FOLLOWS HIS MASTER

CHEMISTS and experts might ex-
plain it in half dozen ways and
scoffers might dismiss it as Just a coin
cidence. Yet those who love dumb ami
mails will see something more than lust
coincidence or scientific occurrence in
the death of Dan, aged dog whose
master, Major Archibald Johnson end
ed his life this week.
Dan" found his masters body. His
bowling gave the alarm to others in the
house
A day or two later neighbors found
the dog lying in nearby field in stupor
He had gone off by himself to await the
end and follow his master in death as
he had followed him in life.
He had not eaten since his masters
body was found and refused all advances
made to him by others in the household
His master was gone and for Dan" life
was not worth while.
Such devotion, remarkable in dogs and
other animals, ought to inspire men to
treat them better. Instead we frequent
ly read of men putting out poison for
dogs and more recently of alleged men
giving drugs to race horses to make
them run faster.
We are told that when dog is dead
he is dead and that is the end of them.
Not so with humans. Yet who can dis
pute with any degree Of authenticity the
belief held by Indians and other so-called
savages that there must be something
more than a grave for an animal which
can be so faithful?
Who knows that Dan" has not re-
joined his master in some unknown
sphere across the Great Divide? His
devotion and faithfulness will make ami
NAL lovers like to think that he has.

Waldbsum, Philadelphia lawyer,

mans law. In the Hanzel case, the
farmers need $500 for appealing the
decision. How can the farmers raise
it, when many of them have no
bread in their Kitchens? Slippery as
many lawyers are, I have not found
one slippery or clever enough to show
anybody how the law as it now
stands can be used to help the farm

evictions and fight for relief; here
l am lawyer for the farmers and

This was the information given by
the Yonkers General Hospital re-

New York-bound bus with his wife,
two children and his sister.
Eye witnesses repotred that three

was beaten numerically were made
by Mrs. Anna Seena of 996 Aldus St.
and Mrs, Rose Einhorn of 1884 Inter
vale Ave, the Bronx.
The vicious attack upon Ali was
blandly explained away by Police
Chief William J. Byrne who said that
the cops figured he was Commu-

Concluding his oily alibi, the chief
said that Ali hurt himself when he
fell down and bumped his head on a
rock as he attacked the officers who
merely acted in self-defense."

by the National Committee for the
Defense of Political Prisoners held its

Granville Hicks acted as chairman.
Obed Brooks, Mrs. Hicks, Jack West
and Mrs West are the other men,

cation. They were joined by John
Hermann and Josephine Herbst for

The delegation had invited farm

county agent and the dean of the
National Farm School and the I'm
employed Councils of Philadelphia
and Allentown and Ardsley, members
of which had helped the farmers in
their fights against sheriff sales and

except one deputy sheriff, didn't have
the nerve to show up. The deputy
sheriff sneaked out at the beginning
of the hearing.
Baumi, a poultry farmer, showed
