Jim Be?b? Has Lost His Dog
Jim Beebe came to town Monday
looking as sad and mournful as an
undertaker’s parlors during an epi­
demic of yellow fever. His deject­
ed countenance betrayed his grief
and menal agitation. When an In­
quiry was mads as to why he wae
flying these signals of distress he
related the following tory: Some
time ago there came Into my pos-
esston a dog, and a better dog never
graced the front seat of a Ford than
the canine of which I speak. When,
ever I mode a trip he was with
me. But I would always tie him
In the car for I did not want him
to associate with city dogs. A ranch
log Is Just like boys from the coun­
try. Whenever hey start coming
to town they learn bad traits and
very soon are as worthless as a Ger­
man mark.
‘‘A few days ago 1 was making
preparations for a trip and as wm
tils custom the dog parked himself
beside me In the front seat. I had
another passenger so made him ride
In the back. Well, sir, that broke
lls heart. He had never been treat­
ed in this manner before. Some­
where on the road he jumped from
the ear and I have never seen him
rlnee.”

It was our Intentions to ask Jim

fore he finished his story we could
ee that he was struggling with
emotions that would have caused
him to hurst Into tears had we pro­
longed the agony. But If you see
a dog who turns up his nose at elty
mongrels and refuses to associate
with them notify Jim Beebe at once.
