IN THE CITIES

Sadder Still, if the Little Parting Has Rabies CHICAGO. —Oh, messieurs and mesdames, it was so terrible, so full of the bitter anguish. The poor petite puppy dog, the tiny Pomeranian! He is torn from bees mamma’s anus; He is placed in the so common dog pound. He

is given these vulgar, what you call hamburger meat, fie starve before he eat it. The brave doggie! — It happened In the Case Lafayette, at 619 Wabash avenue. Everything is happiness. The orchestra go “La, la, la.” The mademoiselles make silvery laughter. The papas beam. The mammas are enjoying their dinneh There sits the little Pauline Heineck, twelve years old, with her papa, Dr. Aime Paul Heineck of 1809 South

Trumbull avenue. Near by is the merry party of Mlle. B. Matte, who is on the way to San Francisco from Detroit. She is the mamma of the so cute Pomeranian. See how sweet she is to him, how nice she feeds him the white meat of the chicken breast, the orange slice, the French pastry.Sudden all is discord. The music stop. The little girl is screaming. The dog is yapping. He has bit the little girl on her left band. Her papa is mad. He is calling for the police. Holy blue! It is a fright! What can she do? It is most horrible! The police lieutenant say the dog must be taken to the pound. He must be kept there until it is seen he has not rabies. Name of a pig! But yes. A messenger is sent to the railroad station in much hurry. He is to hold the train five, six, seven minute, till M’selle say good-by to her darling, precious pet. She kiss hes little nose, and dash to the taxi. M’selle come back for another kiss. She take two, three, four, five, six. She cover hes nose with kisses. She dash out. She dash back. She kiss him again. It is the last time. Ah, how she weeps! Is it not of the saddest?

Man Insists Girl Who “Killed” Him Is Mistaken

ROCKFORD, ILL. —Hold up those obituary notices for Arthur Gross of 1328 Fletcher street. Chicago. He denies he’s dead. He came back to the Hayes hotel here at 4 o'clock this afternoon and the manager showed him a telegram from C. F. Adamis & Co. of

225 South State street, Chicago, for whom Gross is a collector, asking particulars of his death. Gross had just spent an hour trying to convince the police there were no “particulars” and he was in no mood to give his obituary to the hotel people. The police had received two telegrams demanding the facts and asking them to see that an undertaker took charge of the body. Gross said they could go ahead, if they liked,

but he’d “be derned” if Ke was going to pay any undertaker's bill. _ “The first thing I want to tell you,” he said to a reporter, “is that that story about my deatly-ls all a darned lie. And, furthermore, I won’t stand for any funeral The whole thing was cooked up by a woman. She used to be my sweetheart,' but she’s married now, and keeps taggihg after me. She followed me here. I refused to see her and she went back to Chicago. I guess when she found she couldn’t get me she wanted to 'kill’ me.” Gross is a good guesser. That’s just exactly what happened.
