A B TO II

The most emarkable aspect of tn
situation among the Republican pre-
sidential possibilities is the heightened
position of Senator Borah of Idaho
There has been no political talk il
any Newspaper more interesting or ac-
curate than this from the Boston
"Transcript." Persons who live out
side Of New England may need to be
told that the transcript" is the sober
three cent evening paper of Boston
and is supposed to express the views
of about the most cautious and careful
conservatives in the country:
What does this call for Borah
mean? 1t is coming from all parts
of the country. II is apparently spon-
taneous. Here is a Senator who has
neither an organization nor abundant
wealth. He has not announced his
candidacy for the presidency; many
doubt whether he will. Yet hundreds

discussing Borah and many Of them

There may be several reasons for
raising calves. First, the dairy prod

The fall OF the year is the time
when the farmer may use his spare
time to a good advantage taking care
OF calves. II is unwlse TO have them
come too late IN the fall, as the winter
will be against them. Too much care
cannot be given that they have a clean

house announced that the family wa
stirring. His back bruised, his fee
bleeding, Bobby limped off toward Ed
inburgh.
That night, sore and almost ex,
hausted, he started for the inn to get
food before slipping into the kirkyard
When he had nearly reached the door
he heard the bells announcing that the
gates were to be closed. He darteo
away, slipped past the caretaker and
hid under a slab of stone. When all
was quiet he crawled painfully out
and lay down on his masters grave.
Snow began to fall, and the air be-
came keen and biting, but the faithful
Bobby did not desert his post by Aud
Jocks grave.
And so for IA years the shaggy
little terrier remained by his masters
grave day and night, leaving it only
to get food at the inn and at the care
takers house. Sometimes he would go
out into the town for exercise, but he
always returned before night. At
first he had to hide underneath a slab
of stone near Jocks grave, but as the
months slipped by the directors of the
kirk became interested in the mourn
ing terrier, and he was allowed to
come and go as he chose. He became
the pet of all the children in the ten
ements near the kirkyard. Before he
came the windows in these squalid
dwellings, were so grimy that one
could not see through them; but soon
they were cleansed and polished that
the BARNS might look out and see their
Bobby on the grave.
One day there was great excitement
in the neighborhood of Greyfriars. A
campaign was being made against
homeless dogs, and Bobby's life was in
danger. Many interceded for him,
and the lord provost became interest
ed in his story. And the children,
who had barely enough to eat, saved
every penny they could get until they
had amassed seven shillings for Bob
by's tax, and these were taken to the
lord provost. Lord Glenormiston re-
ceived the ragged little BARNS with
moist eyes. He lifted Bobby up and
spoke that all might understand.
"Are we kennin' what it is to gle
the freedom of the toon to grand folk?'
They all had heard how the nobility
were given the keys of the city as
mark of respect, relic of the days
when Edinburgh was inclosed in
wall. Then the lord provost drew a
small collar from his pocket. Riveted
fast in the middle of it was brass
plate with the inscriptions:
