Talc of a Dog,
Boy and Mayor
Barefoot Boy with Cheek of Tan
Pleads Successfully for Execu
tive Clemency for Cur.
"Please set at liberty one yellow cur dog,
named 'Jim.' by order of James C Dahl-
! man. mavor."
Johnny Burke, barefooted, tanned and
freckled, with tears washing great streaks I
on his dirty face, timidly appeared In the
office of the mayor Thursday with a peti
tion that hla dog "Jim" be pardoned from
the pound. Johnny said he did not have a
dollar to buy a tag and that the dog
catcher, the small boy's bogey man, had
confiscated his little playmate and Im
prisoned him In the pound. He had been
to the pound and seen the dog, but the
dog catcher would not let him have him
back without a dollar and a tag, and
Johnny could not get either. Moreover the
dog was named "Jim," after his excellency,
the mayor of Omaha.
"So please, Mr. Mayor, won't you let mo
have my doggie back again," the small
boy pleaded.
And the mayor replied:
"They tell me that I Issue too many par
dons now, sonny, and If I pardon your
dog there will be more people to find fault.
I should think you could get another dog
easy enough, but If you think so much of
! this little yellow cur of yours I will over
i step the rules and let you have him back
again.
The pardon was written out and little
Johnny Burke, 9 years of age, left the of
fice happy.
ENMESHED IN MUSIC AND

That Is the Modest Prediction Colonel
Ryder Makes for Omaha

It Is the prediction of Chairman "Bob"
Bacon and the other committeemen con-
nected with the arrangements for the com
ing Eagles' convention that the catfish
j bake and barbecue to be brought off at
: Cut-Off lake Friday, September 17, will be
the biggest Joyfest ever billed In Omaha.
Walter Jardlne, who Is a fisherman from
I away up the "crick," and Tom Fry, who Is
j an expert on watery delicacies, assert that
! it will be difficult to secure Just the kind
of catfish desired, hand-raised and all of
one ttlze, to be cooked with their skins on,
' but that It will be done. The steers to be
i barbecued will be Nebraska raised and fed
j on special corn, and will be cooked over
; fires made of the finest wood, under the
supervision of the greatest outdoor chef In
1 the country.
j Chairman Harry B. Zimman of the deco
rations committee says the streets of
Omaha will not only be a blaze of light

offer a kaleidoscopic vista of color and
