Keeping Records Is Hard Work.

hGeplmB heCOFuh As mara "OFAs
Keeping the record of a large. pure
bred herd is very tedious exacting and
intricate. The value of pure-bred
breeding stock depends largely on the
integrity and authenticity of the rec
ord Of the breeding. Intending buyers
of pure-bred bulls do not always APP
preciate this until they get some I'M
Outstanding Of it and are apt to think
that pure-bred stock too high.
A short time in charge of a pure-bred
herd will convince anyone he must
have some pay for a good deal of LII

DOWN IN THE MINES.

This clipping from the Interstate
Manufacturer has the right ring and
and shows up dreaded condition of
affairs such as is fully illustrated by
by acts of labor unions, now trying
to get foot-hold in Hopkins county:
"'Citizens saber-slashed; nom
union men with broken limbs and
bloody faces; women and children
trampled under foot; soldiers
manned with flying missiles, and
leaders in the crowd beaten with
muskets were some of the results of
the day"
"The above is taken from a press
dispatch from Albany, New York,
May 10. This condition of affairs
was the result of lot of men going
to Albany to work for the Traction
Company, whose former employees
are on strike.
The men who went to Albany to
go to work are American citizens,
and under the Constitution of the
United States they are granted life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
"The greatest government on earth,
the greatest State in that govern
ment, was powerless to protect men
in the pursuit of life, liberty and
happiness.
"With all seriousness the question
can be asked, is this free country?
Are the people of this country capa-
BILE of self government? Has the
day arrived when one man or one
thousand men cannot work without
the consent of other men? What
will be the result? 1t is q condition
confronting us. The days of theo-
rizing have passed. The crisis is
approaching nearer and nearer. The
demagogue has succeed in his work.
The craven politician is bowling to a
part of the people and saying that
others shall not work without their
consent.
Continuing along this line, the
boys from the farms and factories,
from the forests and the fields, must
soon ask the consent of someone
other than their own parents before
they can begin employment and set
tie down to the occupations Of their

PILLsBURY's GREAT FEAT.
Makes a New Record for Playing
Chess BlindfOlded.


Pillsbury made a new record for players
of blindfold chess Saturday by playing two
separate and distinct sittings in one day.
Eight chess players engaged him in the
first and nine chess and one checker play
ers in the second. In the first contest he
lost a game to Mr.. Walker and Mr. Fox
made a draw. In the second the locals
Jared little better. Messrs. OFarren and
Howard winning, while Mr. Fox again sue
ceeded in getting the draw.
The afternoon session began at 2:30 and
extended until nearly O'clock. and the
evening session from $50 to midnight
eight hours Of genuine strenuous employ
ment to keep run of the slidings of pawns,
knights. bishops and other men to keep free
from palpable errors, to keep up the pres

he were sitting opposite each particular
player and guiding each operation by sight
of board and pieces. This is what he un-
dertook and what he did with overWhelm-
ing success. Twelve wins two draws and
only three losses Is the whole record.
From the Inquiries propounded 1t ought
to be stated that the mode of operations
III blmdfold contest is as follows: The
non-seeing player seats himself apart from
the line OF players who are up against him.
He has the first move on all the boards,
and announces his moves to q volunteer,
who goes from board to board and places
the pieces as directed. In turn, he an
nounces to Pillsbury the answer Of the OPP
ponents to his moves, and always leaves
move of the expert to be examined and the
answer found by the time he next gets to
that board.
