Somebody poisoned my dog today,
Though he never did any one in.
And so he is through with his

And his wagglety tail is still.

And only a mongrel. too:
But | loved him. and he loved me
As people and dogs may do.
Nothing on earth could disturb his
trust
Or his love and his faith befog.
And now he lies here In the dust
Somebody poisoned my dog.
He crawled to my feet and licked
my hand,
And then with a gasp he died,
And though some people can't UNI
derstand-
patted his head and cried.
For IL isn't funny to lose a friend
From off this earthly cog.
And he was loyal until the end

But here he lies-his race is run
Though his body's still soft and

COW CHOKES TO DEATH
 ON LACERATED TONGUE

Dennard, Ark, Nov. 27.-Sam | Treece, a farmer near Owis Cove, Ark, recently lost COW, and as her death was a surprise to him, MT. Treece decided to investigate the cause. He first examined her stom- ach for dry murrh or poison from frost bitten cane. His investiga- tions were unsuccessful and he gave up hopes of finding the cause of the fatality, when he thought that an examination of her mouth might lead to solution of the mystery.
 As he opened the cows mouth he observed blood clotted on her lower jaw and on the inside of the mouth. He inserted his hand to find the cause of the blood and could not locate her tongue. Instead, he found a large piece of sharp edged glass resting on the salivary glands. He removed the glass and searched deeper in her mouth for her tongue. He was much surprised to find the tongue badly lacerated and nearly cut in two; the tongue had folded back and in the cows effort to swallow it she had become stran- gled and choked before she was re- lieved.
 The only solution MT. Treece had to offer was that the COW had prob ably found the glass with a small quantity of salt on it and had ta- ken it into her mouth to ~btain the salt She had moved about in her mouth, working it back and forth, until it had nearly severed her tongue.

HE ROUNDS UP HIS SHEEP
 WITH A FLYING MACHINE

Omaha, Neb, Nov. 27.-It's all off with the old time sheep herder Hereafter, in order to be up to date a sheep herder must tend his flock soaring around them with an aero plane.
 Jim Dickie of Thermopolis, Wyo., has set the pace. He has just re- turned from the Pacific coast, where he saw wonderful demonstrations with aeroplanes and was prompted to order one of the latest models. Today Dickie is soaring over the plains of Wyoming looking over his various flocks of sheep.
 "The lambs and some of the ewes were little afraid at first" said one of Dickie's herders, flor they thought the old man was a mon- ster eagle floating around looking for tender meat, but now they are getting used to it.'
 Dickie is an old time sheep man of Wyoming. He has tens of thous- ands of sheep scattered all over the ranges of Wyoming. He expects to visit the various flocks and their respective herders once or twice a year, but the flocks have grown so numerous that each year this has hecome greater task
 There is nothing quite equal to an aeroplane as convenience, said Dickie, flor a man in my line of business with so many flocks to visit. Some of the flocks are twenty-five to fifty miles apart. The country is so rough that an is out of the question. I have been going horseback all the time to maintain general super vision over the various camps, but henceforth the flyer for me, see!"
 So saying he jerked the throttle, the gasoline engine began to sput- ter and roar, the great white bird glided off the buffalo grass, and in a moment the flock master was gliding high over the remote buttes of the Wyoming plains.
