 Tuesday the people of McCrory had another swell tish-fry down on King Lake. A jollier crowd would be hard to gather together. Every one enjoyed themselves glee-oriously. Boat rides, push away hacks, surreys, wagons, boys falling in the water, boats capsized, girls throwing bucket fuls of water on one another, all kind of good eatables, and fun, fun, fun, constituted the days program.

 A sewing machine fraud is operating in various localities and may turn up in Bucklin. His method of operation is thus described: He would visit the homes and get the consent to clean the sewing machines, and while doing so would remove some part, then show a broken piece of machinery, telling the lady that it would have to be re placed at a cost of a number of dollars, he of course having the proper piece to fit. He would then put in the original piece and receive his compensation for the work. If he could deceive his patron further he would find a second broken piece and thus add more to the treasury. A number have been fleeced in this manner and our residents should be shy of machine repairers.- Bucklin Herald.

The Cotton Plant homes and Hunters imported, met on the latters diamond Thursday. That they played ball as "Hoyl" says play is easily seen by the score board, which stood 17 to 13 in favor of the c. P. team. After the ball game they formed . around one "poor little 16 gallon keg, if the names of all present were known you could readily guess what be- came of the contents.

Among other good things he has is young calf. This calf has associated with MT. Angus so much, and is such an intelligent animal, that it has naturally adopted some of Mr. Angus pc culiar ways. One noteworthy is his new way of drinking. MT. Angus says he has pump on his place used for watering his stock and sometimes he takes a drink there also, holding his mouth at the extreme end of the spout and catching the water on the fly" The calf, which is also nice and somewhat given to re- ficement observed this and now it will not drink any other way than by holding it's head under the spout. The trough is to un- clean for Mir. calf. What Mir. Angus will have the calf doing next remains to be seen.

BOSTON CONCERT COMPANY.
a Fine Organization May Appear
Here En- Route to Australia

DR.. c. n. Thomas, manager of the
Boston Concert Company, arrived on
the Alameda to probably arrange for
his concert company stopping over here
on their way to New Zealand and Aus
tralia His company consists of the fol-
lowing artists:
Bernhard Watthes, the famous Bel
gian solo virtuoso; Lillian Norma, an
English lady who possesses a sweet
mezzo soprano voice; Cyrus Brownlee
Newton. a brilliant humorous imper-
senator and an accompanist. The
Musical Times of England says of
Bernhard Watthes: AT the present
time he ranks as one of the four great
est solo violinists" The st. Johns
Times. Canada, says of him: He is
brilliant and emotional and his style
recalls that of Sarasate at times
Lillian Norma is a lady of wonder
full magnetism and fine stage presence.
The Spokane Review says of her:
But few more pleasing vocalists have
ever been heard than Lillian Norma.
Her numbers called forth .rapturous APP
plause to which she graciously respond
ed She has rich mezzo soprano voice,
a delightful style and no less charming
stage presence"
Cyrus Brownlee Newton is at his
best in reciting his own humorous pro-
auctions Prof. Charles Elston here has
heard him frequently in California and
speaks of him as superb humorist
who is capable Of keeping his audience
in "a continuous roar of laughter If
the manager, DR.. Thomas, receives suf-
ficient encouragement he may have this
company stop over here the latter part
of November.

Meanwhile there is a constant tumult.
In one corner of the same tent the clown
is practicing his dogs or horses. There
is a democracy, as all kinds of animals
are under one canvas roof. Long lines
stretch across the tent and upon these
are hung the many articles of apparel
which go to make the men seem like be-
!ngs of another world. The dressed
workers sit about upon trunks or boxes
while there is constant flow of badin-
age or instruction passing, for the young
er members of the company, The clowns
crack their jokes and the dogs bark, the
lads take turn at the general CONVEX
sation, a man asks for a brush and it. is
handed through the air, and another
wants to be helped into a coat and it is
pulled over him. 1t is seeming confusion

is order; there is a blare of truTnpets and

l. The trapeze workers, the two sisters
who have been seen with so much ac-
ceptance, are stepdaughters of st. Leon,
and he has done for them as for his own
children, in making them masters of all
the art which is at his control.
The training of the horses which at
tract not less attention than those who
ride them, is a matter of many years,
and the men who do the work are really
artists in their way. But the rider fin

glare and noise and hustle, there is an
honest endeavor for the best which is
an outcropping of the same ambition
which marks the striving inventor of a
new thing in any walk of life. They
learn to think of the tents as home and
their life is so connected with the arch
