FUSSY MAN MAKES PROTEST
Almost Universal Trick of City Sales¬
men Makes No Sort of Appeal
to Him.
“Of course it is generally under¬
stood that we can always run the oth¬
er fellow’s business better than he
can,” said the fussy Philadelphian,
“which is all the more reason for sur¬
prise that our advice is so seldom re¬
garded. I could tell the haberdasher,
for instance, what sort of salesmen
he should have behind his counters.
“I have never yet met one of these
fellows who could resist the tempta¬
tion to tell me what I should wear.
And that isn’t the worst of it. They
tell me I should wear certain things
because they do, not realizing that
that is the very reason why I should
not wear them.
“I rather pride myself upon the
nicety of my attire, and to have one
of these young whippersnappers say,
‘Here is the collar for you; I wear
those myself,’ as though that would
influence me favorably, certainly does
get on my nerves. And they all do it.
It seems to be considered by their em¬
ployers as an asset in their favor.
“If I wanted to look like a $15 a
week counterjumper I might consider
their taste and follow their advice.
But I don’t ”
DOGS BECOME A NUISANCE
Staten Island Made a Dumping Ground
by Its Big Neighbor, New
York City.
Staten Island, N. Y., is notorious as
a refuge for stray dogs. The borough
across the bay is overrun with home¬
less curs of all sizes, ages and descrip¬
tions, and the policemen are kept
busy shooting them up to appease the
fears of the nervous inhabitants.
“Most of them come across on the
boats,” explained a cop stationed at
the ferry house at St. George. “No,
they aren’t stowaways, neither do
they work their passage over. They
are brought over by people who don’t
want them, who have grown tired of
their pets, or want to get rid of them
for some reason, and instead of taking
them to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animalslthey bring them
over here and turn them loose, know¬
ing they will never find their way
back.
“Once here they have to forage for
their food, and become wild and dan¬
gerous. Often they form in packs
like wolves, and then they realize the
strength of numbers, and are absolute¬
ly fearless. I dare say there are more
dogs on Staten Island than in all the
rest of the boroughs put together.”
