Some track walkers took advantage of Scotty'S ab sence to bury the object of the collie's affections. The last sad rites had been delayed because Scotty had obstinately refus ed to permit anyone to approach his dead companion. Nor would Scotty yield to the temptation of food and water offered him by kindly railroaders. Scotty had no faith in them, it seems. ..Had not men like them, in a big, thundering mountain of iron, belching forth smoke and spitting out volleys of sparks, taken away from him his very best friend? When the body of Scotty's stricken pal was spun from beneath the wheels of the locomotive last Wednesday, Scotty, with the devotion of his breed, took his stand by the mutilated carcass. All day Wednesday passing railroad men saw Scotty standing sentinel over his pal's body. Thursday many trainmen and yardmen came to visit the collie. They offered him tempting morsels of meat and water but, baring his long, fighting fangs, he repulsed their advances with savage growls. Scotty wanted to be left alone with his dead. Friday Scotty, shivering from long Inaction and haggard looking, still held to his post at the side of the mangled cur. He still persisted in refusing to permit anyone near him. Today a switch engine crew brought in the re port that Scotty- had left his post and it was the outspoken opinion of rail road men that the big collie must have met With some untimely end Only death ends such great love as was Scotty's. The only completed railroad in Ecu ador' is that between Guayaquil and Quito. A branch of this road to extend 190 miles from Curaray to Am bato is now under construction.

He was known to engineers, firemen, conductors and yard employes on railroad lines over a radius of several hundred miles. .. Everywhere that Jack went he was petted and tagged. Express checks and tags of all kinds were hung on his collar by admiring railroaders. Finally the burden became so heavy that Jack was not as nimble as when he first began hopping trains. It was these medals of honor which cped him recently to miss his footing and fall under the wheels. News of the accident was received with regret in the Richmond yards, which Jack really considered his home.

He was very cordially received by F. L. Behymer, editor of the Liberty Express, Union county's Democratic newspaper. Behymer informed Lontz that he would undoubtedly receive a very handsome vote in Union at the Democratic primary election. It was Behymer who figured very conspicuously two years ago in terminating the political career of Rep. Gray's brother, Judge George Gray.

Study the Columbus Fifth Wheel Only International Wagons Have It X7E can demonstrate how the Columbus fifth wheel makes the best wagon still better. Look over this strong, new feature, which you will find only on International wagons. The famous fifth wheel on the Columbus, made of strong, i ialleab!e iron, with large wearing surface, does these things: It distributes the strain on the front bolster and sand board; overcomes pitching of bolster, so preventing bending or breaking of the king bolt; does away with pulling up of front bolster and bending of circle iron. The top plates of the fifth wheel are widest, so the lower plates are protected and no dirt gets in between. The more you study the merits of this feature, the more you will appreciate its importance. Jones & WnHMaunros
