AN AUTOMOBILE RACE
AT THE COUNTY FAIR

Next week, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, the Rock Island county
fair will be held at J.slin. AS the
time draws near everyone seems to
be planning to attend, and from pres
emit indications the attendance will be
large
The grounds are being put in ex-
cellent condition for the event. TIE
amusements besides the horse racing
viii comprise a ball game Thursday
and an automobile race Wednesday.
These attractions promise to be first
class, the latter being the first of the
kind witnessed in the county.
Never find fault with your county
fair until you have tried to make it a
success by helping in some way.
Take something that will help out in
the way of exhibits-grain, fruit, live
stock, or anything that is pro-
duced on the farm, in the kitchen.
or in the nature of fancy work. Don't
go to the fair and say You have some
thing better at home than what you
see, but prove it by entering the pro-
ducts OF your skill and winning the
prize.

The Daily Short Story
TWO M EN-.
By BARRY PAIN.

The murderer generally knows that
he is a murderer. The vain man. who
from the social point of view is fire.
quently the greater sinner, never knows
that he is vain unless somebody tells
him. Even then he must be told with
considerable force, and the hypothesis
that the teller is Jealous must be too
absurd to be tenable. Richard Perral
was convinced somewhat suddenly of
vanity and his other defects by Rhoda
Lestrange.
The social manner may be only skin
deep, but it is n tough skin. 1t takes
more than a scratch to get through it.
The natural Rhoda came through one
night at a dance when PerraI made
her angry without intending it. When
boy suddenly tears off the boxing
gloves and wishes TO continue with bare
fists, there is generally somebody handy
to stop him. But there happened TO be
nobody TO stop Rhoda. 1 doubt if any
body could have stopped her. a mo-
ment before she had been smiling and
saying the usual things. And before
PerraI could grasp what the reason
was. though she soon told him. she
was being absolutely truthful. abso-
lutely merciless, absolutely brutal.
He had been speaking of Lucy Wyl-
fingers engagement, which he profess
ed to find incomprehensible. Rhoda
was an intimate friend of Lucy and
understood the engagement perfectly,
but as she had no intention of telling
Perral anything whatever about it she
said that she thought so too.
/ 1l...N nj, ferlnf
be the explanation. In fact" he
added fatuously, Il have heard it
limited, though it is ridiculous enough,
that L am TO blame"
| The social manner still held. What
do you mean?'' she asked. Did you
advise her I'm any way:'
NO. not that
Rhoda's eyes flashed.
''Since you are so fond of explana-
tions, 1 Will tell you one or two things
that you had better knOw-things about
yourself
Delighted" said Perral, who had
not grasped the situation.
For instance. l think you do not
know that you are the common joke of
the set that. by no means for your sake,
still tolerates you. l have seen you
leave people whom you evidently
thought that your Dragging had i'm
lpressed nightly, and have been sorry
that you did not hear what was said
when you had gone. / suppose you
cannot help 1t. 1t is one of your nat
ural disadvantages; II is one of many.
You need not stare at me. 1 know per-
fectly well that have lost my temper.
] hope 1 shall lose my temper again if
ever again 1 hear a cad lying about a
woman to satisfy his silly vanity. 1t is
not likely; one is generally careful not
TO meet your type. If a woman talks
to you at dinner to satisfy conventions
and her hostess, you think that she is
I'm love with you. IL you had not been
as dense as a milestone. you must have
