Dog Walks 140 Miles to Reach FamiII
lar Spot Behind Stove.

If you've ever felt the panSS OF
homesicknes5 and have longed for tho
quiet Ct Il small town in contrast to
the hustle and hustle of big city
YOUR sympathy will go out to Deweyj
white bulldog who, pining for his
personal soft spot behind Il meat mar
ket stove in La Crosse. Wis, walked
the entire distance from st. Paul to
that city.
A letter from La Crosse tells OF the
arrival there of the dog, which IS the
property OF Oscar Baum. st. Paul
meat cutter who formerly lived IN the
Wisconsin city.
Dewey is now sleeping behind the
stove in the meat market in I1t
Crosse, which his master formerly
owned. Although Mr.. Baum brought
the dog to St. Paul in the express car
of fast limited train and offered him
all kinds of inducements and delica-
cies not to be had in small town.
Dewey was not happy.
He ran away and appeared uneX>
pectedly at his old home Monday.
Wagging his short tail fnriously, no
scratched and whined for admittance.
The 14O miles he had tramped had
made him footsore and weary. His
tongue was hanging far ont of his;
mouth and he was painting. Dewey's
eyes We're bright. however, and ho
was not too tired to yawn in a friend-
ly manner at his old trusted friend,
the market cat.
When his master telephoned from
St. Paul that he would go to La
Crosse to get him the gaunt little
fighting pet was sleeping the peaceful
sleep of the weary. Between his paws
was a discarded bone, and the satisa
fled grin on his battle-scarred face
told more plainly than words that he

CURED BY UNIQUE SURGERY.
Grateful Dog Saves Nurse Who Was
Kind To Ii.

\ remarkable case of canine surg
cry, the only one of its kind ever
known in this part of the country, fol-
lowed by an act of devotion on the
part of the cOnvalescent animal which
saved an attendant from severe injury,
has become known in Albany.
Spot. an English bulldog of the
fighting type. has been brought back to
perfect health and strength after both
his hind legs and hip had been frac-
tured For five weeks he was in Il
plaster cast. re-enforced with galvan-
lied iron. but he was one of the best
patients ever cared for in the dog
hospital of DR.. William Henry Kelly,
one time Chief State Veterinarian.
Two days before he was released
from the hospital he showed his graft
tude for "Jim." an attendant in the
hospital. and likewise displayed the
intelligence and loyalty which for ages
have made the dog mans best friend
among the animals.
A terrier was brought to the hos
pital to be treated. One day, without
warning, it made a leap for Jim" and
the two were in the midst of an en-
counter, in which the dog was having
by far the better of it when Spot
hearing the commotion. rushed from
another room, sprang upon the terrier
and with his powerful jaws and fore
feet pinned him to the floor, while

The terrier Was killed the following
day. Jim" had treated Spot with
much gcntleuess through, his five weeks
in splints and the two became great
friends.

but Mrs. Bork rushed Spot off To tho
hospital of DR.. Kelly and the latter
undertook the treatment which proved
successful.
jim was his constant attendant.

Peace, If We Have to Fight For II.

The feeling is growing that inter-
vcntion is necessary and sure To come
in Mexico. despite the emphatic state
lncnts on part of Mexican officials that
the government is able to protect the
aged president and maintain ordrr i'll
the republic. 1t is believed that
American government officials are
convinced that the time is a hand
when the American forces must make
such demonstration as will warn the
insurrectos as we'll as the Mexican
government forces. that financial and
commercial interests must no longer
be at the mercy of irresponsible war
parties.
With the American forces eoncen
trated along the border. the chief dan
ger will lie in the possible foolhardy
escapade Of some of the Young Ameri-

storing order in Mexico by effectively

necessity arise. the American forces

Uncertainty regarding the health Of
President Diaz is a disturbing factor
in the situation. Should the Mexican
President die it is feared that q reign
of anarchy might be expected to break k
out at any moment. How long such
a condition might exist without mlen-

is problematical. OF course the seeur-

would be the slightest infraction Of
