HAT IX dog's SKIX.
Prominent French Society Woman Vic- }
tlm of Remarkable Fraud- |
Paris, January 7.?The ronowai of
the fanhlen lor small dogs has just
led to a remarkable case of fraud, the
victim of which la one of the best
known women In Paris socloty. It
should be known that toy dogs have
once again come into special favor
In Paris, partly on account of the
restriction of the tramways and un?
derground and district railways con?
cerning the right to take a dog with
cne while traveling a'oout tho olty.
Tho very largo muff so mueh in
fashion has given many women an
excellent ni"ans of evading the diffi?
culty, while otherB buy aiik bags spe?
cially made for tho purpose to carry
their Belgian grlffonB from place to
place. Nevertheless, the demand for a
? mailer dog ts constantly growing.
Walking up and down the fashion?
able e'do of the Avenue de Bols de
Boulogne the other morning was a
man who had several toy dogs to 6how
off, ostensibly for sale. Ono of the
smallest of them was a particularly
diminutive specimen of the griffon.
Finally a woman stepped up to ask Its
price. The men made the little dog
perform seVe1! 1 tricks, and then, af?
ter some m. iUie?' conversation, In?
formed her that ho had a still more re?
markable specimen in hla coat pocket.
He then fished out a little creature
scarcely more than half tho size of the
first.
The woman concluded what she
thought was a bargain and what the
man 'sold was i sacrifice, She put the ,
little oik- In her shiift", went oft" to
luncheon, and o.> getting home again
:>ulled him out from his hiding. For
a minute or two th,.- animal showed
fear, but then; t? her great amazemer,;
and that of her servant, the little grif?
fon suddenly started toward the win
low and ran up one of the curtains
with the speed and agility no; at all
unlikj the best known o/jalltles of
mouse. The butler and footman wer
balled, and there was an exciting
chase'about the drawing room before
the little wonder was captured. The I
new owner was, then rather more hor- '
rifled than surprised to find that her j
griffon was nothing eise but a rathe.- j

Clark Howell Says Time Has
Come for Dixie to "Quit j
Hanging Back."
Washington. January v.?Calling up-j
on the South to rid liself of the ob-'
session that a Southern mar. cannot be
elected President, Clark Howell. of
Georgia, oldest coniimuoernan In point'
of service on the Democratic National I
Committee, rearhe-d Washington to-day
and set politicians thinking about the.
??favorite sons" below Mason and Dlx-j
on's line.
"The South has been eating in the)
kitchen for fifty years." said Mr.'
Howell. "Now that we have been in -1
vitod to come up In the parlor we all'
hold back, while the rest of the coun-J
try !s willing." ? i
Mr. Howell has committed himself to1
none of the candidates now in the race
for the Democratic nomination, out his
general review of the situation will
bring cheer to the supporters of Oscar
Underwood, Champ Clark and other
candidates who do not come from "up
North." . i
Cull* It Struuso.
"It's a strang': thing." said Mr.
Howell. "The t-outb has been doing
::enEiicf for fifty ycors and iv? have
held tenaciously to the prejudiced Idea
that It would [be u political blunder
to nominate a man from our section.
The North, and other sections of the
country, have long alnce forgotten this
old obseusiou. but H still lingers In
the South.
"A friend walked Into my office the
other day. 1 uakt-<i him whom he
favored for President. He named one
of the Southern nien mentioned, but he
riualllled his indorsement with this
significant ?t?temoiil:
" '1 wns for this Southerner, but
since 1 ctv.ne to Atlanta everybody
holds up hands In horror and laments
the fact that a Southerner cannot be
elected.'
"I wonder how long we are to be
burdened with this peculiar Idea which
exists nowhere else in the country?"
asked Mr. Howell.
"The President named a riouthernor
tor the chief Justiceship; he appointed
a Georgian to the highest bench: he
has just selected a South Carollnlun
to head the Marine Hospital Service;
Southern men are being named for Im?
portant position^ every day, but dow.i
our way the people stiii cling to tho
olii fetU' that a Southern man cannot
'ja President."
?t? York for lllni.
Mr. H Interview is slgniitcartt
when placed parallel with that of a
member of the Now York delegation
In the House, who said:
'?The Now York delegation in tho
convention would swing to Oscar Un?
derwood after the first few ballots if
th? South would only keep his name
before tho convention und put up a
light for his nomination. 1 am not a
supporter of L'hderwood at this time,
but there Ik no denying the fact that
lie Is gradually gaining strength all
over the country.
"Other sections have forgotten that
there wc3 a war; they would rather
vote for Underwood than somu of the.
candidates proposed, but the South,
still clinging to an obsession that hau
prevented the nomination of a South?
ern man for a half century, hold.s
back and harms Itaelf. It Is tlrrin for
tho South to tvake up: to eome out of
the trance."
Thore Is no den) Inj- the fact thai
thore Is considerable L'nderwood talk
ay tho Democrats gather in Washing?
ton. His nome was mentioned along
?with ?hose of Wilson, Harmon and
Clark to-day. one delegate expressing
the conviction that Underwood Is gain?
ing strength dally, and that Wilson
and Harmon "have each lost 35 pc?
cent, of their support" In the last
sixty days.
