Old Dobbin Wins
By OMA TARPLEY.
No, old Dobbin didn’t win a blue
ribbon nor any ot' them things
that a feller would naturally think
of. He won —” but if I told this
story would end before it began.
In order to get the story just as
it was we will follow ol 1 David
Glaston’s conversation. Mr. Glas
ton was the richest man in Maple
burr and the shabbiest —that is in
the matter of his own clothes.
On a bright afternoon when the
sky never even hinted of the down
pour that was to follow later in
the day Paxton Daily found David
Glaston, or “Cap” as he was fa
iniliarily called, sitting under a
maple tree. The old man’s atten
tion seemed to be equally divided
between his own thoughts and his
bob pipe, which he puffed at be
tween chuckles.
Glancing up he saw Daily stand
ing near, “Draw up a chair frien’
Daily and make yourself to home.”
Silence ensued.
“Any news?” questioned “Cap”
as he knocked the ashes from his
pipe and placed it in his pocket.
“None,” answered Paxton in the
curt tone characteristic of the
Dailvs.
"Then I reckon you wouldn’t
mind lending your ears for a spell,
eh?”
“Not much, who’s dead?”
“ ’Taiu’t nobody dead as I knows
of, Iho the good Lord oughter
know that pore Hilton woman
would rest better if she was
buried.”
“Wall, began David Glaston set
tling himself more comfortably in
his chair, you know I alius name
iny critters. Seems like they sorter
appreciate names, ever notice one
prick up his ears and look pleased
like? Wall, that’s jes’ the way
old Dobbin feels about it and 1
never fail to call his name. But
it ’twan’t the critter’s name I start
ed out to tell you about ’twuz
what he done.”
“Whom did it concern?” asked
Daily.
“That’s jes’ what I sot out to
tell you, but I guess if you can’t
give a feller time, I can close up.”
“No, go ahead. No harm meant
by the question,”
“As I was saying, old Dobbin
was the best horse I ever seed.
One day Agalea wanted to borrow
Dobbin to go galiranting around
llie country with a bunch of them
city folks. 1 hated to see mv horse
run to death, an’ then I reckon
there musl’er been a feelin’ in my
heart concernin’ the gal, not know
ing whether she could manage a
horse or not.”
“I answered, no. Agalea saw I

Brain Work Wins.
This is proved by the fact that
in the last nine years 2,700 sug
gestions for improvements in
manufacturing methods and ma
chinery have been accepted and
paid for by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber company.
In the nine years since it be
came company policy to ask for
suggestions from employes, 55,000
new ideas have been submitted
by workers. For some of these
as high as S2OO have been paid —
in a few cases even greater
amounts have been paicJ where
benefits were proportionate. In
most cases from $lO to SSO are
paid.
Employes take this method of
earning additional money and it is
not unusual for one employee to
have as high as six suggestions
accepted in a year.
meant what I said, so she -just
turned on her heel and went out
of the room.”
“Along after dinner a while 1
went out in the orchard where 1
pulled some tall grass that I thought
would go well to old Dobbin, and
I reckon would have, but when I
got to the stables his door was
standing wide open. About three
feet from the door was a bright
blue feather. did that
feather come from, and when,? I
asked myself.”
