Both trains at the time Of the accident were

1t will be remembered that the
question of voting on county
high school has been mentioned
in this paper. 1t has been dis
cussed since more or less through
the county, but perhaps not G.
nough.
The petition to the county
commissioners, signed by fifty
or more resident tax payers must
be presented to the commission
ers not later than their regular
October meeting. So if it is to
be done it must be done soon.
We have talked the matter
with number of people since
we mentioned it first and have
found supporters and opposers, =
with arguments on each side
not to be ignored. We explained
the matter to some extent in a
article last spring and discussed
it SO shall say nothing further
here. But we wished simply to
call attention to the fact that it
is a question for the taxpayer
and qualified electors; and if it
is to be considered further it is
for you to take formal steps.

and Jocko has ceased to struggle.
As tenderly as If he had been a baby
they picked him up. His little heart
still beat family, and through his
dim little eyes M looked up at them.
They were the men who had watched
him from babyhood, and he knew
their grief. =,
The band stopped the "circus music
abruptIy as one of the men bore Jocko
back to the animal tent. 1t was the
man who. but a few minutes before,
had placed Jocko on his favorite
mount. 1t was he who had fastened
the strap but for which the little fell
low might have jumped to safety in
stead of to death.
Caring little for those who saw, the
big. burly fellow carried Jocko in n
arm and hid his face in the other as
he made his way to the monkey cage.
He had taken the little fellow out
only a short while before, had romped
with him all the way to the big tent
and had given him a parting tap as
the ponies darted off. And he was
bringing him back dying.
Tenderly he laid him inside while
the other monkeys, dazed to see the
little fellow come home in any other
way than a romp, gathered o
ehattering their misunderstanding.
They o o saw that Jocko's life was
fast going away. The poor little
manned body lay pathetically still,
and but for the old light in the eyes
they could not have recognized their
bright, loving little charge.
He looked up at them ~piteously.
They had been so proud of him, and
he had loved them all. His little eyes
blinked a pathetic farewell to his
faithful guardians.
Outside in the big tent the band
banged away as a daring equestrienne
dashed around the main ring. But
there was no joy In the monkey cage,

entered in a pony race once around the
track. The champion rider, Jocko, the
finest monkey bareback rider in the
world, holds the record in pony rae
ing. He is number 4 and wears the

Out come the ponies and their little
riders. They are lined up at the start
Ing point and eyeryone's eyes are
STRAPPED for a look at Jocko. Down
goes the flag, and the ponies are off
like the wind, their riders clinging to
their necks.
Jocko is In the lead. A quarter of
the way he whirls, the others vainly
e~ndeavoring to gain on him. He is
half way round, and the crowd is
cheering the plucky little rider, when
suddenly he seems to lose his hold and
slips back on the pony's launches.
His grip is gone but he has not lost
his heart, and tries desperately to re-
gain hold.
Startled by the monkeys unusual
movement, the pony leaps forward.
Jocko tries to steady himself by
hanging to the pony's tail, but is
thrown suddenly backward to the
ground. In his little monkey heart
Jocko trusts his faithful mount to
stop, but the pony, unable to under
stand what 1t is all about, dashes mad
ly on, dragging his little rider.
Cheers die on the lips of the specta-
tors as the little fellow is bumped and
kicked the rough course. Attend

Grand concert will follow the main
