And the whole family liked him, and he lived with us all these years, up to a few days ago, when he left us, and it made us all sad, very sad. He was one of the family, he bad helped raise our children, he come to our house the same time Jin:, our youngest, did. I was working in Zelgfelds famous Midnight Frolic, (the first all midnight shows). We were living in a little home we had rented across the road from Fred Stones lovely summer home In Amityville, Long Island. We went there to be near Fred and his family. We bad a wonderful time that summer. Jim and Dopey came that summer, Jim was a baby boy, and Dopey was a little round bodied, coal black pony, with glass eyes, the gentlest and greatest poney for grown ups or children anyone ever saw. I dont know why we called him Dopey. I guess it was because he was always so gentle and Just the least bit lazy. Anyhow we meant no dissrespect to hira. Outside of a pony I had in the Indian Territory when I was a boy, and that put me in the exhibition roping business, he was called Comanche, afterwards became very famous at steer roping contests, in fact Jim Hopkins broke a worlds record on him, why along pretty near next to him in affection was Dopey. "Chapel" a bay horse that I owned and used in all my movie chases down steep hills in the old eilent days (and that I know saved my life many times) I still have him. These and various others that at different times I have become attached too, were all more of my own individual ponies, but Dopey belonged to the family. Our children learned to ride at two, and during liis lifetime he never did a wrong thing to throw one off, or do a wrong thing after they had fallen off. He couldent pl:k em uo, but he would stand there and look at em with a dissgusted look for being so clumsy as to fall off. He never kicked or stepped on one of them in his life, and he was a young hone when I first got him from Zack Miller. I used to sit on him by the hour, and try new rope tricks, and he never batted an eye. Then I learned some trick riding, such as vaulting, and drags, and all that. In fact he was the only one I could ever do it on. Then in 1919 we went to California to go in the movies. Dopey and another pet pony we had acquired for Mary, they occupied the best palace horse car by express. Then I would come back to New York to work another year for Mr. Zeigfeld in his Folliee, and the first thing loaded would after a year In New be Dopey. Then York back to the movies again, and back would go Dopey, Dodo, and Chappel, along with any others we had acquired. One year I took Dopey In a Follies baggage car, on the whole tour with the show, and kept him in the rid ing academys and practiced roping every day with h him. Charley Aid-ric- a cowboy used to ride him, and run by for my fancy roping tricks. He has been missed with a loop times and more maby more caught times than any horse living. In picture called the "Roping Fool" where I did all my little fancy catches in slow motion, he was the pony that run for them. He was coal black, and I had my ropes whitened and the catches showed up fine. In a private tan bark ring we had In our old Beverly Hills home, all the children learned trick riding on him, standing up on him running, vaultipi, and would use him with Dodo jo ride Roman, all allowed because I knew they were on gentle ponies. He has been set for four or five years, hasent had a bridle on him. Fat as a pig. When nineteen years of you and your chlldrens life ie linked bo closely with a horse, yon can sorter Imagine our feelings. We still have quite a few old favorites left, but Dopey was different He was of the family. He raised our children. He learned em to ride. He never hurt one in his life. He did everything right. Thats a reputation that no human can die with. Goodbye Dopey, from Mama, Dad, Bill, Mary and 'Jim. a little 1934, McNntkt Syndic all. Imt. Money-Wo- By JOHN BLAKE Surprise 1'ossiLle I to Find the Right Job To the announcement that she would pay nothing Great Britain frankly adds that "It would be useless, and therefore unwise," even to attempt negotiations. Little Finland, on the contrary. announces her Intention to pay the Installment. Napoleon called England "a nation of shopkeepers," which annoyed the English and was Inaccurate. Shopkeepers make It a habit to pay their debts In order to keep their credit. Two life convicts have earned freedom by submitting to medical experiment, with "tuberculosis vac cine," or "preventive." The "preventive" with which the doctors have experimented on Carl Ericson and Mike Schmidt for months past. Is not a tuberculosis cure. It prevents those Inoculated from contracting tuberculosis, as ordinary vaccination prevents contracting smallpox. Doctors of the National Jewish hospital, who have worked on the new serum for 15 years past, warned the convicts that they would risk their lives in the experiment, now proved successful. Both braved death In hope of possible recovery of liberty as the reward. They have won the reward. On both sides of the Atlantic attempts are made to discourage murder. President Roosevelt takes the lead here, summoning all forces of the country state, national and local to fight private crime, banditry, traffic in narcotics, lynchlngs, kidnaping, plain ordinary murder. Private crime worries us here. nj , m m ;r;v.:, 5, i " jt'i i M' h .! J- - St i ? w . j :u sixty-fiv- e years A.
