. was the most re-
markable Japanese / ever saw" said
Horace G. Dunbar OF Alabama, for
many years proprietor Of the Gibson
House In Cincinnati. and later of a
hotel In Seattle. at the Willard.
when l was In Seattle too was q
guest at my hotel. It was In 1902.
If am not wrong In my memory. He
had come from Japan as the special
envoy of the japanese government,
and the japanese residents of the Pa.
cific Coast outdid themselves In an
effort to pay homage to their nations
representative. When Ito arrived at
the hotel, the Japanese had strewn
flowers from the entrance up to his
room, and he literally walked on a bed
of roses. But Ito did not pay much
attention to the homage paid him by
his countrymen. He stopped to order
from me a case of wine and box of
the best cigars, and hardly had he ar
rived in his room when he requested
that the order be duplicated. He did
not want them for himself. for Ito did
not drink. He was preparing for his
visitors.
This act Of Ito's proved to me what
I had often heard before, that the
Japanese abroad are the most hospi-
table people in the world. Ito was a
wonderful man. He reminded me in
face and figure of the virtuoso Du
Pachman, who was celebrated some
years ago. He was slight Of figure,
but his face was grave and strong. l
spent number Of years in Japan and
know something of the great men of
that country. but in my opinion Ito
was the most remarkable statesman
the Flowery Kingdom has produced In
many years. 1t was a severe loss to
Japan when Ito was assassinated In
Corea.

shrewd people, but l prefer the Chi
nese A Chinaman would go broke
