this is right and every man in Nebraska, no
matter in what line of business he may be
engaged, should give preference to Ne

wise and beneficial. Yet there is one instltu-
ton, located at South Omaha, that expects
the farmers and shippers of this state TO snip
their hogs, cattle and sheep to 1T and urging
strongly as one of the reasons for so doing
that IL is a Nebraska enterprise and shoulu
receive all the nome support possible. we
believe this is right and that the stock grow

stock possible to the Union Stock yards OF
South Omaha. But at the same time, when
this company goes down to Kansas and buys
nearly all of its hay (Which it has done Tor

out the hay crop of Nebraska, 1t seems 10
me that it cannot with good grace expect

feel much like going out and preaching
very enthusiastically to the people to stahu
up for the South Omaha stock yards.
Why this Is done the people OF this state
do not know. Kansas is doing all 1t can to
build up the stock yards of Kansas City,
which is laudable. These Kansas City yards
come in direct competition with our stock
yards and yet with hay of good quality. sur
Rcient to supply all Of its wants, within a
radius of 100 miles from South Omaha, TINS
company lets it rot and ships its hay In
from Kansas and begs the stock growers OF
Nebraska to stand up for home institutions
and ship their live stock to it's yards in
South Omaha. BY pursuing this course, now
much longer does 1t expect the people OF
this state to labor for the upbuildinG Of the
South Omaha stock yards?

sPOKANE's FAMOUS BULLDOG.
His Speciality is stopping Runnvrn'
HnrSnS

The bulldog has found a new mission.
His peculiar tenacity of grip, combined
with firmness of purpose, has made him
of service in a good cause. He has become
an important factor in the stopping of
runaways, and frcm being an object of
almost universal aversion and suspicion, bids
fair to become a popular hero, The particu-
lar dog that has brought about this i'm
portant state of affairs is the property OF
City Councilman H., Bungay of Spokane,
Wash.
Pat is the name OF this clever animal.
There is nothing particularly attractive in
his appearance. His lower jaw has the
same ugly appearance that has preJudlced
the public mind against animals OF TINS
class. 1t is Pats jaw, however, that has
gained him fame,
Mr.. Bungay has a store in Spokane, and
in front OF this place of business, whenever
the weather would permit, Pat has been In
the habit of taking up his station. Ills
original task was to guard the store from
all the nuisances that walked in that d.
%rection, and in this capacity he has long
been unequaled. Mr.. Bungay has spent no
little time in teaching him that when a
horse and buggy were left In front OF the
store it was the intention to have them
remain there until the person who left them
returned and took possession. Several times
HORSES WDlIl ndNp bSSh
toned in front of the store have taken the
notion to wander on. Each time Pat mas
interposed an objection that always mao
weight, for he is a stocky dog and weighs
a good deal more than his looks would lead
one to think. 10
The climax in Pats career came a rev
DAVIS ago, when, as he was lying on the
steps of the store apparently sleeping peace
fully, a horse and buggy came dashing do"l
the street at a tremendous pace. Inc puggS
was empty, for the horse had broken MS
hitching strap, which was swinging wildly
in the air as the frightened animal tore
the situation at a glance. AS the horse
neared the Bungay store, Pat gathered
himself together on the sidewalk anC
waited. A moment later the spectators saw
a white dog swinging in all directions a
the end of that portion of the hitching straI
which remained attached to the horse.
For a few minutes the horse did not seen
to mind the animal that chung lik grin
death to the hitching strap. Pat would
swing wide of the horse and up in the air
and then come down with a thud that made
the people who heard it sorry for him,
Every time he came down, however, he
braced himself and gave the horses head
a vigorous pull. The result of Pats meth
DDS was that within a comparatively short
distance the runaway was brought to a
standstill. The dog, rather scratched and a
good deal bruised, sat calmly down by the
foaming horse. pulling the strap at inter-
walls. as If to say: "You might just as well
stop first as last when / get hold OF the
strap" OF course there was any quantity
of men ready to hold the horse after Pat
stopped it, although none of them had ex-
hibited the least inclination to get in its
way while Ii was on the run.
