Davis Returned the Lost Pug and Didn’t Get Any Thanks Either. @ few mornings ago with @ ter- rible togthache. “My whole jaw is jumping out of my head,” he teie- phoned to his dentist. “I'll come right around,” “Nothing doing,” said the dentirt. | “All my time for to-day is arranged for." Re HARDING DAVIS awoke “But you must,” insisted Davie, “I'm dying by inches.” “You'll have to die then,” cheerily quoth the tooth doctor. ‘Do you think I ean give somebody else's time to you?” “Bxactly what you've got to do,” said ‘Devis. “Ill start right away because Miss Eleanor Robson and a whole ‘ot of actors will be waiting for me to go and rehearse ‘em at 11 o'clock.” And ‘the upshot was that the dentist gave the author the time of a woman who was coming all the way from Jersey, and Davis started down Fifth avenue. He hadn't gone very far when he met the jolliest ttle Boston bulldog he ever saw—plainiy lost and looking for its master, A policeman almost had the pup when Davis reached out and in- serted the crook of his walking stick in its Ge “Yes, mine,” he told the Bolce: man. ot know T ought to haves lengh, but I'm going to catch a cal ther * to make good he got ine taxicab. “Tn tare you pee said a Haak" the dog, whose col rack Men Navarro “aStas went Thither he went, only to be told that Mr. Cook had moved to the C! 1, 7 n author, dog and foottache down, there, no, traces could be found of Mr. Cook. Back to the Navarro they journeyed, and this time the telephone girl recommended him to the janitor’s wife in Fifty-sixth street, and she said Mr. Cook was living in East Thirty-first street. Once egain the taxicab turned and the address proved to be a church. Here alighted, pup under his arm, and two Serubwomen and @ Janitor fell upon his neo! pel, in | hi ‘West Thirty-Arst street.

In a letter to the Ab- bot, Charles Emerson Cook, accepting jthe honor, Winchell Smith wrote: “TI am grateful and delighted that I am chosen. How in blazes did tt hap- pen? Who have I licked? A magazine editor asked Nat Goot- win in the Lambs’ Club the other day {€ he would write some reminiscences. “Not for a gold mine," sald Goodwin, with surprising emphasis. ‘Why? It's story, but it's the old thing about @ burnt child and the rest of it. When I was playing Shylock in Chicago the Sunday editor of a certain sensational newspaper sent a reporter to interview me about my conception of the part. I told him what I thought, what I aspired to show in my characterization, and he asked me if I would write an article of about 2,500 words explaining why thought my conception, of Shylock was the correct one. Tf said I would, and did, and I took a lot of time and trouble with it. But next Bunday when it came out I had a fit when I saw just one line of peadiae; over _it—all in letters— ‘Nat Says He's Great!’ D'ye blame me for swearing off writing for any publi- cation after that?” Miss Grace ‘ven St Studdtford has be- come @ fencing enthusiast.

Mr. Cook—that isn't really his name—sat. “Oh, look, he's brought Jack home,” chorused the scrubwomen and the jani- tor, while Jack madiy wagged his crooked tail. But the Rev. aise.
