YELLOW SHIRT WAS A MASCOT.
Turf Plunger Always Had Good Luck

iurf Piunger Always Had Good Luck
When He Wore 1t.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
If you had dropped into our place
lew days ago said a local laundry
man, you would have witnessed the
singular spectacle of q large establish
ment concentrating its energies upon
one particularly ugly yellow striped
shirt, worth 50 cents at the bargain
counter. We received the garment at
noon sharp, and delivered it, neatly
washed and ironed, at lis, for which
feat the operatives divided a nice new
70 Dill. The incident came about in this
way: There is certain sporting man
In New Orleans who plays the races
and, needless to say, is a firm believer
in hoodoos and nlascots. Some time
ago he made big winning after
long streak of hard luck, and in look
ing around for the usual omen he hap
pened to notice that he was wearing
peculiarly hjdeous yellow barred
shirt, which he had always loathed
and had put on that morning by mere
accident in hasty dressing. OF course
that settled it, and when he made
two or three other winnings iflcased
in the same garment he didn't dare
change it for fear of breaking the
thread of his luck.

was ashamed to venture on the streets.
He started several times to send it
to the laundry, but on each occasion
something good would turn up on the
blackboard and he would rush to his
room and put it on again before placing
bet. few days ago he told mis-
troubles to one of our wagon men. If
you can wash that shirt in time for
me to wear it this afternoon, he said,

Absence of Violets.

Violets, as a millinery adjunct, are
strangely conspicuous by their alb
sence this autumn. In fact, so Incl
dental are they, we might almost be
pardoned for regarding them in the
light of novelty to come rather than
one which has in some degree passed
away. But, perchance, this rare APP
pearance will invest these modest
blooms with an added value, and pro-
vided they are exclusively reserved for
toques and used there only in the finest
qualities preferably scented, and for
the most part in huge, dumped bunch
es, they are still most worthy of place
in millinery circles.

MOCK NOT THE DREAMERs.

Mock not the dreamers, Since the world
began
They scanned the skies and grandly
mapped for man
The paths obscure, the dark and devious
ways
Which led toward the light of future
days.
They were the prophets, judges, priests
and kings .0..
Who rose above blind moles and meaner
things,
And soaring grandly to the upper sky
Beheld the promised joys of by and by.
Dogged and derided by the men they
warned,
By ingrates stung, by pundits cursed and
scorned,
To crusts and crumbs, to rags and tatters
doomed,
Scourged as are outcasts by men who as
To speak for knowledge, urged by fools
in power,
These dreamers vet chose wisdom for
their dover.
Grandly they wrote, though every ribald
tongune
Derided songs by millions later sung;
They wrote truths story mid envenomed
Truth trimmed with glory by wiser age:
Their gems delivered, some as martyrs
died,
Slain by world which quotes them now
with pride.
They pierced the secrets of the land and
sea,
They toiled that those who scorned them
might be free,
With bleeding feet the ways of wisdom
To mark new pathways toward good and
God
They patient strove behind cold prison
bars e&fl
That freed souls later might climb to
the stars. -.
Though javelins Of hate were at them
hurled
These men despised were saviors of the
world;
What unto them were wealth or greed of
gold?
More priceless was their lore a thousand
fold.
Mock not the dreamers. these are they
who speed
Gods m.ghtiest purposes with word and
deed:
Yield them your trust, their message hear
and heed. Boston Transcript,

4 Fair Association.

Barton county can, If the matter is
gone at properly, have a County Fair
and Race Association for the general
good of the public. Arrangements are
under way to perfect such an organiza-
ton, and the DEMOCRAT most earnestly
hopes that the gentlemen who have
started it will receive the hearty coop.
GRAFTON of all.
1t is intended to organize on broad
scale; to place the business of such or
ganization above little petty rivalry in
the speed ring that in former years has
developed into a demoralizing of the
main objects of the affair.
Each township, it is suggested,
should get such men together as are
Interested, perfect township organi
cation and select representatives who
will join with others IN forming a county
organization. A stock company can be
organized with shares at, say IS or
SIo each, nom assessable-so that the
business of yearly exhibits can be made
to pay all expenses, and have none to
be met by individuals.
A board of directors comprising a
member from each township interes.
ted. could easily manage the race meet
ings, stock shows, and agricultural ex-
hibits so that they would pay their way.
The grounds where the last fair was
held, years ago. can be purchased, or
leased without much outlay to each in.
dividual, track and suitable buildings
prepared.
But. to make such an organization a
success everybody in the county should
be interested. We feel satisfied that
Great Bend citizens will do their share
towards subscribing stock, and we
know of a number of gentlemen in var.
ious parts of the county who have ex-
pressed their desire for such an asso
citation, knowing the benefits that would
be derived from an exhibit of stock and
other farm products.
Gentlemen. think the matter over,
not only think it, but talk it to your
neighbors; and when a meeting for
county organization is called. let there
be representative men present from
every locality.
We are not urging this as of benefit
to Great Bend more than any other
part of the county. The grounds should
be located at the county-sea as all
will easily concede; and we hope the
DEMOCRAT will have the hearty coop.
