consecutive days. james Moffat bets that
Walcott can, The contest began on Jan. Z.
Each day as o'clock comes around
a number of the owners of fast
horses stop at Cases and watch the con-
test. The first day Walcott spent sixteen
minutes in eating his quails. For the follow
ing two or three days he picked the bones in
much less time. Yesterday he finished his
eighth brace in just eleven minutes. His
appetite was good, and he seemed to relish
the birds. He had fried potatoes and onions

A Change in Sentiment.

Kansas City journal.
Forty years ago it was not considered bad
for men in the South and West to get drank
at social gatherings. Twenty years ago a
man could not safely get drunk at social
gatherings without losing caste, but he could
get drunk three times day anywhere else
and be perfect gentleman To-day man
cannot get drunk anywhere without losing
the respect of solid men and women. Tween
ty years hence a man who gets drunk viii be
placed on level with pickpocket and a
s}sak Thief; too dangerous and useless to
have lying around loose. The world
Changes.

With the Domestic improved.
ellison had just left Spenccrs
When Esty drove up with lofty mien,
And wanted to leave with him
The improved Domestic machine.
Then spoke NJ Harry Spencer,
"In here stands the White machine.

Unless you can stay yourself,
For soon expect Gibson back

If the White does all it claims to
That's the machine L shall buy.
If the Domestic can do better work,
You had better stay and try"
ellison felt much disappointed
When he heard the expert, Esty,
Would not stay and test machines
But went Off with the Improved Do

Or il certainly must be claimed
Their way of doing business
Is queer. with the Domestic machine
ellison is canvassing through and around

And it is plainly to be seen
That he is filling up all vacancies
With the light-running White machine.
This man is very hard to rout,
Or long ago he would have been,
For he has perfect confidence
In the light-running White machine.
We all went to Harry Spencer's
The White machine to test,
And saw the expert ellison
' Do his very best.
ITo showed us all the bearings,
And then among the rest
He ruflied on shingle,
That was the closing test.
Then Spencer laughed right heartily
And says. you came in time.
Now here, take this money,
The White machine IS mine.

You had better all unite

FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH.

y
The many differences which exist
between the Northern and Southern
people are calculated to impress one
on going TO the sunny south for the first
time, for while but few hundred
miles lay between us, as great diversity
notes all our habits and customs as if
the Atlantic divided US.
In my opinion, the southern people
are becoming very much JdnkeeiSed
in their business relations. have
learned from authentic statements,
that so late as ten years ago a woman
left dependent on her own eXertions
for support, could not keep board
ers without losing her position in So
Ciety; and moreover, when those who
were 50 unfortunate as to be left with
out competency resorted to this
means, you might be sure that it was
necessity alone which gave them the
courage to stand before the world as
women willing to work for their liv-
ing. But none of this is TO be MOTTO
ed now; the time has passed when la
Dor was disgraceful, and people are
praised more for their personal mer-
its than for the good qualities of their
ancestors. The southern people are
SO high-minded and possess such no
BILE, generous hearts that | am glad
TO think this glaring defect has disap.
peared among other pieces Of ante
bellnm injustice.
The female character is much TO
be admired here. Southern women
possess much innate gentleness and
grace and to this their circumstances
have caused the addition of the more
practical qualities which 60 to make

This is the most beautiful country

pie how glorious should its futnre be f!
