Bat for the dog lover every day la (lie year Is a "dog day," marked by the warmth of his affection for tht animal which is traditionally known as "man's best friend." That msn recognises this fact Is shown by the numerous Instances' In which he ha paid signal honor to certain Individ-uals of this race of what Is often so Inappropriately referred to as "dumb animals," There Is the case of Sergeant Major Jlgga, the mascot of the United States marine corps, who died on January 0 of this year and was burled with ftitl military honor Jy hi friends, who are proud to call themselves "devil dogs." There Is the case of Stubby, the In-ternationally famous mascot of the A. H. T., veteran of four major en-gagement, wearer of one wound tripe, and recipient of numerous med-als and decoMtlons, who also died re-cently but who ha been mounted and given a place of honor In the Ameri-can Red Cross museum at Washington. There I Rufus, the Newfoundland hero, who accompanied u Wescott Reck, the "Samaritan of Death Val-ley," on all of his errands of merey . g, Into that earthly Inferno to rescue prospectors perilling from thirst and who Is honored with hi master, since their deaths, with a monument In the city of Loa Angeles. Who hi forgotten Hallo, the Alas-kan husky, who won fume In Ills dash to Nome two year ago a the leader of dog team bearing the diphtheria sernm to the plague stricken city? Ac-cording to pre dispatches, Ha I to Is te hare a permanent home In the Clereland soo for the rest of his life Instead of leading the wandering life of a vaudeville trouper or a sideshow exhibit But monuments are not the only en-during memorials to the dog's Oddity to man. Another memorial, and per-haps the most famous of all Is the eulogy once pronounced by Senator George O. Vest of Missouri, which, de-livered before a Jury In that state famous for Its hound dogs, has been . reprinted In newspapers and repeated ' as a popular bit of American oratory more times, since It was uttered fifty years ago, than any other speech of Its kind. Famous as Is this eulogy, there has gathered around It a cloud of myth nd tradition which has obscured the facts of the case and the circum-stances wider which It was ottered. The true story of the lawsuit over the killing ot Old Drum, the noun' dog, made famous by. Vest's eulogy, was recently made public by Will O. Ter-rll- l, editor of the Rocky Mountain Her-ai- d at Denver, Colo., who was a i nephew of the two litigants In the case and who Is therefore In a posi-tion to know the facts. Mr. Frrill's story follows : This hound case seems to be develop-ing In the Kast Into aa much of a myth aa those exaaarerated tales of Jesse James. The litigants In this ease were two unoles of mine. There have been many veralons of the but the Inalde narrative, family atory la that the killing of Old Drum really waa an ao- - h .....I. . - . a Senator Vest's Tribute The beat friend a man ha In the world may turn agalnet him and become hi enemy.

The body of Drum waa hid and later found, and, aa ne explanation waa made, the legal row began. The Hornsbya were from Ten-neaa-and North Carolina, and the Rurdena from Kentucky and Virginia. Both aldea were stubborn. Burden aued Hornaby November I, 116, be fore Juatlce of the Peace George Nor man. The Jury hung. The caae waa tried again, and again the Jury. hung. At another hearing In January, 1170, Burden obtained a verdict of 121 agalnet Hornaby In a Jury trial. Hornaby appealed to the Court of Common Pleaa, where the Jury gave a verdict In his favor. On May 1, 1170, a motion for a new trial waa granted. The original claim by Burden for dam agaa waa tSO, and In the new trial In the Circuit court, Burden waa given a Jury verdict for $50, aa waa flret de-manded, and Drum, the old. hound won. It was In thla later litigation that the big legal guns appeared. Uncle Lon Hornaby employed Crlttenijen A Cockrall and Uncle Charley retained Phllllpa A Veat and Elliott BlodgetC Thla waa Col. Thomaa T. Crittenden, later governor of Mlaaourt, and Colonel Cockrell, later United Statee aenator from Mlsnourl. Blodgett became gen-eral aolicitor of the North Mlaanurl railroad, afterward of the Wabaah eyatetn. Elliott was alao an eminent lawyer. Phllllpa and Veat ware dlatln- - gulshed In their profeseion and later prominent In the publlo aervtoe. John P. Phllllpa became United Statea Judge at Kanaaa City, and George O. Veat, United Statea senator from MlaaourL Such waa the array of learned counsel when the caae waa tried before a Jury September tS, 1870. Judge Foater P. Wright waa the prealdlng judge. Blod-gett 'opened for Drum, followed by Crittenden and then Cockrell In oppo aitlon, all three making brilliant epeechee. Oratory ran high. Then Veat apoke and won the caae for the hound, for by thla time the tntereat centered more In Drum than either Uncle Charley, the plaintiff, or Uncle Lon, tha defendant Vest' apeech har become a claaate on the dog In American literature. In tha caae of old Drum who waa acci-dentally ahot with an overcharge ot beana, when he waa dlaturblng the pana of milk at the old home place of my grandfather, Brlnkley Hornaby. Uncle Lon appealed to the Supreme court of Mlaaourt. So much for the facts In the myth story ao often told, aa to the parties Involved, the atory of the poor, frlend-laa- a man whoae hound waa ruthlaaaly killed, and the remarkable atatement that the plaintiff demanded ?200 for the death of Drum and the jury awarded him 300. w.wvu ma icbuu ui an overcnarge or Mean In a shotgun which waa "plant-ed" to Rive him a good acare. If prop- er explanations had been offered, the whole affair might have been settled amicably, but the explanations were neglected and as a result two families were Involved In a bitter court feud and the hound caae became famoua. The aquabble came Into publlo notice when Leontdas Hornaby, my mother's brother, waa accuaed by Charlea Bur-den, who bad married my mother'e ale-ta- r, of having killed Hornaby' favorite hunting deir. Drum.- Both families were ,, or the case never would hive been tried again and air"ln'nd carried to the Su-preme eourt of iif'aaourl In lengthy and expenalve lltlg.ttlon. Drum waa aa popular at the Hornaby plaoe In Johnston-county- , Mtaeourl, aa at the farm of hla master, Charlea Bur-den, who lived nearby. Drum would go over to the Hornabya and during thoae vlalts waa often used by Unole Lon and othera for hunting. Game was then abundant In that part of Mia-aou- rl, which had been much deaolated by the Civil war. Some animal, wild or tame, waa dla-turblng the pana of milk at the Horna-bya; finally It waa discovered that Drum waa the guilty one. Uncle Lon, aa I have heard the atory, told or aug-gest-to one of the younger members of the family, that he load a ahotgun with beana and pepper old Drum with a ahot. It so happened that the ahot-gun was overloaded, or the range too close, end Instead of giving Drum a good "peppering," tha hound waa killed. There waa no Intention at all, aocordlng to thla atory, to kill Drum. Thla atory about a poor man losing his favorite hound through the wicked act of anotjier la Baatem myth. Tha mistake waa that Uncle Charley was not informed of the accidental stands by him In prosperity and ; In poverty, In health and In sick-ness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the anow drive fierce-ly, If only he may b near hi master's tide. Ha will kiss the hand that ha no food to offer; he will lick the wound and ore that com In encounter with the roughnes of the world. He guard the 'deep of hi pauper master a If he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation fall to piece, he I a constant In hi love a tha sun in Its jour-ney through the heaven. If fortune drive the master forth an outcast In th world, friendless and homelest, the faithful dog ask no higher priv-ilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against dan-ger, to fight against his enemlee. And when th lat scene of all come and death take hi mat-ter to It embrace and hi body I laid away In the cold ground, no matter If all other friends pursue their way; there by th grave aid wilt tha noble dog be found, hi head between hi paw, hi eye sad, but open In alert watchfulness, faithful and true even In death.

Authentic report has It that Jess 'Sweetser of the 81wanoy Country club, former British and American amateur champion, Is practically through with tournament golf. Not for this season alone, but for all time. From friends of the Slwanoy "see" It was learned that Jess has decided to follow In the footsteps of Miss Joyce Wethered, former champion of Great Britain. Miss Wethered an-nounced more than a year ugo that tournament golf would see her no more. Sweetser is understood to hare assured J. Suffers Taller of Newport that he will tee up In the annual golf mashle Invitation at the latter' pri-vate links on August B. He also told friends that be Intends to compete in the United States amateur champion ship, which gets under way at the M4nlkahda Golf club, Minneapolis, on August 22. But Sweetser also has told friends that the strain of competitive golf of the big league variety is not worth the candle. It will be recalled that the Slwanoy "ace" contracted a seri-ous Illness while competing In Eng-land last year aud only recently did he recover auitk-ientl- to return to his desk. "Yon cannot begin to Imagine the strain of championship golf," began Sweetser. "You boy have little to worry about You go out for a friend-ly twosome or a foursome and all, or nearly all, Is laughter and song and conversation. "If you have a new club you try It out during the match. If it falls to bring the desired shot, you have done little to injure your reputation as a golfer. It Is Just another shot gone wrong. "When a champion or one who has been a champion plays over a links for the first time he is expected to lower the course record. Every shot has to be studied carefully, no mis-takes must be made, for every eye Is on .the champion. If he fails to shoot brilliant golf there Is much to-d- o about It" Alderman Runs Fast --IP r-- 'r-- ter v.. jam The photograph shows F. P.

"During the past 25 years," he ald, "the student nnd alumni bodies of the various colleges and universities of the country have grown enormously and the logical result Is that Interest In the affairs of these Institutions has also grown."
