II was the last day of school i'm a
certain country district, and their
mother decided to take the twins to
the entertainment that night at tho
school house. John and viii we're
six years old, but had never gone to
school, and their spirits ran high
when they heard the news, In the
course Of tho entertainment there q
play was given entitled "A Modern
King In one scene the king was
sitting on his throne with one of tho
common people kneelinE at his feet
While pouring forth his praises to the
ruler, the grateful man said: God,
oh mighty king, what hast thou
done?" and the reply was: II have
made republic out Of n monarchy"
The boys were so we'll pleased
that they attempted to produce the
play at home the next day, John
dressed in bright coors to imperson-
ate the king, and VIII assumed the
role Of the subject, The play pro-
ceeded we'll enough until tho kneel-
ing passage was reached. Then the
subject exclaimed
God o mighty king What hast
thou done?"
And the kiugly answer came; 81
have made republic out of a
monkey"

Harvard Mans Grace.

A story is told about a young fell
low just out of Harvard, who went
to Arizona to find out what It was
like, He was affected in his manner,
after the English fashion and around
the neighborhood soon became some
thing of joke
When Thanksgiving came, all the
men without homes dined together,
and before the feast it was arranged
that the Harvard youth should be
asked TO say grace The boys wanted
to find out what sort of training ne
had received. When the gentleman
at the head of the table requested
the favor of him, he hesitated a
moment, smiled weakly and lisped;
"Oub Fatheh!' with uplifted fin
ger and then Jolly good lunch;
thanks awfully, old chap"

tho grand stand, bleachers and side
lines with enthusiastic rooters. Am
arillO people, from bank president TO

the good places and followed every
play with intense interest that keys
players to their finest efforts.
The old, senscless spirit of Jealous
luminosity between the two towns
made itself felt u few times, hut on
the whole IL was good natured
crowd, ready to give and take In
fair play. II was fight for every
score from start to finish and the
interest never tagged
The first game opened with peer
less fielding on both sides. Matters
went down in one, two, three order,
and until the fourth inning both
scores we're blank. Then Campbell
got three sacks through Amarillo's
fielding error and Bell, Amanllo's
old hard hitter, found Lewis for a
safe one which scored Campbell
Bell narrowly missed scoring in the
same inning but was caught at the
home plate by perfect throw from
deep center.
That was Canyons only opening
for scores, and Amarillo, on mis-
taken decision, was kept from her
only score in the eighth Jennings
In the eighth made run for home
and The catcher failed to hold the
hall, Ons called the runner out be
fore he saw the ball drop, and re.

II Jennings score had been al
lowed the teams would have been
tied in the first game. As It was
both teams went into the second game
with every nerve set for victory. The
two pitchers Wicker and Lewis,
with the support of perfect fielding
throughout the ten innings, pitched
games.
The score for both stayed blank
until the tenth inning, Then Lewis
got 4 two Dagger and Jim Bell, who
followed, picked his territory for an
other two sacker, which scored Lew
Is and won the game.
Thus If the score had been allowed
in the first game, the teams would
have played nineteen innings TO final
victory. for Amarillo.

Dear Sir: Here's a tale with three
or four tails to it.
Professor Irvine has an Academy,
Mercersburg, Penn. He paints the
floors in summer vacation. 1t used to
take 90 gallons of paint. There were
two paint stores there, and he used 10
buy lone year of one, next year Of
the other) 80 gallons year after year
Now he paints Devoe; 60 gallons;
and the difference is saving OF Sl5(
year.
Fl, c.. Fulton was one of those deal
ers. good man; but he wouldn' t take
up Deyoe; so we turned to the other, J
A. Boyd. But Fallon las found i
necessary to get a good paint to com
pete with Devoe. He got one of thu
eight honest paints. He has a hit
hardware store and is doing an ex
cellent hardware business; but Boyd
of course, has the run on paint-he':
a little hardware man.
We don't care how little or big
man is, if he wants good paint and i
active and sound.
Yours truly,
