dings. When old DR.. Harding, the
nominees father, moved to Marion
from Caledonia, about twenty miles
away, there were only about $500
persons living in this community,
which now numbers about 10000.
The family had a pug dog, of which
they were very fond. The Senator's
brother, now nerve specialist, prac-
ticing at Columbus, was then a tiny
youngster, and this dog was his es-
pecial property. He called it Puddy,
probably because he could not pro-
nounce "puggy."
The first streetcar line was built
in Marion, and its tracks were laid
past the Harding home. On one Of
the very first trips of the solitary
car of the company Puddy, hard
of hearing, like most pug dogs, failed
to heed the clamor of the motor
mans bell. One hind leg was crushed
just below the knee Joint. Little
Georges howls were almost as loud
as those Of his pet, and when the
dogs dwindled into means from
weakness, the boy continued to yell
Preparations to end the dogs suf-
ferings with chloroform increased
the boys frantic grief. DR.. Harding,
to quiet his son, agreed to save the
dogs life. Administering an an@s-
thetic, he amputated the crushed
portion of the limb. While the stump
was healing the dog hoped about
on three legs, and when the short
ened member was no longer sensi-
tive DR.. Harding carefully whitfield
out a wooden leg and fastened it
with leather~covered wires to Pud-
dy's stump.
The artificial limb was huge sue
cess, and little George declared the
dog was as good as new" Puddy
seemed to think so, too, for he con-
tinued to thump, thump, thump his
way about Marion for number of
years, turning up his black nose at
ordinary dogs without wooden legs,
and was still proud Of it when he
finally died of old age.
Two men in history greatly ad-
mired by Warren G. Harding are
Napoleon Bonaparte and Alexander
Hamilton. In proof of his admi-
ration Of the first of these it has

spots, and when he stood up on his
hind legs he was as tall as Mr..
Harding. That dogs affection for
Warren Harding was something to
talk about. Dogs always take to
him. Their judgment is good.
Guarded the Office
Jumbo used to lie outside Mr.
Harding's Office at The Star, and if
anybody went into the Office that he
didn't like the smell of or if he was
at all suspicious of them, he went
inside with them. He would stand
near them, and if they made what
he thought was a wrong move or
spoke roughly in their talk with
Mr.. Harding that dog would take
hold Of their coat and give al sig
nificant tug or growl OF else he
would take their hand in his mouth.
Sometimes he terrified people He
wasn't vicious. 1t was the only way
he could show people that he was
ready to go the limit to defend his
master from harm. He was mar
velous.
Zone Sunday we came home and
Jumbo was ill. He gave Mr.. Har-
ding pitiful look and fell over in a
heap, dead. Some one had poisoned
him."
George N. Kinds, a writer on
The Star, who has been there since
Harding joined the paper, in 1887,
says that among the articles his
boss wrote two are impressed on
his memory. One was an obituary
of a Marion County sheriff, the
other was tribute after the death
Of Jumbo.

These particular tourists were
lucky. Not every visitor gets
word with Senator Harding, because
the procession Of callers is almost
uninterrupted, and there is much
work for him to do, speeches to
write, letters to answer, politicians
to confer with. This time, however,
he was crossing from his house to
his headquarters next door, nor
mally the home of George B. Chris
tian jr., his secretary.
Bareheaded, an unlit stogie half
consumed in his mouth, the nominee
saw the tourists at the curbstone
and calling out "How de do,"
walked over to shake hands. An
enthusiastic motor tourist himself,
Senator Harding was soon engaged
in a discussion Of the condition Of
the roads between Marion and
Akron. In the middle of sentence
he saw the dog and broke off to
greet him with:
Hello, old fellow"
In few minutes the dog and
the Senator were fast friends, and
if he seemed to neglect the dogs
owners they didn't appear to mind
in the ecstasy of pride that their
pet should attract the favorable
notice Ct "the next President"
When they drove on toward Akron
and the Senator had started into his
office the dog was standing on his
hind legs looking back, his stub tail
wagging and his eyes shining with
regret.
Some one asked the nominee if he
planned to keep a dog if he went to
the White House. Genially ignoring
the succession of "ifs," Senator Har-
ding spoke:
Another dog? Domestic felicity
interferes. Mrs. Harding contends
she can't have her feelings wounded
by the process of becoming attached
to and then losing another dog. We

sometimes they display uncanny
powers. There was an old dog, a
mongrel, that belonged to one of the
storekeepers here in Marion The
dog had grown decrepit, very much
as Senator had. One day his owner,
speaking to couple of friends who
were observing his condition, said:
Well, he isn't much use any
more. I guess III have to kill him.
THAT dog got up and, with tail
and ears dropping, trotted out of the
place. They never did see him again
or learn what became of him"
Mrs. Harding found time a while
later to tell how Senator had joined
the Harding family. She had super
vised the early preparations of sad
dlecolored Inez McWhorter for
luncheon, answered myriad of let
ters from strange correspondents in
all corners Of the country, and would
have enjoyed brief breathing spell
but for her half-formed belief that
there was some little task she had
forgotten to perform.
"He came up to me in the hotel
here one day." she began. "My
father owned the hotel, but it was
kept by D. U. Kesler. He was
great booster and had gone to Co.
lumbus. Let's see, who was candi-
date for Governor then? 1t was be-
fore Nash. 1t was Asa Bushnell, of
Springfield. That's when it was.
We'd been married not great while.
"Kesler went to Columbus, and this
magnificent Newfoundland dog fol-
lowed him. He was inky black, with
a white breast. The dog just adopt
ed him, and Kesler brought him back
to Marion after his inquiries seemed
to establish that the dog was owner
less.
To the Hotel for Food
Sometimes Mr.. Harding and l
went to the hotel for luncheon in
those days, and one day this beautiful
dog came up to me. He was Won
der and followed US. He went to
The Star with US, and gave every in
dication Of believing that he was our
dog. Every day. though, he went
back to the hotel to be fed. He was
a powerful eater.

belonged. The hotel man finally
said
