Things that Might be Bettered.

This may be the age Of steel, steal,
progress and reform, but we are not inn
proving in some lines with commenda-
BILE speed. The eyelets in our shoes are
round. but we still wear fat strinse.
The loops on our summer trousers are
placed so low that the waistband pro-
neckband of our shirt is long enough to
let our tie slip over the top Of the collar.
Our hats are made for bullet-headed
men; these with long heads must have a
new purchase stretched out Of shape to
obtain a fit. The only kind of bache-
lor's buttons that are not utterly worth
less grow wild in the fields of the Unit
ed States. The country youths used to
carry them in their pockets to divine
their SUCCESS with their sweethearts.-

The trouble is all on account of little

It was an invitation to a pink tea. and
Russell Sage thought it was check

They call them shags, believe, out

catching what they want, and they throw

Immediately behind him. When the shay
lands the fish the water hen simply
reaches over and gets it. Without any
show Of resentment, and without turning
around, the shag will continue it's watch
for fish. and this is kept up until the
water hen has finished its meal, and then,
if no other enterprising member Of the
same tribe comes along, the shag is per-
mitted to enjoy the product Of its. own
sleepy efforts I have ON one occasion
seen one shag feed as many as three
wafer hens before eating single fish.

pidity, and, after having watched the

dull to even know that the water hen
stands behind him to steal the fish out

light throughout the county. Out Of a

2S3 votes were cast. Charles w. Brown,

The total vote of the county was 57S,
