He Can't Understand Why
One Dog Is Worth $780,
900 and Another Just as
Ugly Is Worth On ly
Thirty Cents, but the
Experts Seem to knoW.

A little yellow mutt" from Third
avenue went over to see the toy spaniel
show in the Waldorf-Astoria to-day.
Tho yellow mutt" tucked what was
left Of his SCARED tail we'll between his
legs and scooted through Peacock Aney
and into an elevator, whioh let him out
on the second floor. where the Toy
Spaniel Club OF America Is holding its
tenth annual show.
The long rows OF wire cages. with
their soft, red cushions. and the throng
OF gayly gownsd. bejewelled women
fussing beside the homes Of little silky
haired. pop.eyed Japanese spaniels,
Pekingese. PomerAnians and the other
fifty-seven varieties of nap dogs. took
his breath away. ''Oof!' ne grunted.
and, being . dog Of experience and
nerve. promptly regained his sangfroid
and began his tour OF inspection.
He ascertained the number Of dogs,
$50, before he did another thing, and
then he mentally calculated what It
cost to feed them and furnish a groom
or % to play attendant. To that figure
he added the supposed value Of the ami
mails. a thousand here and Ave hundred
dollars there. until his head swan and
his east side education could carry him
no further.
My, what q lot of pretty women"
said the mutt. And what q lot Of pet
ting the Poms are getting! There goes

ktngese over there on his moist. cold
nose. and now she's going to put pow
der behind his ears. Well, 1t may be all
right. but It wouldn't suit me. can
liok any one Of the bunch, and 1t Seems
to me that's what counts. IL one OF
| these here toy pups was TO get down on
Third avenue he wouldn't last long
enough for his relatives to be notified.
And he wouldn't look natural at the
funeral, either!'
And the "yaller NUTS" nose fitted in
disdain as he shifted contemporary 1T

| Look at that insignificant little piece

And the yellow mutt" walked out In
Nsgust.
FEELING BUMPS AND HUMPS 70
DECIDE ON RieeoNs.
To-day the judging took place. Ex-
peris in such matters-thoss who know
what makes one dog worth 80. v0o and
another worth thirty cents. though they

Some Of the miniature bits Of canine
Aristocracy weigh not more than q
pound and are easily worth theia
