Whenever they accidentally hit one a
search party was organized in the next

We'll the short pitcher forgot to
dodge one of them, and it hit him right
on the dome of his forehead You
could hear the report all over the field.
1t sounded like hitting a ripe pumpkin
with a bed-slat.
Now. here is where the funny thing
comes in. The ball bounded off that
negro's head way up in the air toward
first. and the first baseman ran about
twenty feet back of his base and
caught it on fly.
That's fact. The ball must have
bounced over eighty feet off that ne
gro's head, and it never feazed him.
He swung his bat around him and let
drive at the pitcher. and when they
got them separated he went right on
with his batting.
And the first baseman claimed the
ball he caught was a foul and wanted

the ball numerically. Middleton OF

THE WORD LIVERY.
It Originally Meant Something De
AveRed or Freely Given.

It Originally Meant Something De-
livered or Freely Given.
Our word livery is derived, through
the French. from the Latin liberare, to
deliver. Hence a livery originally
meant something delivered or freely
given. and came to be applied to an
allowance of food or clothes.
From Norman times an English no
bleman allotted a fixed "livery" of
bread, wine and candles to his servants
for their private use. A remnant of
this system still survives at Oxford
and Cambridge, where the fellows Of a
college are entitled to daily allow
ance of food called commons"
An allowance Of provender for q
horse was also called a livery, and q
horse fed and groomed for its owner
at a fixed charge was said to be "at
livery"
IN the middle ages "nvery" was worn
by any one who was in any sense in
the service of another Of superior rank
or station.
The trading companies Of the city Of
London used to provide special attire
for their freemen. who became known
as liverymen, a title which they still

"True success in life means to earn
little and save little; to make u
home and live in it; to be cleanly and
wholesome; to merit gentle services
and to bestow them; to know what is
beautiful in the world at hand and
beneath our eyes and to cherish it;
to think kind thoughts and to say
nothing that is mean, or cruel, or
false; to love without certainty OF
recompense; to merit before we de-
mand; to prize simplicity, and to
ignore pretense, but, above all, to
work. That is the way to succeed,
and there is no sphere in life too
mean, no environment too humble.
no ambition too lofty to come within
its inevitable provisions"

Race Of the Caucasus M0untains
With q Georgian Dialect.

A Race Of the Caucasus Mountains
With Georgian Dialect.
In the highest parts Of the Caucasus
mountains, around the Kasbeek region,
there is a tribe, very tall and hand
some, which speaks its own peculiar
dialect Of the Georgian language and
has its own peculiar customs, differing
In many ways from those of the
Tscherkesses. Armenians, Circassians
and other tribes that dwell in the same
country. It is the tribe of the Ossetin-
ians.
Like the rest of the Caucasus tribes,
they have recognized Russia's authori-
ty. But they adhere to the claim that
they are not descended from Asiatic
races, like the other tribes, but that
their ancestors were German knights
who had gone to the crusades and who.
after the disastrous end of the last
crusade, had been driven into the wild
valleys Of the Caucasus, whence it was
impossible for them to win their way
out and homeward owing to the Wig
1lance of the Moslem foe. So at last
they settled down and took wives
among the Caucasus mountain women,
who have always been noted for their
beauty.
It is strange fact that the Osse-
tinians understand the science of brew
ing malt liquors, and they are the only
ones who drink beer, the other tribes
preferring Asiatic liquors.

WHEAT CROP is LIGHT.
Reports Get More DiscouraRing o the Farmers
Get Into Their Fields.

Reports Get More Dlscouraging % the Farmers
Get Into Their Fields.
"Not a bushel of good marketable
blue stem wheat will be harvested in
Dickey county this year."
Such is tho remark one of our pro-
minent farmers made to the Repub-
lican the other day. And from re-
ports we believe it is about correct.
There is splendid stand of straw.
Looks good enough to run twenty
five or thirty bushels to the acre, but
when you come to examine the heads
they are either empty or full of
shrivelled, shrunken wheat. Reports
are somewhat conflicting as to
the amount of damage done by the
black rust. Some contend that theirs
will yield almost full crop, others
place the damage from Is to 60 per
cent, while others claim that the
wheat isn't worth harvesting.
While there is no denying that the
grain is badly injured, it is estimated
even with the damage that normal
crop will be gathered. A report
from Fullerton says that Gregory
brothers threshed about half an acre
of injured wheat Saturday which
measured twelve bushels, and
weighed forty-four pounds to the
bushel. One of our elevator ,nen
showed us sample this week that he
said would weigh but thirty pounds
to the bushel.
The macaroni wheat does not seem
to be badly affected, and the other
grains will yield more than an aver
age crop. Wheat harvesting is now
general thruout the county, and the
thresher will soon tell the real story
