Two young men from the country"

A High Compliment.

Civic pride" said Lincoln Steffens,
the noted reform writer, lis all very
we'll in its way. Humility, though. and
discomfort usually lead to better things
than pride and complacency do. and
whenever l hear any man boasting
over much about his city's excellence
l think of the civic pride of an old resi-
dent Of PEBBLES.
ITO this old man. who regarded Pee
bles as finer town than Paris, copy
OF Shakespeare's works was once
loaned. The old man read the immor-
tai plays for the first time. He en-.
joyed them nightly. and, on being
asked what he thought of them, he
slapped his knee and said in a loud,
enthusiastic voice:
They're fine! They're glorious!
They far surpassed all my expecta-
tons. Why, sir, there are not 90 men
in PEBBLES who could have written
those plays!"

Long on Contempt.

John Philip Sousa was condemning
the law that allows certain talking ma
chine companies to make records of
his famous marches and sell them
broadcast without paying him single
penny for the privilege.
Il have only contempt for such a
law as that" said the great bandmas-
ter. When think of the injustice of
it boil over with contempt. 1 remind
myself Of Washingtonian who was
hailed before magistrate for commit
ting nuisance.
THE Washingtonian had committed
no nuisance, but nevertheless the de-
cision went against him, and he was
naturally incensed. Forgetting him
self, he told the magistrate what he
thought of him, and was fined S. for
contempt
"He produced 500 bill to pay the
fine with. The clerk took it, searched
his drawer. then made as If to hand the
bill back again.
81 have no change he said.
oh. never mind about the change
snorted my friend. Keep it. I'll take
1t out in contempt"

Dangerous Discipline.

A popular Cleveland doctor tells this
story of a bright boy, his own, who
had reached the mature age of nine
after an early career marked by many
wild and mischievous pranks.
His restless nature has made him
something Of torment to his teacher
at times, and one afternoon not long
ago she kept him after others were dis.
missed and had serious talk with
him. Perhaps she was little afraid
that her admonitions were falling on
stony ground. Anyway, she finally
said:
II certainly will have to ask your
father to come and see me-"
Don't you do It," said the boy.
The teacher thought she had made
an impression.
Yes" she repeated, 81 must send
for your father"
You better not" said the boy.
Why not" inquired the teacher.
Cause he charges 81 a visit" said

Dam family" Tom Halpin or St.

Everybody and his wife were out
to see that parade, and 1t was a
dandy from start to finish. 1t was
the prettiest, longest and richest
parade Of any kind ever seen in
northern Colorado and better than
any circus. And why shouldn't 1t
be? 1t was gotten up entirely by
Greeley and other Weld county
people.
The morning threatened rain and
the owners of pretty and costly floats
were reluctant to risk their property
In shower, II it could possibly be
avoided. For this reason most OF
them were slow to fall into their
prearranged places. However at
about 1880 Grand Marshal F. f.
Stockover gave the word to start the
circus and accompanied by Judge
Charles Il. Southard, c. II. Rea,
Or. w, II. pelbridge and W. F.
Stephens as aids, proceeded west on
Ninth street followed by the Greeley
band and the parade was under way.
The parade proved to be so much
longer than expected that the origi-
nal line of march had to be extended

head tangled up with the tail end.

Good Roads Carnival,

A good roads carnival is to be held
at Chillicothe, Mo-, Sept. 3 to in
elusive, under the auspices of the
Missouri state board of agriculture.
This carnival or convention will be
held for the purpose of giving practi-
cal demonstrations in road construc-
tion for public discussions of this
important subject. The motto
adopted for the gathering is THE
Home, Then the School, Next the
improvement of Our Public Roads.
The subject is one that can hardly
be agitated too much in this or any
other state. We have much better
roads here, naturally, than has Mis-
souri,, but our roads are still not
good enough when it would be easy
to make them better. The roads
here could be made permanently good
for fraction Of what it would cost
to make the Missouri roads passahle
and yet they are going after the
trouble there in a way that promises
that they will have good country
roads long before we do Let us
keep agitating the subject until we
take some action for the betterment
of the roads.

THE FIGHT IS ON
Open War in Republican County
Ranks

A factional fight is OH In the. re-
publican party of Weld county that
now seems beyond any probability Of
reaching amicable settlement until
long after election. There has for
some time been war OH between
Chairman II. E. Churchill Of the
county committee and the office
holders In the court house. Outside
of both OF these was Representative
G. c. Townsend waging little cam
paign of his own and trying to join
forces with the cou:t house crowd,
while he and Churchill were saying
the most bitter things about each
other.
Last Friday 1t became rumored
that Churchill and Townsend had
patched up their difficulties and were
going to attack the force in the court
house. This they did to the queen S
taste in Saturdays Weld County Re-
