The case of Will Prince, charged

time, after the case had been called
that the witness had " skipped." but It
turns out that he misunderstood the

will be here next month at the time to
which the case has been continued.

"sIutfine" as a Substitute for Ability

During the Civil War, certain manu-
f%acturers who tried to get rich out of
the expense of soldiers who were
fighting their battles for thirteen dol
lars a month, made shoddy clothing
that looked all right when new, but
which, when the poor soldiers were
lying in the wet trenches, or tramping
through the rain and snow. fell to
pieces. 1t had nc wearing quality.
The rain and wet unmasked the shod-
dy. Shoe manufacturers put paper
or ~pasteboard soles and poor leather
into shoes for the soldiers. The shoes
looked all right when they were new
and dry, but a few days of rain and
mud ruined them, and the poor sol
d1ers suffered pain, exposure and
disease through the fraud.
A counterfeit coin may pass for
genuine for some time, until some OBJ
serving person detects the cheat, or
the dull, leaden thud betrays the lie;
then the condemned coins career Is
ended, and the unfortunate holder
suffers loss.
Shoddy character and counterfeit
worth can impose on the world for a
time. People have found this out.
Many young men, today, are trying
to make bluff" do their work, and &C.
complish the results of honest train
ing and solid education. Strangely
enough, they sometimes seem to sue
coed in keeping up the deception for
years. So long as their boasts are
not questioned, so long as they can
load the work or the responsibility up
on more competent shoulders, they
impose on the world, and are apt to
get higher regulations and larger
salaries than more worthy and more
modest men. But bad work will not
always be accepted, cheap ~expedients
will no always be at hand, and mere
Boosting will not always be accepted
as ability. Some day, in the midst
of a panic or an emergency, the pre-
tended is found out, and shame and
disaster are his only portion. All
his undeserved triumphs are forgotten
Scoffers cry that they thought all the
time he did not know so much as he
said he did. The lion skin is stripped
off, and the stupid donkey is a laugh
ingstock.
Great occasions, which, like llghtn
ing-flashes reveal unsupported heroes
just as surely reveal the unworthy
the buffers, the sham workers. Lucl
that makes the fortune or the reputa
ton of the man who is prepared II
character and knowledge for energie!
is only bad luck for the shoddy charac
ter and the unframed workman

THE FoUR-lN-HANDs.
And Some of the Fine Stock Horses
Owned by Runnymead Farm and
Senator Hastings.

There will be a call next year for four
in-hands and other exhibition teams. The
turnouts from the .Runnymead Stock
farm at Windsor and from Senator
Hastings's estate at Walpole caught the
popular fancy. The Windsor team con-
sisted of three bays and a chestnut, all
trotting bred. with records, the wheelers
15.2 and the leaders ISL lands high. They
drew a yellow brake, and were handled
by H. S. Tayntor of New York. Mr..
Tayntor also brought one of the thor
oughbred running horses from the Evarts
farm. and the other runner, Crusader,
the winner, as stated was
owned by Mrs. Nino K. Hayes of Wealth
ersfeld and ridden by Mr.. Tayntor Mr..
TaYntor exhibited among the stations

Senator Hastings's thoroughbred jet
blacks are the animals which have been
seen here in several coaching parades.
THE wheelers were sired by Black Nor
gan. The leaders are own sisters and the
wheelers own brothers. A leader and
wheeler were also driven tandem. The
four horses were attached to Senator
Hastings's tally-ho, black with red trim
mings. Senator Hastings exhibited the
bay horse prince" a fine roadster ana
saddle horse, which has been trained to
| follow the hounds, and to clear hve-foot
fences. This was the horse that Col

The BENCH SHOW.
A Great Improvement in a Department
Which Can Be Made One of the
Drawing Cards of the Fair.

The most noticeable improvement
in any department was seen in the
dog show, where an attempt was made
to eliminate the CANNES lacking in
pedigrees and in merits, and to con-
duct the show on the methods which
prevail at the leading exhibitions of
the country. The judging in the ring
was something never before seer here
and a crowd of spectators lined the
fence at all times and watched the
expert judge as he commended the
good and disapproved of the weak
points of the animals. The open
building in which some of the dogs
are shown is inadequate, and especial
ly too narrow. 1t ought to be torn
down and replaced by a suitable struc-
ture more than twice the width of the
present one. More people were
around the dog pens than anywhere
else on the grounds. The bench show
can be made one of the drawing cards
of the fair if more in given the manag-
ers.
There were in the show a total Of
107 dogs, nearly all standard bred.
The five Russian wolf hounds from the
Valley Farm, kennels in Simsbury,
Conn, are valued at $4,000, and the
dog which won first cost $1,000 less
than a month ago. These dogs were
a decided novelty. Two are cham
pions of America in their classes.
Fine punches of English settlers were
exhibited by Mrs. M. S. Hastings of
Athol and Evans Brothers of Towns
bend. T. F. Turner's Irish setter is
by Champion Benlaw, a winner of
firsts in Burlington and Atlanta, Mrs.
Arthur Philips's poodle, M'sieu Cor
beau, which was awarded the cup as
the best dog in the show, was bought
last winter at the Paris bench show.
The Russian wolf hounds were not ex.
hibited for the special prizes. The
cup for the best dog in the show,
owned and shown by a lady went to
Mrs. A. E. Dion of B~rattleboro, with
Princess.
The other valuable silver cups were
awarded as follows: Mrs. NJ. L. Hast
ings, Athol, best bitch in show, Lady
We're; best sporting dog. T. Frank
Turner, Signal Ben; pest non-sport
ing dog, James F. Ferriter's Boston
terrier Tot. Both Mr.. Turner's and
Mr.. Ferriter's dogs are from cham
pion stock.
Mrs. Philips's three lively little Pom
eranians were the delight of the chill
dren and of many of the older folk
Another very pleasing novelty wal
j.. e. Woodis's Portuguese poodles from
Athol.
DR.. James E.. Hare of Bridgeport
Conn, judged all the breeds very salts
factorily. He exhibited his setter
Highland Fleet. which has won 9.
firsts and two specials in Boston ant
New York.

The fair played in luck again with
the weather god. Both mornings
the day opened with the skies not
wholly promising, but both days were
fair and comfortable in the main.
The Auditorium was well filled on
both nights of the Valley Fair. James
O'Neils version of Dumas's Monte
Cristo" was given Wednesday evening
by Edmund Reese and a company OF
strong supporters. Mr.. Reese was Tor
several years the leading nan at the
Castle Square theatre. HIS imper-
sonation of the Count was highly salts
factory. "Are You A Mason" one
of the most laughable comedy sue
cesses on the road, was received with
great enthusiasm last evening by a
large house.

The shooting of President Mckinley
recalls to superstitious minds the
shadows that have appeared in recent
years on the large columns of the
north or main porch of the White
House, says the Washington Star. Dur
ing the winter months these shadows
are more distinct than in other months
and appear near the top of the
columns around the midday hours.
It IL recalled now that last fall
shadow appeared that had never
been seen on the column before. 1t
required no effort Of the Imagination
to recognize it as a human forearm
and hand, with bent finger upheld in
the attitude of warning. 1t appeared
and disappeared each day for a fort
night or more. Some time after this,
when the SUMS position had changed,
a shadow Of nondescript form appeared
ON the great pillar at the extreme
northwest corner of the portico. 1t
soon took on definite shape and at l
O'Clock in the afternoon represented
the face and shoulders OF President
Mckinley in profile. The silhoutte
was so striking as to attract the at
tention of many people, who remarked
that q more correct profile drawing
could hardly be made by an artist. The
likeness was not a correct one for
more than a few minutes and then it
changed with the altering position of
the sun, and ten minutes later had as
sumed a remarkably perfect likeness
OF the late Queen Victoria, eve to an
object on the head resembling a crown
Sometimes the shadows present the
bent form Of an old woman, with one
hand resting on an object resembling

OF the speakers that while be might be
successful aud useful iu many other occu-
pations, Mr.. Garland was not capable of
preparing sermons and Administering to
congregations. The conference, by a vote
Of % to 81, located NJ. Garland.
The debat on the subject was one of
the most interesting of the whole confer

location OF Mr.. Garland. That gentle
men when called upon declined to volan.
tasily ask for a location, declaring that
it was a matter left with the great God
and not with himself The minister said
that he had never had opportunities OF
