Herts and Surrey playing ALL England
for that sum; moreover Surrey twice
won 1000 guineas that season from the
luckless county of Hants, Then incred-

He is expected TO help the fellow

eulogizing him and painting him in
the brightest colors, until the people
believe that he is not half as bad a
man they thought he was, and is
just the man for the place. lie is
expected TO praise everybody and
everything whether they deserve it
or not, and to give free use of his
columns TO any fellow who feels
himself agrieyed at another, and
stand all the responsibility while
the other fellow hides behind non

everything for the benefit of the
community and is to get nothing in
return but ungratefulness aud abuse
