Audubon County mt the Fair.

THE REPUBLICAN has Intercepted
all Of the railroad agents in the county
and has replies from all but the agent
at Extra. From these reports we find
that sos tickets have been sold. II
may be safely estimated, we believe,
that 100 have gone from the Extra
station; and that forty have gone on
stock passes. II may be further esti
mated that fifty have gone from sta
tions outside the county, making q
total Of 005. II they have spent upon
an average $50 each, and that is a con.
sentative estimate, then there has been
a total outlay of S3, $50 to see the biz

In the matter OF keeping servants
enc can never tell when tho lightning
will strike. To-day she Is here, aud to-
morrow where Is she? The domestic
harmony Is fair and lovely as a sum
mer day; then suddenly and without
any warning whatever the girl appears
with the remarks II must leave on
Monday, ma'am." The lady Of the
house is Frustrated with condemnation;
she reminds the girl OF the dress she
gave her for Christmas; promises her
fifty cents week more wages and an
other niFht of, but these arguments
and petitions are useless; the girl Is
Edumant In her determination. She
had made up her mind. Other people
make up their minds sometimes, but
they are as pliable as wax compared to
the servant
After the lady of the house has had
her scene with the servant, she reports
the matter to her bet ter half, who re-
marks complacentlY: what, Marian

The reasons for her going are many,
for Maria Is but type, Sometimes IL

cousin; sometimes the climate doesn't
agree with her; sometmen she is going
TO marry the coachman around the
corner and have "a house OF her own.
Again She Is going without any appar-
emit reason. She likes the family; the
wages are all right; there Is nothing

just going She Is a bird Of passage,
and when the inclination comes 10 fly
she spreads her wings and vaulshes.
You might as well try to imprison an
