Posting the Glove at English Fair.

From the London Daily Mail
One of these old world customs dating
from time immemorial, which are still to
be found f1ourishing in parts of rural Eng
land, was observed at Honiton yesterday
when In quaint phraseology the annual fair
war formally declared open. Attired in a
costume somewhat resembling that of the
ancient parish beadles, with a three-corner-
ed hat, blue coat and trousers and waist
coat, plentifully ornamented with gilt braid,
the town crier of the ancient borough took
up his stand a midday outside the market
house. AS the hour struck this gorgeously
att1red official delivered himself of the fol-
lowing announcement: "Oyez. oyez! oyeZi
can be arrested till the glove is taken down.
God save the king!" This proclama ton.
which was made in the presence of the
borough officials and members of the coun-
Gil, annually attracts a large crowd of WISH
tors and sightseers. and the assemblage re-
peatS in chorus the words of the procla ma
ton. The announcement Is also made in
other parts of the town, and at the conclu-
sion of each stoppage nuts are thrown for
the crowd to scramble for. The fair dates
back to the time of Henry Ill when Isa-
bella de Fortibus was the lady of the
manor The glove is large gilt model
of a glove hand. affixed to the top of a
long pole. 1t is displayed the balcony
cattle fair the Wednesday, and on
Thursday is removed to the other end of
the town. where the horse fair is held. The
promised immunity from arrest is a relic
of 1.-The good old days when the debtors
laws were in existence.

Failures in Business.
From the Mercantile Review

Who was originally responsible for the
statement that % per cent of people going
into business ultimately fail, it is impossible
to say, but one frequently hears the state
ment repeated. especially in addresses be-
fore business mems conventions and in
speeches at dinners of commercial organiza-
tions. Other misstatements are corrected,
other myths die out, but this one persists
Recently the hoary old humbug received
bad whack a solar plexus blow, that should
send it down "for the count"
The stroke was dealt by Dun's weekly
circular in response to the query of a cor
respondent whether 1t is true that 95 per
cent of business men fail. The Dun agency
people looked into the matter. They studied
the statistics of failures since 1857, and
they found that the records show that the
ratio of failures in business between 1865
and 1908. inclusive, averaged only a little
of every hundred firms in business failed
The ratio exceeded 1 per cent during the
years of hard times. from 1875 to 1878. in
elusive. and again from 1893 to 1898; but Of
the thirty-eight years between 1866 and
1903 there were nineteen years when the
ratio slightly exceeded per cent. and nine
teen years in which it was slightly less
than 1 per cent.
This showing does not reveal exactly how
many of those who enter business ultimate
ly fall for the number of firms and individ-
uals entering business every year, and the
number of those voluntarily retiring from
to get the figures exact; but it is very evil
dent that the old delusion of 95 per cent
of business men failing has no foundation
in fact.

half dead of hunger and fatigue. The bears
had not arrived and there was no news of

That the khaki uniform for army officers
has its advantages in time of war as well
as its disadvantages in time of peace is
the opinion of a somewhat pompous cap
tain, who had a rather awkward expert
ence on Pennsylvania avenue the other
day. The new olive tinted khaki suit worn
by officers is intended to render them less
conspicuous as a target for the marks
men of the enemy, armed with the modern
long-range rifles. and to make it more diff
cult to distinguish between officers and
privates on the field of battle, This same
similarity of the uniform of the officer
and the private soldier is what resulted IN
an embarrassing position for the aforesaid
captain. The officer was walking with an
aristocratic friend. being arrayed in his
suit of khaki, which bore evident marks
Of its participation in the bloodless cam
paign of Manassas when they approached
a handsomely gowned and naughty lady ac-
quaintance of the aristocratic friend. Dof

captains friend said:

war. and l only deign to meet officers.

Before explanations could be made the
society bud whirled away toward the Capt.
tol. She had failed to notice the single
bar on the captains soldier, or the other
distinguishing mark. his leather leggins,
and, perhaps, if she had she would not
have known the difference. The lady is
said to have afterward circulated the re-
port that her blue blooded friend was 'low-
erning himself in the social scale by as
sociating with what her soldier papa was
wont to term buck privates.'

Fools His Hens.
From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.


Timothy varney. who lives three miles
east of LIE Sueur and keeps about 200 hens,
has been greatly troubled, as have most
people who keep hens, by the persistent de-
sire manifested by the fowls to set, III
season and out, on eggs. stones or door
knobs or anything else that comes handy.
But he has got hold of a plan now which
he has quietly tried this season with perfect
success and which he warrants will cure
the worst light brahma cluck that ever
yexed the heart of man of all desire to sit,
and all in less than three hours.
The cure consists of a cheap watch, with
loud and clear tick to it. inclosed in a
case that is white and shaped liked an egg.
When a hen manifests desire to set out of
season he gently places this bogus egg
under her sheltering breast and the egg
does the rest. 1t ticks cheerfully away and
soon the hen begins to show signs of I'M
easiness, and stirs the noisy egg around
with her BILL thinking, perhaps, that tt is
already time for 1t to hatch and there is
chicken In it wanting to get out She
grows more and more nervous as the noise
keeps up, and soon jumps off the nest and
runs arou nd awhile to cool off. but returns
again to her sef-imposed duty. 1t gets
worse and worse with her, and she wiggles
about and cackles, ruffles her feathers and
looks wild until at last, with frenzied
squawk, she abandons the nest for good and
all. That incubating fever Is broken up
completely.
Mr.. Varney finds for half a dozen of
these noisy eggs, and claims that they pay
for their cost over and over during the year,
by keeping the hens at the business of lay
ing and not permitting them to waste the
golden hours in useless incubating.
