Reports that the Democratic legis

for a house for Old LimW have led

promptly, veto such a proposition, and
this rumored activity of political en
emies is likely to result in the gov
ernor keeping Old Limber at home.
Old Limber furnished mr;.h ma
terial for Governor Taylor's ? speech

ernor always gave a graphic recital
of Old Lim'oer's prowess as a xox
lini-if
"Old Limber is being well cared

cmer on the subject. "He would
not be contented in tha city. He
wants to be where he can occasion

chased the fox with the rest of the
pack making music, at his heels. Old
Limber is nine years old, and is too
M to run now, but he remembers
and often dreams cf his past achieve
ments." "If yoiv have never heard Old Lim
ber in full cry," the governor contin
ues orrowiner more eloquent, "you
have never heard music. He is gifted
Tn every note and in a chase, at one
time or another, he win let you nave
all of them. You' could distinguish
Old Limber's voice from the rest of
the pack eight miles away. Honest!
That dog never lied to me in his life.
He has never been known to yelp on a
cold trail. Whenever the voice of
Old Limber is heard, everybdoy
knows that the fox is around"
