Ever since his young master mys teriously disappeared, October 8, he has had heart neither to gnaw a bona nor chase the neighbor's cat or chickens. In blood Jack is not an aristocrat. Not far back in his ancestry tnere must be a strain of hound and perhaps a touch of collie. Jack, let us admit, Is a mongreL He is a typical country kid's pup. That is, -he is loyal, faith ful and affectionate. ' "Wherever Billy was there also was Jack," said Mrs. Hercules Dansey, Jr., today. "I cannot understand how anybody could have kidnapped Billy with Jack around Jack was in the room stretched out on a rug with his nose near the stove. At every mention of Billy he would cast a' wistful eye at "Mrs. Dansey. Several times he jumped up. stretched himself in a listless way and went and sniffed at his young master's toys piled up In a corner. "Poor dog," went on Mrs. Dansey. "I believe he feels the loss of little Billv as much as I do. - He does not know what to do with himself now. When he Is not sleeping he Is wan flprlnsr around the house and yard whining. , 4 "Billy and Jack grew -up together, They are both two and a half years old. Jack is perhaps two weess tne older. They were always great chums, although they had their scraps. When Billy was a mere baby, he used to pull the dog's tail and Jack became a little afraid of him. Later the relation be came reversed. When Jack got bigger he wouldn't stand for such undigni fied treatment and used to playfully vwvwi -Rillv over when he got too rough.

Billy suddenly exclaimed, 'Me going to shoot bad man."

BLAC2r tIARIANNA WILL GET EXCELLENT FEDERAL OFFICE LEGISLATURE WILL ENDORSE OUR MO VE t West Florida Stands Solidly for the Best City on the Gulf and. Enough Additional Votes Will Be Found. By Lucky Baldwin) The decision of the State Commls- j sion to divide the Florida Centennial j into four parts is a positive victory ! for Pensacola. With the exception of ' a definite decision in favor of this city, no better action, from a Pensa cola standpoint, could have been taken. Under the act of the Legislature of 1919 which created the commission, a centennial site was to be chosen. This the Commission has. failed to do, and has gone on record as having so failed. Therefore Pensacola can now go ahead and plan her own show, the j real Florid Centennial. Throughout the length and breadth of West Florida sentiment is wholly for Pensacola. There is none for' Jacksonville or any other Florida city.. Pensacola can and should proceed im-, mediately to organize her Centennial.' In the meantime the State Commis-, sion must wait until the Legislature meets to get authority to conduct four i fairs instead of a Florida Centennial. And when the Legislature meets it ' will designate Pensacola. West Flor-' Ida will vote as one p.m fnr tho rMi: "Because of the strange working oC politics it may well be that some of thes leading law-makers of Duval and St. John's counties will join with the champions of Pensacola's right.
