A Dog in Pawn.

Even dogs are pawned in New York!, write* a correspondent. In a place on Twenty-eighth street a lonely pug, separated from his fellows, gazed wistfully at customers yesterday. “How much for that one ?’ asked a sti-finger as he pointed toward the pug. “Can't sell him until Monday night,” replied the bird and dog denier. The man wanted to know why, and he was informed that the pug was in pawn, and ts he wasn’t redeemed prior to the time mentioned lie would be sold. “That pug’s been hocked three times and has always been redeemed. How much do I loan on him? A dollar’s the limit, sir, as pugs are nO longer popular, you know.” When a woman puts her pet dog in pawn it is quite safe ts conclude that the wolf has entered her apartment.
