But now it has been set to real mu-

This posthumous distinction to an

many years. 1t made its first real zap

are whistling it, singing it. humming
It, shouting it now. And every one is
willing to offer the orphan ditty a
home.
But 1t takes a long, lanky mountain
eer to render it most effectively. He
gives it the atmosphere, local color and
heart interest that the "city Teller"
fails to express. With the hill man
you can see the timid little houn' with
the reefed tail scurrying along yelping
at every kick. But any one who kicks
a houn' pup now is very unpopular.
Here are the two stanzas:
Every time I come to town
The boys start kickin' my dawg aroun'.
Makes no difference If he is a houn'.
They gotta quit kickin' my dawg aroun'.
Chaw de meat and save de bone.
Or Blue Neck lives on Tallhone.
Makes no difference If he is a houn'.
You gotta quit kickin' my dawg aroun'.
It is said that Speaker Clark is not
pleased with the "dawg song attach
ment to his candidacy. Governor Will
son has frowned down the ditty and
says that Mr.. Clark is welcome to it.
In the meantime Governor Hadley
of Missouri is having his troubles in
efforts to free his state from the pos
sibility Of having the song thrust upon
1t as the state anthem. He is dead set
against it and wants something that will
better bespeak the dignity of the state.
A committee has been at work at Co.
lumbia for some time listening to the
songs submitted. Governor Hadley is
to be consulted before a selection is
made, and he threatens to refer the
matter to the people themselves I'M

Appeal to tho Record.
Mrs. BOwser is not always polite
She should have let the figures stand
although she knew they ought to be

with:
"But I was consulting the family

Percx,s Visitor

Percy Snyder, the hlondlRe hiner- poet, who has quartz possessions in tho Twelvemile district, has the latest curves to hand out in the way of bear stories, says the Dawson News. Percy has cabin on his Ywelyemile property and when coming to town leaves few supplies there. On bis laSS trip away from the cabin Percy returned to find that grizzly had jumped the claim, taken possession of the cabio, and began to live like man. Percy found every evidenceoof the human habits of bruin.
 From all appearances the bear had slept in Percy's bed, and, after getting out, smothed back the covers and made the bed with all the care of an import ed chan bermaid.
 Not to be caught mapping at the wrong time, bruin had used Percy's alarm clock. Percy had an old ticker which would not run unless laid face downward. It was evident bruin had consulted the timepiece because the clock, when Percy returned, had been picked up and stood on edge, as de- corous and we'll behaved clock should be. Immediately the rheumatic old timepiece was put on the perpendicu- lar it refused to work, and Percy could determine from the position in which it shamefully held its hands in front of it's face that it had been consulted about the tenth hour and the thirteenth minute.
 Bruin also cut a nun Der of other civilized didos. He attempted to drink the oil out of the kerosene lamp, leav- ing the marks made by his incisors; had opened can of condensed milk with his fangs, and no doubt attempted to cook meal. This was plain from the fact that the stove had been tam- pered with, and flour, dried apples, beans, garlic and other ingredients for first. class mulligatawney were scat tered over the premises. The water pitcher was empty, but the towel prob ably was carried off swatbed around bruins head. The mirror showed by the paw prints that old grizzly had been admiring himself. Just why he went on such a jam boree is not known. If he had anything stronger than tea 1 Percy does not know where the visitor got it unless he used the dried apples to make brew of hootch after the style of the early Klondikers, for Percy never keeps anything in the house in bottle but pain killer. The bear left no card, but did kick up magnificent muss.
 Percy says the previous bear callers at his place were too large to get through the window, so went oE and got cub, boosted him in and had the youngster throw the goods out. Then the gang walked off with the piunder.

The Waskey dredge was delivered at Bethel recently by the. steamer Delhi, and there has been an almost constant stream of machinery into the country since early spring.
