About three o'clock one morning a
few days ago, Nero came to the bed
side of Mr.. and Mrs. Dolloff and
awakened them He tried to get them
up but Mr.. Dolloff told Nero to go
back and lie down. Nero obeyed as is
his custom. Very soon, however, he
came again and this time being more
insistent, Mr.. Doiloff decided to get up
and investigate To his consterna-
ton, he found upon opening the cell
lar door that the cellar was light as
day, the chimney all d mass or flames.
Help was Immediately called by phone
and being thus early warned, the
several men tore away the woodwork
around the chimney and saved the
house from burning.
1t seems that last fall when the cool
days came, Mr.. Dolloff thought Nero
should have a warmer place in which
to sleep so he made the dog "trundle
bed" and placed it by the chimney in
their sleeping room. and the neighbors
do say that Mrs. Dolloff gave him the
best bedding in the house. Having
this bed where it was, in all prooa-
bility saved their home and their lives,
for had Nero been in the shed, re-
moved from the scene of the fire, who
can tell the result?
1t was only last fall that marauders
stole a valuable pair of oxen from Mr..
Dollofs pasture near the house and
at that time Nero tried his best to get
into the house or out of doors, out be-
ing fastened into the shed he had to
bide his time and the honor of way
laying the thieves fell to the dog at
the next farm house belonging TO oral
Dolloff.
Nero is full blood st, Bernard two
years old and weighs nearly 200
pounds. He is very handsome speci-
men of one of the noblest breeds.

Faithful Dog Nero
Saved His Friends.

Proud indeed are the owners of
Nero, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Dolloff of Mt
Vernon. Everything that the heart OF
dog could wish has been done for
Nero since, in early puppyhood, he
came from Massachusetts to live with
them. And now the neibhbors are
wondering what more they can do for
him since he has done so rich for
them.

eating a pleasure.
Thousands take it for spring loss Of

Of considerable interest as 1t passed

q short time ago through the towns
In Nebraska, South and North Dakota.
After some weeks Of strenuous travel
ing in this way, Mr.. J. F. Jensen made
the overland trip from Jameson, Me-
braska, and with his little family made
the regular customs entry at North
Portal, In the province Of Saskatche-
wan. Their destination was Willow
Bunch, q district that Mr.. Jensen
had selected as one In which 1t was
possible for him to work out his for.
tune. He located on q good half Sec
ton Of land, and intended putting ON
It some cattle that would fatten on
the wild prairie grass that grows so
luxuriously In that district. In add.
ton to this his purpose was to cult.
vate portion Of 1t and raise wheat,
oats. barley or fax. In short, O life
devoted to mixed farming was what
he had in view and It is easy to un-
derstand that he will make success
Of It, and in year or so will attach
some more land holdings.
Although his beginning may be
small, 1t may safely be said that Mr..
! Jensen. like thousands Of others who
have begun life in western Canada on

will prosper. He will not be far from q

~=Ssprobably the most united

world Senior Da Cana announced
that the international, side of the
conflict had been settled, thanks to
the mediators and that $50 far, we

The optimism expressed by the
ambassador of Brazil and his two
colleagues does not appear, however,
to be felt by any one else connected
with the mediation conferences. The
American delegates are no more
pleased than the Mexicans at the
sudden decision of the mediators to
abandon their efforts in favor Of
peace in Mexico. 1t is known here
that the Washington government was
quite willing to keep its representa-
tives here until a solution had been
found, and both Justice Lamar and

tinue their work until very vestige of

MEDIAT0RS DISBAND;
PROBLEMS UNSOLVED
Hope Virtually Abandoned For Settle
ment of Mexico's Internal
Troubles.

Niagara Falls, Ont, July 1.-The
three South American diplomats who
undertook, two and half months
ago, to seek a solution to the Mexican
problem, brought their work to an
end today without having found that
solution. The closing of the media
tion conference was marked by a
formal luncheon given by the media
tors to the newspaper correspondents
who have attended the proceedings.
All the members of the American
and Mexican delegations were pres
ent.
The formal statement by which
Ambassador Da Cana of Brazil and
Ministers Naon and Suarez of Argen-
tine and Chill virtually admitted
that they had abandoned hope took
the form of a speech made by the
Brazilian envoy. After declaring that
he and his colleagues had never dis
