State Convention ION Wheels"
Garden City, August z, 8, 8, 1911

This year, in May, 1881 registered
delegates were in attendance at the
State Sunday School convention in
Topeka. 1t is utterly impossible to
entertain a meeting of such proper
tions in the western portion of Kan
sas. Year after year the western
delegates go only at great expense
to the larger cities of eastern Kan
sas. Many more would go but for
the cost involved. Since the noun
tain cannot well go to Mahomet, Ma
homet will go to the mountain. The
state officers have arranged to carry
the best features of the Topeka con-
vention to the great southweSt-to

Dog Guarded His Masters Corpse
| Winona, Kans., July 25.-A man by
the name of Jasperson, living north
of Winona, in Thomas county, was
| found dead in his pasture Sunday
morning. He had been hearding
cattle in the early part of the day
and as he had been feeling poorly for
several days, although he never had
been sick day before in all his 10
years of life, his son, when he re-
turned from Sunday school and not
finding his father at the house, went
in search of him. The old gentlemen
was found lying in the grass of the
pasture where he fell, guarded by his
faithful dog, which had remained by
his dead master. The son was led to
the body of his father by the actions
of the faithful animal whose barking
and remaining at the spot had also
attracted the attention of neighbor.
The dog had worn a path in the
grass about the body in his efforts to
guard it and to attract the notice of
