Same thing applies to our modern pugilists. Tell one of their managers you know where his bozo can get a fight and he gives you cigar that someone gave him.

National attraction which began a
two day engagement at the Colonial
Theatre yesterday. It Is a MASTER
piece Of realistic portrayal Of Amer

the bigger and better pictures to-

The audience which attended the
opening performance gave vent to its
approval by applauding vigorously
when the last scene had faded away.
1t was one Of the best pictures that
this town had seen in long time.
The picture contains 50 many fea-
lures worthy Of favorable comment
that it is difficult to point out the
best. Story, cast. direction. photog-
raphy, settings-al are superb.

Story of Orphan
Dog That Has Been
Adopted by State

1t is said that "evcry dog has his
day" and 1T is known that many peO-
pie have their dogs: but it is seldom
that State has its especial dog ard
for which it holds itself responsible.
Maine has! Yes, sir, Maine has its
dog-and it is not good old Garry, the
Governors dog. either. 1t is Jack"
the faithful companion of the chill
dren at the Bath Military and Naval
Orphan Asylum.
Strange as it may seem. orphan
children love dog just as we'll as do
the children of the richest and finest
home in all America. And Jack is
much-lOvcd dOg-for which he re-
turns full measure to each and all of
the little folk of his institution. He,
too. is an orphan.
About year ago Jack dog had his
unhappiest day up to that time. 1t
was an unhappy day for all the kid
dies. too. Jack was in an accident
and received broken shoulder. He
was treated and cured and all went
well until the bill for medical at
tention to jack reached the State
Auditor. This same auditor loves
dogs, but Withall the scratching of
his head and the reading of the law,
no provision could be found for the
payment of the expenses of an Or
phan Dog" SO back went the bill
without approval.
Then good Major Kimball brought
the case to the attention of Governor
Baxter who smiled and said: mo
law? Guess the Governor is law
enough for that. What would an or
phan's home be without an orphan
dog! Let us settle for the children's
dog" The good State Auditor was
so glad that he O. K'ed that bill
quicker than the wag of little dogs
tail.
There's a sequel.
Last week poor little Jack had an
other accident. He ran into an auto
mobile without hurting it a bit, but
he required the attention OF a veter-
mary. The Bath Times reports.
children give party to help their
pet dog. Feared State would not pay
veternary's bill, SO they raised the
money"
These orphan children put on a
little play. THE Town Boy" and
netted SO. Jack was able to attend
and applauded his best. Governor
My dear Children:
"This morning I read in the Bath
paper that your pet dog had been run
over by an automobile and badly in
jured and 1 am very sorry to hear
this sad news. The paper. however,
reports that Jack" is improving and
1 am much pleased and hope he will
soon be entirely well.
I am glad to know that you raised
money to pay the veterinary's bill.
but assure you that the State would
have been glad to have done it for
Jack" is a part of your institution
and 1 am sure the good people of the
State will be glad to pay their share
of the vcterinary's bill.
I want you to buy a new collar for
him and have it marked with his
name of the Home and | am enclos-
ing you my check so that you will
have some money with which to do
this.
/ hope you all are we'll and when
I come to Bath I will call again to
see YOU.
