WANTED-A DOG.
WANTED-A young lady is looking for a dog for a pet. No especial breed required. Call at 2230 Washington Avenue at three o'clock on Thursday.
Thursday afternoon Miss Winifred Wishard sat in her private sanctum at 2230 Washington Avenue, waiting for dogs to inspect. At three o'clock dogs began to arrive with their owners, who prepared to await their turn for an interview. Mary O'Flannigan had been instructed to bring in the dogs one at a time, that Miss Winifred might pass judgment upon them.
The first corner was a little man with smooth, bald head, frayed collar and cuffs and a blazing tie and a liquid, oily voice. He was accompanied by a sleek greyhound, slender and perfectly formed. As soon as the door had closed behind the maid the dapper little man, with a sweeping bow, commenced his rose: "Good day, Miss—ah I saw by this morning's paper that you were looking for a dog. Now allow me to say madam, that just any old dog will not do for you—ah in fact, I think you want the best, indeed, nothing short of the best would be at all suitable for your pet."
With a bow and a sweeping motion of the hand he emphasized these remarks and then continued:
"I am representing the Judson-Jones house which deals only in the very best pedigreed dogs ah—in fact, I may say, you can find no better dogs in this city or indeed in any other. The dog I have here is a full blooded greyhound with a pedigree as long as your arm. We have named him William der Gross. See for yourself the perfect beauty and symmetry of every part, the intelligent eyes, the beautiful head, the glossy silk of his coat, in fact, I may say—ah this is a perfect specimen of a greyhound."
Seemingly out of breath, he paused for a minute and Miss Winifred had opportunity to interpose.
"Yes, yes, it is a pretty animal, but hardly what I want. I think if you will give me your firm's address, I will let you know in case I decide upon this dog. Good afternoon."
And the man, too astonished to make any reply found himself leading his dog out of the front door.
Again Mary appeared and this time it was a very small boy who followed close on her heels. In his arms was a scrawny unkempt yellow ear, matching well the tangled towhead of the youngster. Neither dog nor boy looked unused to hunger and want and blows.
The pithetic brown eyes of the dog looked up into the little fellow's face at this and his stump of a tail wagged sympathetically.
"Good day, mem, I seed in one o' my papers this mornin' as how yer wanted a dog. Mine hain't very good lookin', but he's a mighty good dog, haint 'ye Towser?"
"I hateter let ye hev him, cause him an' me is friends, all I'vegot but he's sick and hungry an' I hev ter leave him at home and dad's drunk mostly and kicks and beats him. I thought mebbe you could kind o' take keer of 'm an' giv' 'im good things to eat, an' anyhow I have to have some money. Dad kicks me too, cause I can't sell 'nuff papers."
He looked down at his little friend with tears in his eyes, and Miss Winifred brushed her handkerchief hastily across her own. The two looked so forlorn and friendless and still so contented with each other that her heart went out strongly toward them, and something seemed clutching hard at her throat.
"Won't you and Towser come with me and we'll have a little tea while I think the matter over," said Miss Winifred gently, and lead them out to the cool, shaded porch
Out in front was a strange assembly of dogs and their owners. To while away the time the owners smoked and told yarns, or quar-
reled over the merits and fine points of their charges. The charges themselves were busy moving about, apparently trying to pick out friend and foe. An occasional snarl or yelp of pain gave promise of a fight, but blood on the dogs would be no recommendation to a young lady and the owners of the offenders generally managed to find some way of separating them before any serious trouble came about.
On the side porch the little fellow had fallen asleep in his easy chair with the dog still clasped in his arms. Miss Winifred left him there and went back into her room to continue her search for a dog, her mind busied all the time with thoughts of her little guest wan dering happily in dreamland.
This time it fell to the lot of a fatherly old gentleman to be brought before the young lady. He came in with a vicious looking bull dog, and awkwardly enough he followed Mary into the room.
"Ach, Gott, fraulein, and how is it mit you? I huf here one dog und dot morning paper haf said as how you like one dog. He ist no beauty and perhaps is not yust wot you would want, but he is one goot dog yet und I know you would come to like him, of dot I am ganz sure."
As he spoke his face beamed and his manner was so kindly and gentle that something moved the girl to tell him the story of her little newsboy.
Briefly she related the facts and looked up at him a little fearfully toward the end, saying:
"I really don't know why I have told you this, but somehow you looked so big and strong and friendly that I couldn't help it."
Half afraid for what she had done she waited for his reply.
Slowly and with all the sincerity of his big German heart it came.
"Ach, frautein, i pleasees me much that you haf told me dis. I had thought dot I might sell you dis dog, for, much as I luf him, my leedle folks must haf shoes and bread. But ach, here is one leedle fellow wot needs it more und I say gif it to him und care for his dog und my leetle ones will be wery glad dot I brings back their oft playmate once more. I will tell dose others dot you haf your dog und you can make one leedle pery wery happy when he know vot you will do. Gott bless you, frautein, you haf one kind heart, und I will know dot dergot Gott would haf me keep my dog."
"Yes, oh yes," said Miss Winifred with a touch of impatience "but I don't want his dog. It's nothing but mangy yellow cur and I advertised for a companion, and, too, if I take the dog, I may be quite sure that the little fellow will always be running here to see how it is getting along. I can't stand dirty boys."
All the pride in her own wealth and family rank showed through in these words and the kindly old German was hurt at the change in voice and manner. It seemed impossible to him that one who had just shown him such a gentle and tender nature should so quickly become cold and hard.
"You disappoint me much, fraunlein. I had thought dot your heart was all gut und kind. I can not say vot you must do but let dot teetle voice say vot is best." Miss Wini-fred stood at first with a vexed and impatient expression on her face, then looking up quickly with a smile, bright and sunny, she said.
"Thank you, and you may tell the others that I have my dog."

Executive Committee Meets.
LAWRENCE
The executive committee of the Debating council met at 3 o'clock Thursday. There was perhaps more business transacted at this meeting than any other for the year. Actions were taken affecting all the debates in which K.U.takes part this year.
The time of the Baker debate was set for the first week in February. A committee was appointed to confer with the chancellor in the matter of choosing judges for this debate. A second committee was appointed to attend to the management of the debate.
It was decided to hold one contest to choose speakers for both the Missouri and the Nebraska debates. This preliminary will be held the first week in March. Five men will be chosen, two for the Nebraska and three for the Missouri team. The question at this contest will be: "Resolved, That municipalities should own and operate plants for supplying light, water and surface transportation."
It was decided to hold the Missouri debate the second Friday in April. The time of the Nebraska debate has not been definitely decided, but will be about the middle of next April. The date submitted by the Colorado university was confirmed. The debate with that university will be held at Boulder on the evening of the 11th of April.
