Raised In the "SandhlIls" Have

Ainsworth. Neb., Sept. Especial
to The News: Yesterday was the
first day of the Brown county fair.
Though the attendance was not large
and the work was mainly in putting
the exhibits in place, Secretary Pot
ter says 1t was very successful day,
and the best first day in many years.
The exhibits are fine-are worthy
of the county that took first place In
the county collective exhibits, western
division at the state fair this year.
The only criticism that could be made
is that there are not as many as there
should be in a year like this when
everybody had extra good crops.
The watermelons from the socalled
sandhill regions are immense--Geor-
gia never produced finer looking ones
nor sweeter to the taste. Gale Worley,
who lives about thirty-five miles
south, has some exceptionally fine
ones.
The ball game was an intensely in
teresting one. 1t was between Mead
vile and Long Pine. At the close of
the fifth inning the score stood 6 to
0 in favor of Long Pine. In the sixth
the Meadville boys begun to win and
when the game closed the score stood
II to 6 in favor of Meadville.

Oratory and Its DANGERS.

Grand oratory is a new thing, and
it seems to be dangerous. Ulysses S.
never talked and therefore, never got
into trouble on account of his tongue.
1t is a good rule for soldiers and sail
ors, says the Washington Star. Even
politicians, whose business it is to
talk and who should study words in
all of their power both to enlighten
and TO confuse, often trip and find it
necessary TO issue supplement car
rying a key TO the first edition. In
this day Of banquets and addresses,
when everybody is drafted and few
smilingly decline, the plea of misquo-
tation is often made. But the fact re-
mains that the difficulty is more fire.
quently with the speaker than with
the reporter. The latter, as a rule, is
practiced in his duty, and has no ends
TO serve but those of accuracy, while
the Impractical speaker is liable to
say unattended things and regret in
tended things after they have been
said. Cold type is the greatest of eye
openers.

What ROLLING Stone Does Get.

After an absence of five or six
years, Ephraim returned to the little
town In Maryland where he had been
born and reared. From his brown
derby hat to his patent leather shoes
he was dressed in the tiptop of fash
ion. His first call was made on his
brother Bill a slow, plodding kind of
darky, who had never even been to
Baltimore.
Ephraim told with great enthusiasm
his experiences in Philadelphia,
Washington, New York, Chicago, St.
Louis, San Francisco and other
places, in which he had piled his call
ing of barber. He wound up rather
softly with:
Say, Bill, kin you len me two dol
lars?"
Bill looked with just touch of
scorn at the fine clothes of the wan
derer and drew a small roll of bills
from his pocket. He peeled off two
ones, handed them TO his brother and
said:
IT'S the old story, l see, Eph. a

Ephraim drew himself up, adjust
ed his coat by the lapels, flecked an
imaginary speck of dust from his
sleeve, and replied:

Rooster Fights Dous.

1t Is not often that a barnyard fowl
attains neighborhood popularity, but
such is the case with a large Massa-
chusetts red rooster belonging to
Charles Davis of AIS st. John avenue.
A few weeks ago Mr. Davis was at
tr'cted to his barnyard by the whines
OF half-grown setter pup he is train
ing. He found that the dog had been
driven into a corner, and was being
savagely attacked by the big cock, and
before he could interfere in behalf of
the pup it had been pretty heavily
marked by the ROSTERS spurs.
Since that time Red" as he has
come 10 be called, has become neigh
borhood bully, and refuses to allow
pigs or dogs to come within the
grounds under his rule. Curiously
enough. dogs will not fight back, but
actually run from his assaults. AS for
game cocks. he has probably thrashed

the city.-Kansas City Journal.
