Commissioners Harrington says
the barb wire fence was not built
around the Jail to keep the prison
ers from getting out, but to keep
the citizens from breaking in and
defacing the beautiful white( wash
ed) walls of the building. 1t ap
pears that nefarious plot had been
unearthed-a plan which meant the
destruction of our beautiful Jail
The scheme was this: Each man,
woman and child who came to Gar
nett to celebrate the Fourth was to
take a stone, a board, stick, or
some portion of the building, home
with him, or her, to be kept as me-
mentoes of the pride (?) of Ander-
son county, thus completely de-
stroying our resting place for buns,
type writer thieves and other gentry.
The commissioners got onto this
diabolcal plot, so they hurried up
the building of the fence, and when
the Fourth rolled around, 10 and be
hold there stood the big fence,
looming up like a hen-house in a
fog, protecting the beautiful palace,
and thus it was saved from demoli-
ton by vandal hands. 1t was a
very narrow escape, though. They
do say that Sheriff Farris is quite
proud of the fence.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH" AT
GARNETT.

The celebration of independence
day" at Garnett, Wednesday, was
the most elaborate that has beer
held here in many years. 1t was
thoroughly enjoyable day, although
it rained some in the forenoon and
caused the postponement of the pa
rade. And, by the way, that parade
was simply "out of sight" 1t was
led by the ladies' band, of Chanute,
followed by the city council in car
riage. Then came car of Al little
girls representing the states of the
Union, followed by the Sunday
school military company They
were followed by the teachers and
students of the normal. Directly
after them rode company OF ladies
on horseback. Then came the Car
nett band Company G and the fire
department, followed by the cali
thumpians, headed by Fashing's
goat team. These were followed
by the bicycle brigade, and the
drum corps brought up the rear
The rest of the exercises of the
forenoon consisted of music in the
park.
The afternoon programme was
good, composed of short speeches
by G. E. Lincoln and Col. Burns,
recitations by Misses Bertha Mel
len, Helen HUT and Mabel Richard
son daughter of j. w. Richardson,
of Cherryvale), music by bands and
choir; and, last, but best of all,
was the Grafton by Miss Laura
Gregg, which was certainly one of
the finest orations ever delivered
anywhere. Miss Gregg has a brill
liant future as an orator. We are
sorry we are unable to publish her
grafton, but, as she simply spoke
from notes, that is out of the ques-
ton. We must simply be content
to say, you ought to have heard it
There were many beautiful deco
rations, possibly the most noticeable
being a window decoration by Mrs.
II. B. Ward.
The fireworks at night were sim

Altogether, it was glorious day.

The Printers Devil.

The printers devil is q much
abused youngster. Owing to the
rapid developments of machinery he
s speedily going out of date, al
though the term "deviI''is still ap-
piled to the boy who haunts the
editor for copy"
The origin of the word has led to
many snrmises. says an exchange.
Superstitious people used to think
that 10 order to produce copies SO
rapidly the printer must have the
assistance Of the black art, and
therefore his apprentice was called
the devil. The story goes that
when Aldus Manntius commenced
printing in Venice he had in his
service an African boy who became
famous all over the city as 1.-The
little black devil" and il was wits.
pered he was the representative of
his satanic majesty. This was very
annoying to Aldus, so he publicly
exhibited the boy and said:
"Be it known to Venice, that I,
Aldus Manutius, printer to the Holy
Church and Doge, have this day.
made public exposure of the print.
er's devil. All those who think he
is not flesh and blood may come and
pinch mim."
A more probable origin of the
phrase, however, is the following.
The first apprentice of William
Caxton was the o of a French
gentleman named De Vile, or
Deville. So the word came into
general use for the boys who did
the printers dirty work.

Tho Delight of Mankind.

Titus, the Roman emperor, was entitled
1.-THE delight Of mankind. Titus benefl-
oence was unbounded, and 1t SO happened
that during his brief reign there was the
most urgent need of it's exercise. In the
first year occurred the great eruption Of
Vesuvius overwhelming Herculaneum
and Pompeii and running numerous other
towns and villages. The next year fire
broke out in Rome, which ragged three days,
causing great destruction, and in the
tracks of these cGlamities followed a dread
full pestilence Titus dealt out gifts with
lavish hand to the houseless and ruined
sufferers. He even despoiled the palaces
of their valuable ornaments to obtain
money for distribution and schemed and
planned to furnish occupation for them.
He was now the idol of his subjects, the
Glove and delight of the human race"
but, unfortunately for that part of the hui
man race over which he ruled, in the com
mencement of the third year Of his reign
he became suddenly i'll and died at his
pntrimonial villa in the Sabine country
