BEATRICE"
February 4, 1902.
THE LADY AND THE PUP.
gHese to the left is a very inter-
esting photograph. The writer does
not know the lady of the fine, calm.
powerful face. He does not even
know the dog. the strange, inbred
wild little creature.
This picture is printed to call
attention to the folly which women
show in regard to dogs.
THE picture represents a feature
of dog life of an ethical rather than
a practical kind.
IF the lady in the picture-the
famous and able actress, Mrs. Patrick
Campbell-had this picture taken
with a scientific view, it was all
right. If she meant to illustrate the
marvels of evolution and natural
selection by contrasting the wild.
crazy, big eyed. snub nosed face of
the little dog with her own high de-
velopment. morally and mentally.
her idea was good one.
But if she meant to indicate in
this photograph affection for the
animal, and her opinion of his right
place in the universe, we are obliged
to disagree with and to criticize her.
at is all very well to repeat what
one woman said: The more 1 see of
men the more 1 think of dogs
The dogs place is on the floor
and not in a photograph next to a
woman's cheek.
There are in man and woman
whatever qualities we seek for, and
the human being that cannot find in
one of his own kind the highest COM
panionship. the fullest friendship and
affection. is curiously lacking.
There may be exceptions. This
picture doubtless portrays one of
them. But in general We venture to
say that the woman who likes dog
better than a child OF a man ought
not to have a child. or husband.
If the lady of this picture will
pick up in the streets the poorest
little child and have her photograph
taken with that child's face in the
place of the dogs face. We think
that she will be delighted with the
result. We shall be very glad to
print such a picture in this same
place and alongside of it Mrs. Camp
bells views on the relative satisfac-
toriness of pups and human chill
dren."

Some one has said: Gas a man is,

who say I have never saved money
it is true I have not the accepted

must remember this effort of mine.
There is a very fearsome person in
America called the press agent" 1t
is his business to see that the news
papers talk about the star" His
power of invention. contrivance and
ingenuity is beyond conception to
the normal mind.
One night at the theater just be-
fore I was going on the stage in
agent put his head in my dressing
room door and said: IF any one
says 'tanbark' you know nothing"
l called him back and asked him
what "tanbark" was. He looked
delighted and answered: II guess
you'd better not know"
That night the noise outside the
theater ceased. The street cars have
one kind of bell that jangles when
they start and another when they
stop and l think there were three
sets of tram rails outside this theater,
but on this particular evening all was
silent.
The next morning the mystery of
"tanbark" was explained in the fol-
lowing article in the newspaper:
"TANBARK.
Three car loads of tanbark were
dumped in front of the Theater Re
public on West Forty-second street.
just off Broadway. this morning.
"An army OF white wings were
soon busy spreading it in even layers
over the granite blocked pavement.
"As the street cars approached the
motormen jammed down the brakes
and slowed up and refrained from
ringing the gongs.

eke out an existence crying 'Wux-
trai' 'Wuxtra!' were gagged.
THE Italian organ grinders were
warned not to go further north than
West Twenty ninth street The
cries of babies on the block were
stifled with paregoric.
Even the detectives from the
Tenderloin police station wore gum
shoes.
THE patrolmen conversed in
whispers.
''The barkeepers over at the Met
ropole and Rossmore cafes shook up
the cocktails and gin fizzes with
muhled ice.
"All was still All was silent.
The man from Sullivan county,
who came down TO town in a straw
hat and fur trimmed duster. asked
if the Mayor was dead.
THE peanut vender at the corner,
who had been cautioned to plug up
the whistle of his roaster or suffer
banishment To Little Italy. leaned
over the curbstone and whispered
gently in the off ear of the man
from Sullivan county that Mrs. Pat
rick Campbell, the famous English
actress. was going TO play Beyond
Human Power tonight at the Thea
