The papers are having a good deal
to say now about the hound dog song,
and different versions as to its author
are given out, and many people are
claiming it as their own. One paper
says it dates back to the days Of Dan
iel Boone and had its origin in Mis-
souri,. And that the Missouri legis-
lature will pass or has passed an act
to make it the official song of the
State. Here is one version of it that
I have seen:
Ev'ry time I come to town
The boys keen a-kicin' my dawg
aroun';
Makes no difference if he is a houn'-
They gotta quit kickin' my dawg
aroun'!
Every time go to school
Tie teacher lams me with rule;
Makes no difference if I am fool,
She. got a-quit lammin' ne with a
rule.
Sift the meal an save the bran,
Iou cant grow taters in sandy lam.
Makes no difference if he is houn',
You got a-quit kickin' my dawg aroun'
My dawg Drum is a good Of houn',
Trails the 'possum on the dryest
groun'.
Makes no difference if he is houn',
You got a-quit kickin' my dawg aroun'.
l read in another paper that a man
named Zeb Harris, who lives in 1ndl-
ana, says that he wrote the song when
he was a school boy II years old and
gives as the reason for writing it that
ne was a country boy and went to a
town school and the town boys were
always knocking his hound dog
around, and he was very fond of his
log, and he took this method of stop
ping the abuse of his favorite dog.
He sCys that his dog wasn't scared OF
anything. 1t may be interesting to
hose who a2e familiar with and in
crested in the hound dog to read
what Zeb Harris says himself about
he hound dog poem which is now at
.racting so much attention:
"The reason 1 wrote that piece was
that the boys in Royerton, where l
was going to school, kicked on me
and my dog all the time because we
were from the country. OF course
Roverton was really country itself,
cnlv about two hundred people being
there. but the town boys thought they
werc smart. So every time l came to

a few of the boys, but they wouldn't
stay whipped and finally I knew l

school
so one night I brought out my
slata from school, and when all the
folk had gone to bed I slipped into the
kitchen and lighted a coal lamp and
the barn lantern to be sure mad
plenty of light and started to write.
"T'd asked my teacher, Bert Need
ham, if it would be all right for me
to recite a poem on visitors day at
the school instead of reading an es-
say, and he said it would be il l
thought myself competent.
81 was mad all through, too, when
wrote the verse.

Saved the Cats Life.

A cat that was summing itself on q
platform before a store in Barclay
street suddenly arose, stretched and
walked to the exact middle of the
street, where 1t lay down on the
wooden pavement, relates the New
York Tribune. A truck came rapidly
down the street, but the driver saw
the sleeping animal and turned his
team aside. The cat w SO much
as wiggled an a The first vehicle
was followed by a second, the driver
again avoiding a fatality. Several
wagons passed and the cat still re-
manned unscathed. Then a man who
had been watching from the sidewalk,
picked a banana peel out Of the gutter
and threw it at the cat, waking it up
and sending it scurrying to a nearby
doorstep. "A cat has only nine lives"
the man said, "and eight wagons have
barely missed running over it.

Verdict Of M~anslanghter in First and
Second Degree Returned Against
the Slayers uf Roland Judish.

The jury in the case OF JoeHlgh
Bear and Jonah Star Saturday
in Gil cult Court, at SlSseton
returned a verdict of manslangh-
ter in the first degree against
High Bear and of manslaughter
in the second degree against Star
for the killing of Roland Judish,
a 17-year-old boy, on March 20.
The case went to the jury on
Saturday morning and it was
not long until the jurors reached
a verdict. In view of the confess
sion of High Bear, the verdict in
his case was not a surprise, but
the defense had made a strong
effort to save Star by proving an
alibi.
STORY OF CRIME
On Sunday afternoon, March
25, Roland Judish was at Browns
Valley for a Sunday visit with
his father, Paul Judish. He had
been staying alone on his fathers
farm in Easter township in
Roberts Co. curing the winter
and up to that time had been
making almost daily visits to
Browns Valley, which is about
three miles distant from the farm
home.
On Sunday the boy left his
home about Z p. m. for the farm.
He had u lumber wagon and two
horses, and had promised his
mother to be in the Valley the
next day with a load OF hay. He
was last seen alive the same
evening about 8 or $50 about a
mile from his destination Ben
Wan Vooris and S. J. Brown, Jr.,
of Browns Valley, met him on
the road and spoke to him In
passing.
Previous to meeting the Jndish
boy and while passing the vicinity
of the Judish farm or the road
Van Vooris and Brown had
noticed two dark objects stand
ing near the gate at the house,
and had taken the objects to be
men and had so remarked to each
other.
The following day, when the
boy failed to reappear, his moth

.CATARRn MISERIES
FOREVER ENDED
A SIMPLE, SAFE REMEDY BRINGS
INSTANT RELIEF, EVEN IN
THE WORST CASES.

The quickest, safest and best way
to cure catarTh is by using a REM
edy that will touch the spot and do
its work quickly without leaving any
bad effects. Ely's Cream Balm, which
is applied to the nostrils or rubbed
on the throat or chest, gets right at
the root Of the trouble, and instantly
relieves even the worst case OF ca
tarrh. In a few minutes after APP
piled, you can feel a loosening up in
the head, the pain and soreness are
gone, the sense of taste, smell and
hearing come back, and you feel like
a different person.
Ely's Cream Balm ~cleanses, heals
and strengthens the inf1amed mem
branes, stops the nasty discharge
which makes the breath foul and
causes the disgusting hawking, spit
ting and blowing. Hay fever victims
who are made miserable with fits of
sneezing and coughing get instant re-
lief by the use of this simple remedy.
Don't suffer with catarrh another
day. Ely's Cream Balm will relieve
you Immediately, and a fifty cent bot
tie viii more than likely effect a COM
pIete cure. All druggists sell it.

OFFICIAL KIssERs.

Hungerford. Eng. has a custom that
might find favor In Fargo. Zach
year every woman in the town gets
kissed. Two healthy and handsome
young men are selected for the kissing
bouts. The town criers then march
forth, announcing that the day for the
official kissing a arrived. The kiss
ers then appear on the scene-and
Immediately get busy. Young and old,
rich and pool, fat and skinny, pretty
and otherwise-women all get a
smack.
The Fargo girls might insist they
don't want to be kissed-or that they
have private arrangements for oscula-
tion-less spectacular, but more ac-
ceptable. Still there might be a few
less fortunately situated who would
not seriously object to a transfer of
this popular Hungerford custom to
this city.
