In Missouri, it has been adopted as the State song, and the Democrats have made it their cam- paign song, charging derisively that the Republicans have personified the “Dawg.” But the song has spread far be- wi and the search for its Missourians in vond Miss crigin is general, New York hLave gone t othe music publishers to the department stores, to the old boog shgps, and have blandly asked for a copy of the Ozark Dawg Song. Invariably they have sent to their native State for for the name of the writer, the key of its firs. appearance. This has happened so often the Missourians have sen tto their native State ofr information, hut without result. Cheap Bids for Fame, Claim has been laid to its duthor- ship by several second-rate rhyme- sters of the present generation, es- pecially since Woodrow Wilson plac- ed it in the category with ‘‘Beautiful llse of Somewhere.” Honorable Mis- sourians indignantly refuse these claims; it was sung before any of the whipper-snapper song writers of to- day were born, they say. Members of the Missouri Society of New York pleaded ignorance because they had been born and raised in St. Louls, which is miles away from the Ozark hills and never sees hounds, except at the dog shows. However, one old Missourian was foynd who seemed promising. “Did you write the Ozark Dawg Song?” he was asked. ““No,” he said, and then, “I don't think anybody did. It just grew like Topsy. “Thirty years ago they sang that ditty in the Ozarks. 1 remember it well. It was old then, Miles and miles away from the railroad, in the heart of the mountains, that song sprang up of itself. If you know the Ozark people the way I knew them then, it would be an easy thing to believe. When I first went into their country, the first thing that struck me was the ‘dawgs.’ The railroad carried me to Ironton. There [ struck across the country through Reynolds, Shannon, Howells and Dents counties. The Ozarks are in the southeast of Missouri and ex- tend over the border into Arkansas, but thirty years ago they were as time The men wore coonskin caps, car- ried long rifles, lived in loz cabins, and hardly knew what money looked like, “They all of them had hounds, not the kind you see on the stage when small and ugly dogs with ears en- tirely out of proportion to their heads. \When they were resting they looked like mongrels—the kind you want to kick. When 1 first tripped over one, I turned and tried to boot him. Instantly a voice drawled, ‘You quit Kickin' that houn'. I didn't; my other foot went toward the dog's ribs. ‘You quit!" came the same voice, but this time without a drawl. Good on the Trail. “1 did quit. Later I learned why these men tell you that you've gotta HOUN' DAWG SONG. Mystery of the Ozark Dawg Song Like every dog, every song was supposed until recently to. have its day, but now this quaint Ozark bal- lard of thirty years ago is taking to itself a new and greater fame s®an had the songs named after Bedelia when they appeared, ten and fifteen years The song is being sung, cartooned and put in solemn editorials; it is— so the pelitical forecasters say—to play no small part among the noises of the coming presidential campaign. have furrowed their brows and endeavor- ed to fathom the rights of the Dem- parties | ¢ “You|$ in which it was written, and year |- dog knew his master better than the master knew him.

Do you wonder that they would threaten to knife a man if he kicked a dog?” The origin of the song may never become known, but because its verse is crude and naive, its whimsical lines appealing at once to sympathy | and understanding and because it has a quality and spiceentirely lack- ing in jingles of today, there can be little wonder that its revival is watched with such interest.
