"May be-" says he, "you are
on the committee?"
81 have that honor" says I.
But" says he, chat bull
hain't got any pidegree."
"Well," says /, "he had faith
er and mother, didn't he?gss
ooh! yes, but then nobody
knows who they were"
"Well, then nobody knows
but they were just as likely as
your bulls, parents"
'But, sir, look at my pedi-
gree. There it is, sir. Got by
imported Shirt-taiI, out of Skim
milk, by Thunder y and he
showed a string Of names as
long as your arm.
"WelI," says l to the COM
mittce, care we to judge the
pedigree or the animal?"
And they said, "the animal,of
course"
"Then," said to the fellow,
"will your bull get better stock
than this?"
"Of course he WILL" says he,
''for he's got a pedigree,and that
bull hain't."
WELL" says |, "your bull has
got somebody to brag for him,
and the other hasn't, that's GER
tain" And that sort O knocked
him. "But, Says /, "Ive known
people who felt grand over their
pedigree, and Eve seen Il heap
of people who couldn't 90
further back than their father
and mother that banged them
all TO pieces for smartness.-
Handsome is that handsome
does says |, ''and, as the hymn
book says, IA mans man for a
that. Pedigree to grass, | go
in for the animal"
When we got through and
looked at our marks, the other
two had Smiths bull second, |
had him first. SO we talked it
over, and finally as they did
not care much about it, they
altered the figures, and gave
Smith the first premium, which
/ think was right.
Smith had a great time over
old Nance. 1t turned out that
each Of the other two commit
teemen had friends whose mares
were to be judged, and they
pretty soon picked out their
favorites. So he kept still and
let them talk, AMI they soon
got, into Il quarrel, AID tEcn
they appealed to Smith, and he
Kinder sided with one, but
thought old Nance was the best
mare, and finally, to keep the
other from getting first, they
sided with him, and he went i'll
for both of theirs. Smith says
he saw some queer things on
that committee.
You see we got our premiums,
but you don't see, perhaps,
as we'll as | do, that it wants
something more than merit TO
be sure Of winning.

in crowds--in wagons, buggics,

Grand Procession Of Dazzling

parade was not equal to what
was promised, it was imposing.
There were four elephants har-
messed to the chariot. not eight.
At II o'clock the DOORS were
opened. and in Il few minutes
the canvass was crowded by O.
yer 1000 people. The mcnag-
