A piomteia business man of this city relates an affecting anecdote in connection’ .with the “dog-tag” ordinance, which aptly ilustrates: the depths of a child’s friendship (or love?) for a dumb playmate, As the gentleman in question was passing the Pound, wherein at present is confined a large number of canines -+-whose master's have not paid the stipulated tax to secure them a necklace, he observed a little boy, a bright-faced youngster, leaning against the enclosure, and sobbing as thoagh his heart was about to, break. “Well, well, gonnie; and what is turned toward him # tear-stained face, which was hot. and flushed from long continued ‘weeping, “they have taken-mydoggie away,and are going to kill him, just ’coz mamma saya she can't give me the money to hire those bad men not to doit. Oh, dear!’ Oh——” and his grief broke . cries, in which the faithfal dog,;— who stood oh the other side of the partition looking up into~ his young master’s face,—soon joined with howls and whines, that sbowed the sagacionsbrute, -too,«shared the sorrow of; the little fellow, although sihiane. he did not understand the cause. The man who relates the tale says that the child’s trouble was evidently contagious. For in spite of all he . could do, tears would force their ‘Way into “his own “eyés, although __. perhaps it was the effect of a cold in his head. But however that may "be, he said: “Bea little man, my boy; stop your-crying; run and find the Marshal, bring-him--here, and PH-get -that-dog back for you, if it takes -every dollar in Nevada City.” At hour afterward, and the child and his dog were playing together as happily as though a cloud had never crossed their paths in life. And the kind individual who had brought about all the pleasure, says he feels repaid more than a hundred -fold for what he has done; and who is there bus what will believe = re fire They Were All Biuaspuated. As-man once advertised to jump over a water-full some seventy feet high. ‘He will be killed of vourse,”’ said everybody; so everybody went to seehim do it. The daring’ fellow made the leap, came to the surface again, and was fished out of the basin sound in body, . Next day Jones said to Smithsimmons who was there and saw it all, ‘‘Weill’ old boy, how was the leap?’ An infernal humbug, ‘‘said the disgusted Smithsimmons; ‘‘the man wasn’t even kill. ed}”’ That's about the state of mind experienced by the bald-headed old sports and the bare faced young ones who went to the Theatre on Friday night to see the Female Minstrels. believe it was going to: be a ‘‘wayup” show, something rich, rare and. racy, as it were. There weren't half a dozen married men in town hardly that didn’t have some ‘‘important business’’ down town that night, ‘. and it wasn’t a corporal’s guard that -. managed to get by the Theatre door. Théy all went in, and when they “looked around on the audience and found none of the gentler sex had turned out, they chuckled away to themselves, because they thought they were in clover. Then the ¢éurtain rose, and those who had not secured front seats thought they were out of luck. The show préjressed eh. They consoled themselves with the thought it would most certainly happen *pretty soon.”” But they were doomed to disappointment. The “*‘Naughty Bema ves some four or five common look performed by them attired in a manner which showed that they were prepared for cold weather—snowballing or skating, —instead of swimming, That was about all there wan of it, and perhaps it explains why avery one who attepded said the show was a ‘‘sell.” as a matter,of necessity, for journalists oftimes are’ compelled to visit such places even when their conscience rebels against it. He went fu the purpose of securing @ list of the names’ of the prominent eitizeun present, hut after Pv. two note books, and: recorded, Facts pagpermeiye th the matter?” he asked hindly,. ‘. . “Oh, sir,” and the young sufferer. out afresh, finding expression ‘in . The bills had led them to. women dressed like flower gel, athe it act of the ‘‘Femalo Bathers’’ was. 5g Our representative was present’ aae dicennnenivensity Did the corn doctor pay you ‘s ‘¥isit when he was in'fown a week or} two-ago, reader? If he chanced tp, mere genuine amusement can be ‘crowded into half an hour than by talking with—or rather listening to —this genteely dressed, smoothtongued, urbane and enthusiastic ehiropodist, itis hard to imag*ne. That he was devoted tu his following no one eould doubt. We’ zeally wouldn’t be ‘surprised to learn that he afé6 corn-bread for © »breakfast, corned-beef f6r dinner, drank cornjuice for ‘upper with corned chandlers as boon companions, and finally wound up the day by rolling thoroughly corned—condition; and that he would, waken the next morpsilver cornet until another breakfast could be prepared for him. This person, whose every thonght seemed ¢o be centered on corns, went into the Sheriff's office. overat thé Court House while be was here. He sauntered in as gracefully a8 & French dancing master.“Ah, good day, gentlemen,” he somiclied, settling down into a chbir between the Sheriff and Jaiter;—axdfacing the writer, ‘‘glad to see yuu ‘really. My name is Doctor Francois, at your service, and Iam the greatest living corn extractor now on this coast. Have had thirty years’ experience in the nobie profession. The Qneen of England or President . Hayes will attest to my reputation; have operated upou both of them —T{ mean their corns. I have traveled through Europe.twice.in_thecapacity of Royal Chiropodist, and can show medals received from every crowned head of the Old World for deformed extremities. Any of you afflicted with corne?” Carter nodded his head sadly. ‘‘Ha! you are? Well, sir,’’ and he drew his chair up close to the Jailor’s, and went on, in a confidential’ manner: ‘‘Do you know that Lean snateh corns bald-headed by my improved process in less than. five minutes. Will they ever re-appear ogain, you ask? Nosir! The worst one is in between the toes, is it? Well,if there is anything that I delight in, it’s to get after a corn between the toes! There are my best hold. My prices are put down. to auit the tines. Fifty cents for extracting one corn, or threé for a dollar, “and I take out fibers und all. Certainly, the operation is perfectly painless. Why, Itook three corns from the foot,of an infant that wasn’t two weeks old, once, and the cherub slept through the whole operation like a sweet angle of-——’’ This last assertion was a little to much for even a newspaper reporter to stand, So he stepped out of the and left the two county officials there to hear the whole story out. Whether or not they survived a continuance reason, must be determined by the manner of their fatare conduct. _ Board of Rqualisation.

A piomteia business man of this city relates an affecting anecdote in connection’ .with the “dog-tag” ordinance, which aptly ilustrates: the depths of a child’s friendship (or love?) for a dumb playmate, As the gentleman in question was passing the Pound, wherein at present is confined a large number of canines -+-whose master's have not paid the stipulated tax to secure them a necklace, he observed a little boy, a bright-faced youngster, leaning against the enclosure, and sobbing as thoagh his heart was about to, break. “Well, well, gonnie; and what is turned toward him # tear-stained face, which was hot. and flushed from long continued ‘weeping, “they have taken-mydoggie away,and are going to kill him, just ’coz mamma saya she can't give me the money to hire those bad men not to doit. Oh, dear!’ Oh——” and his grief broke . cries, in which the faithfal dog,;— who stood oh the other side of the partition looking up into~ his young master’s face,—soon joined with howls and whines, that sbowed the sagacionsbrute, -too,«shared the sorrow of; the little fellow, although sihiane. he did not understand the cause. The man who relates the tale says that the child’s trouble was evidently contagious. For in spite of all he . could do, tears would force their ‘Way into “his own “eyés, although __. perhaps it was the effect of a cold in his head. But however that may "be, he said: “Bea little man, my boy; stop your-crying; run and find the Marshal, bring-him--here, and PH-get -that-dog back for you, if it takes -every dollar in Nevada City.” At hour afterward, and the child and his dog were playing together as happily as though a cloud had never crossed their paths in life. And the kind individual who had brought about all the pleasure, says he feels repaid more than a hundred -fold for what he has done; and who is there bus what will believe = re fire They Were All Biuaspuated. As-man once advertised to jump over a water-full some seventy feet high. ‘He will be killed of vourse,”’ said everybody; so everybody went to seehim do it. The daring’ fellow made the leap, came to the surface again, and was fished out of the basin sound in body, . Next day Jones said to Smithsimmons who was there and saw it all, ‘‘Weill’ old boy, how was the leap?’ An infernal humbug, ‘‘said the disgusted Smithsimmons; ‘‘the man wasn’t even kill. ed}”’ That's about the state of mind experienced by the bald-headed old sports and the bare faced young ones who went to the Theatre on Friday night to see the Female Minstrels. believe it was going to: be a ‘‘wayup” show, something rich, rare and. racy, as it were. There weren't half a dozen married men in town hardly that didn’t have some ‘‘important business’’ down town that night, ‘. and it wasn’t a corporal’s guard that -. managed to get by the Theatre door. Théy all went in, and when they “looked around on the audience and found none of the gentler sex had turned out, they chuckled away to themselves, because they thought they were in clover. Then the ¢éurtain rose, and those who had not secured front seats thought they were out of luck. The show préjressed eh. They consoled themselves with the thought it would most certainly happen *pretty soon.”” But they were doomed to disappointment. The “*‘Naughty Bema ves some four or five common look performed by them attired in a manner which showed that they were prepared for cold weather—snowballing or skating, —instead of swimming, That was about all there wan of it, and perhaps it explains why avery one who attepded said the show was a ‘‘sell.” as a matter,of necessity, for journalists oftimes are’ compelled to visit such places even when their conscience rebels against it.
