ANIMALS ON THE SI'AGE A little dried-0p man, who might | be, looking at him from different points | anywhere between 50 and 100 years old, keeps on animul aud bid fancier’s store on Fulton wireet. His long life among what he calls his pets has giv- en him a& most curious voice. It changes in sound and intovation as he talks to the different animals. His conversation with the Newfoundland dogs is carried on in a deep buss, while a shrill tremble wisairs (he singing of his canaries. For forty years this man bas bought and sold birds, fish, and four legged animals, and during that time had dealth with a variety of people. Anecdotes ure his chief delight, and a Times reporter happen- ed in upon him the other day just in time to hear one. The oll fancier was reading an advertisement calling for an eagle for use on the stage, and in a short time had answered it, offer- ing a bird. “Theaters,” said he, lifting his parchment-like face from a writing- desk, “are my best customers, although you wouldn't think it. It isn't long since real animals began to be used on the stage, but the great improvement in scenery made it necessary. Just think of having a clump of w)ods on the stage and no birds in nw.” And the old man's face expressed much disgust. “What are they used for? Well, a good many things.

Each of them had a long fishy tail fastened on, and this tail stuck up above the level of the tanks. The mermaids all struck out as though they were swimming, and the effect from the audievce was very fine. Pauline Markham was the fairy, and had to walk up from the water, but, bless your soul, she never got wet. Just walked up a little lad- der back of the tank, and there she was,” den, and long trap door. “Bat how did you ever get the tanks back ?” “That's the best part of the whole story,” and the man’s face became a hugh wrinkle as he tried to laugh. “I had told the carpenter all along that the trap door wasn't strong enough to bold all that water, and one fine evening, just before the cur- tain went up, the whole thing broke down. The mermaids were all down under the stage and the shock knock- ed them down and the water flowed all over them, and the poor fishes got down their necks and freightened some of them almost to.death, : After that | bought back the iron frames, put new glass fo. them, and. there they are.” A. “Did yousge thateqwl over there?

A Td XAS BE EAR STORY. a————— Mr. Meyer, of Meyer's Garden, has | sold his bear, The inquiry “what bear?’ will not be asked. ticular bear has made a character and reputation in Dallas for being as at- tractive as a paid fireman. He was introduced to his late quarters a youth, and he put in all his time to the present moment in making ac quaintances. He wore a smile at all times, and wanted to shake hands with every man, woman and child that came his way. He had funny ways too—the funniest that a bear ever had—and it was the the custom among our citizens to stand by his cage aud see him loll on his back and slap st flies, dances jig, feel around in the next cage to toy with the coon and do a thousand an! one amusing tricks. A printer, 0aeof those know. ing kind who corrects the and expresses his private opinion by changing the headlines, was showing a country friend how much more he knew than the beir, when the seized his right index finger and bit it off ut the first joint.
