DOGS LONG WATCH
Waits for Master Six Years and is
Badly Hurt.

Waits for Master Six Years and il
Badly Hurt.
Shep, the dog that has waited ir
front of the Daily bank six long years
for his master, is dead. He was rur
over by an automobile and so serious
ly injured that he was shot.
Six years ago Shops master. q
sheep herder, came to town after q
season on the range. He brought the
dog with him. Shep waited outside
the bank while his master went inside
to cash a check While inside the man
was stricken with apoplexy, placed or
a stretcher and taken to a hospital ir
an ambulance.
1t did not look natural to Shep, but
he followed the ambulance to the hos
pital and waited outside for several
days. The master died a few hours
after reaching the hospital. Shep saw
the funeral procession, but it was un-
usual and he still waited. Then he re.
membered that his master had gone
tually seen him, so he went there ant
curled up on the front steps and wait
ed.
For months he would look up et'
pectantly every time some one came
out Of the building, but his hope he
gan to wane. In spite Of this he KEEP
constant vigil and has made the from
of the bank his home for six years
only leaving long enough to get som1-
thing to eat.
He grew old and deaf during hi:
long wait. Each year President T. j
Bowman of the bank, paid his tax tt
the city, but he still waited for the
sheep herder who did not come out Of
the bank. For the last few month:
Shep had been stiffening with age 81

der our feet. The new constitution
safeguards white supremacy In the
only way 1t can be done. but It is only
effective so long as the white people
are united. A split Is just as danger
Gus now as In 1880; In fact, more 80,
for then the whole unwieldy, ignorant
black mass had to be handled. I sup
pose that there are now some 25, 900
registered negro voters. They are In

turned the scale the other way.
Now wish to 60 on record as OPP

negro down In the general election be-
ing used In the primary to hold the
white people down.
Another thing, / consider 1t dan
ger to entrust the work Of primary re-
form In the hands Of those who would
begin on the basis Of exclusion. I hate
to say X, but you know that there Is
little coterie In this state who would
like to exclude enough people from
the primary to insure. their control.
Why, my friends, have heard OF one
man who said he would not decide
whether he would be o candidate for
office or not until he saw whether
these constitutional restrictions were
put into the primary.
Instead Of exclusion, let our policy
be participation. Let every white man
but one.

There flashed still another Of the
swift, Sly glances, and the lips Of the
girl parted as If she would speak. But
she did not; only her head sagged even
lower on her breast and the shrunken
form grew yet more shrunken.
1T doesn't suit you? Good! I was
in hopes it wouldn't. So. here's an
other plan. Suppose you could &c

There came a tensing Of the relaxed
form. and the head lifted little. sc
that the girl could look at her ques-
toner.

said simply, IF you really want It,"
The wretched girl sat suddenly
erect, and her words came eagerly.
"Oh, dol" And now her hungry
gaze remained fast on the face Of the
woman who offered her salvation.
Then 1 have just one thing to say

very gravely, quickened with hope.

smile of approval. Wait a minute,
she added and left the room.
Huh! Pretty soft for some peo-

sniff.
Mary returned soon. In her hand
she carried a roll Of bills. She went
to the girl and held out the money.

But, without warning, a revulsior
seized on the girl. She shrank agair

WITTpENNITES DENY
TALE OF PARTY DESERTlON

Rumors that the followers of former
Mayor II. Otto Wittpenn, of Jersey
City, would not support the Demo-
cratic candidate because Wittpenn
had been turned down were denied
last night by Assemblyman John A.
Matthews. an erstwhile Wittpennite.
Matthews declared his loyalty 20
Governor James r. Fielder at a meet
ing of the Fielder League OF Essex
County last night in the Kinney
building.
The assemblyman announced tnat
everyone knew that Wittpenns
chances for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation are dead and that 1t behooves
the Democrats to work together for
the election of Governor Fielder. The
Wittpennites realized that Fielder
was the next best man when Presi-
dent Wilson refused to indorse the
former Jersey City mayor, asserted
Matthews, and. like true Democrats,
would rally to the support of the
acting governor The speaker de-
clared that Fielder would serve the
people justly and would not be sub
servient to anybody.
Members of the league discussed
plans for the campaign, and 1t was
decided to hold meetings every Tues
day night until the primaries are
over. In each district men will be
selected to promote the sentiment for
Governor Fielder until the close Of
the campaign.
