sick master. His devotion was sin
cere and there was nothing that
could detract him from his masters
bedside.

To hobble about on crutches. How
criplped for life and the remarkable
dog seemed to be the first to realize
: this and seemed to be all the more
devoted because of his masters mis-
fortune.

strong to be able to study. the par
ents were anxious to have him attend
school. The nearest school house is
located nearly a mile away. The
boy not having 5een able to walk

big dog vending his way down the

regular dog and it is very probable
that If prospective buyer offered
young Schroats a thousand dollars
for the animal, the amount would be

markable incident of animal de-
'votion and is probably the most un-
usual case OF its kind ever brought
to light in this country.

MART|NEAU
 WILL bE NAMED Said to Be the Only Man Qualified for the Position of Assistant Adjutant of the State Guard.
PENNEY WANTED IT
He Is the Only Other Applicant-Mar- tincau Has the Call, According to Information From the State House. The Provisions.

It appears that by the act passed by the recent legislature providing for the reorganization and main tenance of the Arkansas National Guard that among the candidates prominently mentioned for ap- continent as hssistant adjutant general, says the Little Rock Ga zette, John D. Martineau is the only candidate qualified for the position. The first section of the act exempts all persons from militia duty who are connected with either the execu- tive, legislative or judicial depart ments of the government. Another section of the act provides that all officers appointed must, at the time of the appointment, either either be an officer in active service of the guard or have had prior service in the guard. Representative W. B.. Pinney, although strongly recom- mended for the position, is disqual- flied from holding the office by req son of being a member of the low CT house of the legislature. Mar tineau is at present connected with no branch of the government and was a former member of the State Guard. It was stated yesterday in state house circles that Martineau had the call on the appointment. The militia bill is in the hands of the governor, but up to yesterday he had given it no consideration. It contains 3S sections and goes into every detail of militia organization and management. It will be several days before the governor disposes of the measure. It is believed that he will approve the act, and when he affixes hi signature to it he will make the appointments required un- der it's provisions.

CLASS POEM
 WAS A GEM
Miss Bess Thompson Captured Audi ence at Junior Exercises Last Night With Her Witty
 Composition.

Composition.
 Last night, the Junior day exercises were held with appropriate ceremonies at the Merrill Institute auditorium. The large seating capacity was taxed to the utmost and standing room was at premium. All the numbers rem dered were exceptionally we'll ex- ecuted. Miss Christine Murphy, by clever and scholarly essay, won the Marion essay contest. The "class his tory" by Miss Florence Pope and the "class prophecy" by Miss Mary Frank Sweet were much enjoyed. The class poem by Miss Bess Thompson was the eature of the evening. The way in which it was written was admirable enough, but the way in which she executed it completely captured her audience. The numbers by Misses Marie and Nettie Lloyd, Edna Dutton, Willie Lee Daniels and Clara Conway were excellent. The boys sextette also made a hit. The poem is given below:
