Am Unappreciative Valet.

It is doubtless. difficult for a conscien-
tious valet to determine where per-
quisites end and theft begins, but the
valet of Professor Lenbach, the famous
Austrian portrait painter, seem to have
been more conscientious than most val
cts. He loved order, and NJ place is SO
difficult to keep in order as an artists
studio. So he invariably cleared away
all thesketches which he found messing
about the place and sold them cheap to
picture dealers or bartered them for to-
bacco. Professor Lenbach, having the
untidy instincts Of the painter, no SOON
er discovered this than he raised objec-
tions. The valet explained that he re-
garded his masters sketches as worth
less. The explanation does not appear
to have Modified the professor, for he is
prosecuting his valet.-Pall Mall Bud.

Road Notes.

Over the ordinary roads of North Caro-
lima two bales of cotton are a sufficient
load for two mules. On the macadam
roads two mules can haul 10 bales.
The primitive township road law is
in vogue in Alabama, and the roads are
bad.
Farmers in North Carolina are OPP
posed to road improvement because Of
the expense.
There Is a need of science inroadmak-
ing.

First Show of New Association Was
Success.
The first annual show of the Mar
shalltown Poultry and Pet Stock AS
ISOLATION was brought to a close Sat-
urday night, and the residents in the
neighborhood of I'inkles hall will not
feel right for a time, because of the
absence of the noise made by the hum
dreds of different varietis of fowl life.
The show was Il success in every way,
and the officers feel greatly encour-
aged over the outlook for future eXhi-
billions. Those in charge of the new
association tried to revive the inter-
est among fanciers after the years that
elapsed since the old association gave
it's last show. In this the new asso-
citation was successful, and had the
weather not been SO severe, a much
larger SLOW would have resulted, both
in number of the birds shown and at
tendance Of patrons. AS it was the
association will come out a little bet
ter than even. The number of entries
was cut down about half, because
breeders did not wish to risk the cold
weather in shipping from distant
points. In many cases, entries had
been made and money paid in, before
it was found not advisable to ship. A
great many of the birds on exhibition
here were sent to Waverly, where Il
show is to be conducted this week,
and others were shipped to points in
Illinois.

badly the most important event in
their history Saturday night, when
their new hall, recently completed,
built to supplant the structure burned

was formally dedicated. Grand Master

at Albion to take the services in charge
and visiting delegations of Odd Fellows

We're present.
The new hall was taxed to its ut
most capacity to accommodate the
crowd, as the ceremonies of the dedi-
cation were public. 1t is always Gus
the grand master to make a lengthy
address, but Mr.. Tufford dispensed
with the rule and spoke only briefly
after Chaplain Jesse Cole, of the
Soldiers Home, had delivered the
principal address. Chaplain Cole is one
of the Iowa lecturers on Odd Fellow
ship, and his address was mastery
effort, of especial interest, of course, to
the members of the order. Mr.. III. C.
Chaplin, of Union, a member of the
el'and lodge, representative from Har-
DIN county, made a few remarks during
the evening.
All of the stations of the grand lodge,
as is customary upon occasions Of ded-
ication, were filed Saturday night.
