NICK LoNGWORTH'S BAD GUESS.
Missed Chance to Get Horse Named
for Him by Picking Wrong One.

Missed Chance to Get Horse Named
for Him by Picking Wrong One.
A story that | recently heard about
Nicholas Longworth and H. NJ. Zieg-
ler the noted Cincinnati owner Of
thoroughbreds, reminded me of some
thing said a Washington owner of
race horses who recently returned
from a visit to New Orleans, says the
Washington Star.
The story goes that some years
ago Mr.. Ziegler, the intimate friend
of Mr.. Longworth, took the latter
down to his Kentucky thoroughbred
farm to show him his collection of fine
yearlings.
'All of these yearlings were as yet
unnamed
Longworth,' said Ziegler, as they
strolled about the stalls, you'd better
let me name one of these yearlings af-
ter you. They're a swell bunch, and
Almost all Of them are well-nign bound
to do something big in the world
II don't mind, was Nh Long
worth reply But I'd like to be sure
OF bestowing my cherished name on a
real good one. I'd hate to have a bad
one running in my name. My friends
Of a racing turn would be guying me
al! of the time about my namesake's
| performances
''Well,' said Mr.. Ziegler. you're a
pretty good judge of a race horse your
self. Now, here are two of my cracks
in these two stalls. I'll have 'em led
stable hands, and you can look them
over and take your pick of them.
/ Whichever one you like the better I'll
name after you
Done said Mr.. Longworth. and
the two yearlings were led into the
open
They were both fine lockers, but
/ Nh. Longworth liked the appearance
of the larger one of the two the bet
/ ter.
That one,' he said pointing to his
pick. He looks good to me-.
He christened Mick Longworth, "
then, said Mr.. Ziegler and the colt
registered with the jockey club under
| that name.
h. h,rr nf 1,o r.
which Mr.. Longworth made his selec

/ Sounds kind O familiar to you, EN-
| that name, Hermis? Well, | should
! think it would sound familiar, seeing
that, in the deliberate belief of many
OF the most astute horsemen in this
country, Hermis was absolutely the
finest race horse ever foaled in the
United States, speed and distance
marvel, a bulldog who never knew
when he was beaten, and an ANNA
worthy to be ranked with the very
greatest race horses of all time in this
or any other country.

Superintendent Shepherd Of the

to attend the entire session and most
| of them will live in tents.
Secretary Byrnes Of the Assembly
has information from several nearby
towns that many will attend the AS
sembly this year that nave not beer
here before. This years assembly
ought to be a record breaker in point
of attendance.
Mr.. and Mrs. O. A. Goodrich came
up from Sioux City Monday to spend
a week or SO with Mrs. Harlan.
While here Mr.. Goodrich will exam
inc the Beloit water power and figure
out a program for the building of a
new s~teel-concret dam that will give
something like 300 horse power. The
new dam, we hope, will be built o
Hurrah for Vermillion. That
splendid city down on the Missouri is
going to send a large delegation to
the Canton Assembly this year. Bro.
Shepherd will bring a numerous body
guard along with him, and Canton as
sures them in advance that so long as
they carry Bro. Shepherds banner,
they can have anything they want
from a front seat on the platform to
| the best tent on the grounds.
Many of Miss Katharine Gemmill's
friends gathered at her home last
Thursday evening to give her a sur
| prise welcome. With her mother and
| sister she ven for a drive after din
ner. Returning quite late Mr.. Gem
mill met them at the door with a re-
quest for one song before they went
| up stairs. 1t was "Way Down Upon
the Swanee River"-and sung with
indescribable sweetness. When she
came to the chorus-other voices
Joined with hers and still others un-
til the rooms were filled with melody.
The startled song bird stopped-ex-
claiming, "What is it? Is some n
surprising me?' Stepping into an
other room she saw standing before
her the members OF the G. G. c. Club
and other friends, "Oh, girls, l am
SO glad to see you," burst from her
lips and then her sweet face was bur-
led in her hands. 1t was for only a
moment, then loving greetings we're
exchanged. When the last girl friend
was embraced, from somewhere came
tine boys and while they did not re-
ceive the same welcome IS their more
fortunate sisters, they were made to
feel she was glad they were there. A
pleasant half hour vas spent in ex-
change of compliments and converse
tion when all said good night to the
tired traveller with a feeling Of joy
that she was home again. Before
leaving Mrs. Gemmill extended to all
an invitation to her home for Tues
day evening of this week. Mrs. Gem
mill is a gracious hostess and no lady
in our city is more beloved by the
younger members of society.

of being nominated for the Office OF
county superintendent four years ago,
and it has been generally conceded
that he would be the logical successor
of Prof. Geo. Dean, the present coun-
~ superintendent. He needs no in
production to the people of Lincoln
county, and his ability as an educator
ID recognized by all. Prof. Lawrence
has q host Of friends all over the
county who will probably show their
appreciation of his fitness for the

clamation. He is worthy Of the honor
and the educational interests Of the
county will be progressive under his
