Stray Canine Finds Warm Welcome at the court House. A woolv, white mongrel pup, and as much a mongrel as dogs usually get before the pound master puts an end to their really unnecessary lives, has been adopted by the officials and era nloves in the county court house. Ac cording to rule and book a politician supposed to be devoid of heart and to have about as much sympathy as a erman torpedo, so that the case at hand, one which' has reached to every corner of the court house, is especial ly interesting. For two days and two nights the dog remained on the north steps of the building, refusing to rec ognize either hunger or coaxing enough to lie enticed within those cold, e:rey walls. First to tnke an in terest in the pup was Frank Meyers,, countv assessor; interest enough, in deed, to force the animal to break its forty-eight hour fast with good meat which Mr. Meyers brought from the butcher 's. During the time the dog had been on the steps it could have had nothing to eat. While Mr. Meyers was getting meat Chester Siefarth, by some unknown strategy, induced the dog to go inside Hie building, where it refused to eat until all spectators had departed. The entire five pounds of meat provided by the county as sessor, was missing the next morning, but the dog was still on the job. That was last week, and today the ragged pup is at borne in the basement, en joying the scraps from several tables, including that of Mr. Whitney, the superintendent of the building. And evervone in the court house lavishes attention upon the animal, at the snrne time wondering "Whose Dog Are Youf " Until that question is solved the animal's source of being, insofar as rt concerns anyone in the court house. is interesting. Assessor Mevers, the original benefactor, has probnlilv most conectly solved the puzzle. It is pre sumed that the dog followed its mas ter to the north steps of the court house, where it was left to wait. When the owner had transacted his husine he thoughtlessly went out the soirtb door and home. Intelligent enough to stay where is was put. in contrast to manv human beings, the dog was determined to remain until its master eame out again, and the only differ ence in its predicament now is that it is enjoying peace and plenty waiting for the boss to return. Cntil sneh a timehe woolv, white dog with a kind ly eye and a bob tail hob-nobs with its friends throughout the eourt house. It pays an occasional social rail to the various offices, first visiting Mr. Meyers, who is especially interested in the dog's commissary, and then it drops in to see ita later benefactors. Tom Hooker has a pat for it. while Mr. Rirhter calls it "'Rover;" Judge Teal has discovered that the dog ha no taste for tobacco or bananas; Treasnrr Holman spends an idle mv "-ent now and then trying to make BRING JOY TO UNFORTUNATES. By Dallas Family Made Happy Thoughtfulness of Friends. ' With Christmas comes another seas on or it is a feeling when the brotherhood of man, the beneficient nature characteristic of most human beings, expresses itself in doing unto others those little things that make the heart feel bigger, whet your appe tite, and gives you a feeling of satis faction with all things and people. Coldly put, this is charity. But in some givers the action is not inspired by charity, but by the knowledge that they are doing to their brother or sis ter as they would have them do unto them. A case 'that demanded charity, but which received rather than that this spirited aid, as from brother to brother, or sister to sister; a little home in southeast Dallas where sick ness, and a combination of other ad versities, has conspired to level a large family to a state of actual want, was brought to the attention of sever al of the brotherhood early in the week. Richard Reiman, with a wife and five children, had been out of employment for a long time, and the bread in the larder had become so nearly exhausted that a bed-ridden child was not being properly nourished. Mr. Reiman was taken to the hos pital early in the week with typhoid fever. The ladies of the Needle Guild investigated the case, and though it was an unfortunate one it was not or the charity kind. Mr. Reiman. when able, is a good and willing worker. But the ladies were more than pleas ed to furnish the necessary clothing. Henry Serr canvassed among the mer chants in the city and their donations. when turned over to the Needle Guild, presented a remarkable Christmas for the unfortunate family. There were $24 in cash, two sacks of flour, do nated by a traveling salesman, who heard of the case, one sack of pota toes, five pairs of shoes, and a great collection of meats and groceries with orders for more. Thus will this fam ily be able to return thanks for a bountiful Christmas season. It took Mr. Serr only a short time to collect the things he turned over to the la dies. Mr. Reiman will soon be about again and can undertake the earning ot the livelihood the iarmly enjoyed before adversity visited it. Wait For the Date. Have yon: seen the list of bargains that the Dallas Grocery company is going to offer for next Friday and Saturday, the 17th, and 18th. This is- your opportunity to get your "eats" cheap or to get your wife a set of dishes for Christmas. Don't forget the time, the place, or the store. Dallas Grocery company, suc cessors to Simonton & Scott. Mrs. Trommel to Speak. The Civic League club of IndeDen- dence will be entertained this after noon at the Methodist church in that city by Mrs. Trammel of Salem, who will deliver a talk on "General Club Work." The meeting and lecture will proceed a general reception. Richard Madison, for many years a resident of Dallas, where he was in business, and whose home is at In dependence, is reported to be veryill at a Salem hospital. Friends here are doubtful as to whether or not Mr. Madison will recover. Samuel Orr, father of Sheriff, John W. Orr, and a resident of Polk countv for forty years, was in Dallas during tne latter days ot last week greeting old friends, of which he has many. ART CALENDARS. "The Rose Girl" and "The Sweetest Girl I Know."' Have you seen them in our show windows? If so you surely realize that I have made a special effort to completely dwarf anything heretofore attempted in JJnllas in the way ot fine art calendars. "The Rose Girl," "A perfect woman, nobly planned, to warn, to comfort and command. And yet a spirit still and bright, with something of an angel light." This is the finest art calendar by long long odds ever seen in Dallas. I have a very limited number of them, and you will be tortunate indeed if you secure one. Because of the high cost of this particular calendar I cannot give them away after the manner us ually followed, but here is the plan by which you may be sure of one: If your purchases at this store be tween now and January 1st, 1916, amount in the aggregate to $15.00, one of them will be reserved for vou. "The Sweetest Girl I Know," a beautiful water-color production is a .finer art calendar than ever before given away in this city. To secure one of these you must come- to the store between now and December 2.5 and register your name, and the cal endar will be given to you when you call any time after the first of Janu ary, 1916. Remember, however, that they will be given in the order of reg istration until the supply is exhaust ed'. When this happens, those who have registered will receive a Bmall size "Rose Girl." You must regis ter for yourself. "By proxy " will not secure the reservation of a calendar. In conclusion concerning the cal endars, i am very happy to give a fine calendar to the good people who have been my patrons during the past year, but I am not extremely anxious to give out hne calendars to those whose only interest in this store or myself is limited to the receipt of an art calendar, and who never cast their shadow in the door until calendar time comes again. Of course you are not one of that kind, but you know of course there are a few in Dallas who feel that way about it. I sincerely thank the many friends and patrons for the support given me in the past, and as the last sound of the twelfth stroke of the clock dies trembling away on the cold, clear mid night air, as the old year flees into the fastnesses of eternity before the eager footsteps of the new, may there dawn for you a year of joy and! thanksgiving, health and happiness: prosperity and peace.
