Eugene Field and the Halter.

At the time Eugene Field lived in
ST. Louis Leonora & Hart was a we'll
known firm that dealt in hats. Field
was regular customer, buf he never
paid cent. Finally Mr.. Leonora told
his partner never to let the poet have
another hat unless he paid cash Tor
it.
One day Field blew into the store
for another piece Of headgear. Mr.
Hart told him Of the new ruling, but
that never daunted Field. He talked
so effectively that he walked out of the
store wearing a new lid, promising
faithfully to pay for 1t.
After a reasonable length of time
had elapsed and no money was in
sight Mr.. Hart wrote the poet an
earnest letter, begging him to pay the
bill, to spare him criticism from his
partner.
Remember" he wrote, Il trusted
you for this--trusted you implicitly"
Field read the letter. Endorsed these
two lines on the back, and returned
to the finn:
Trust on. fond Hart, trust on"

Worn.out Billiard Balls.

On the billiard room a dozen tables
were in full tlast, and through the
hum of conversation the click of the
ivory balls came sharp and clear.
What becomes of your WORKOUT
balls?' said an idicr.
"Well," the man at the desk replied,
when a ball is only little off, it is
sent to the factory to be trued up. We
get balls trued up until they become
too small for use. Then we sell them
at so much per ounce.
After their sale they are carved
into various small trinkets. but in the
main they arc made into dice. OF the
forty or fifty balls rolling and clicking
busily here this evening, it is safe TO
say that 90 per ceat Of them a few
years hence will be working just as
hard ia the form OF Dice

Crack Fourteen Miles Lonq.

The second largest crack in the
earth in the United States has been
discovered in remote part OF the
Terlingua quicksilver district. about
ninety miles south of Marathon, Tex
as, according to DR.. William B. Phil.
Hips, formerly director Of the State
mineral survey. who is now operating
quicksilver mines in that section. Dr.
Phillips says that this wonderful
crack is fourteen miles long, and is
at no place under 200 feet wide. It
is 1S00 feet deep, The walls are al
most vertical. So far as known. no
exploration of the crack has ever
cen made, The country where it is
found has an altitude of about 5000
tset. II Is believed that an explora.
lion of the crack may reveal rich min
erals. particularly quicksilver.
The search that has been made re-
Gently for quicksilver prospects In
that section has brought to light
other interesting geological wonders.
II is stated by Dr. Phillips that fifty
extinct volcanoes have boon found
there. A number Of rich quicksilver
mines are being operated in the dis
trict, and preparations are being made
TO develop many other promising pros
poets. DR. Phillips says that the
quicksilver output Of the district this
year will be at least 5000 TASKS

Greatest Event of the Season
4 Canton's Great Epworth League
Assembly July 3-I5
Assembly July SIS

On July Ia, we will have with us
Eugene V. Dcbs, one Of the most
brilliant platform entertainers in the
country and one of the greatest ora
tors. He has been twice nominated
for the presidency by the socialists
and served six months in prision for
his alleged connection with the great
railroad strike in Chicago. Eugene
Debs will draw a great crowd. as
great as Bryan or Talmage ever drew.
In facial appearance he resembles
President Mckinley.
Nebraska became famous with her
'Boy orator of the Platte'' and Da-
kota may become as famous with her
'sBoy orator OF the Jim," FL. A.
Rodee, of Artesian. He will deliver
an address on July 10.
DR.. Scion G.. Bronson, a prince OF
preachers, and splendid Christian
leader, will be with the assembly
from the opening to the close. He
will lecture on Evangelism and Prac-
tical HomileticS Prof. Judson w.
Mather, an eminent musician, will
have charge OF the assembly chorus.
The Byron Troubadors, Miss Alice
Stire, the famous whistler, Miss
Bunting, the noted singer, and other
splendid attractions will be referred
to at length next week.
Everybody in the Sioux Valley
should try to enjoy as much Of the
program as possible. It is the best
program provided since the assembly
began.
To the public spirit and loyalty OF
Canton and surrounding country the
success of this splendid home attrac-
tion is due. The loyalty and public
spirit of Canton and surrounding
country will continue to sustain it,
for nowhere in the northwest is there
anything superior. One would have
to travel mapy a mile and spend a
great deal Of money to enjoy what we
will have in Canton from July 3 tc
July Is.

or less patriotic than Madison? We

knows that our people always respond
promptly when called upon to sup
port this magnificent home attrac-

Grandpa Sears, as all love to call
him, will have reached the remark
able age Of one hundred and one years
on Saturday of this week, June %.
He had one hundred and one cards
printed at the Leader job rooms last
week expressing his sentiments and
his faith in God, which he will give
and mail to his friends. He is a re-
markable man, taking great interest
in current events. His eyesight is
not good but with the aid of his cane
he walks all over town alone and
walks with vigorous step. He is
engaged in breeding a new variety OF
potato and hopes to produce satisfac-
tory results this season from the seed
lings raised last year. All Canton
wishes him happy and pleasant
birthday.
