No Rain at County Seat.

Again last evening the people in this
section were disappointed in not gett-
ing any rain, when everything seemed
favorable to heavy showers. The
farmers have about given up hope of
saving the remnants of their crops ow
ing to the continued dry spell. The
light showers last evening helped only
to lay the dust, but were of little

WINS LIVE DUCK;
JOKERS MAKE 1T DRUNK

ALTON. H., Dec. 25.-William
Keil's duck got drunk on four glasses
of beer. Now William is chasing the
duck.
Keil went from his home in Alton
TO E s. Kennedys saloon in East Al
ton, and played euchre and won the
bird. Tying Its feet together he threw
II in a corner and shuffled the cards
again for a goose.
Several OF the boys" who believe
that the old dinner pail should be
kept full on Sundays as we'll as on
working days, were making regular
trips from their homes to the bar
and surreptitiously they gave beer to
the duck
When Keil reached home he cut
the string and turned the bird loose
in the back yard. II fell down and
bumped its bill. II staggered aim
lessly about the yard. 1t picked fights
with the chickens and finally II hook
ed one of It's wings around clothes
post and went to sleep.
Keil didn't know what was the mat
ter until the jokers called him on the
telephone and asked him how the
duck was handling It's package"
Its got an awful head this morn
ing" said Keil. Guess I'll have to
take it to a quack doctor"

AUTO CLUB MEN
TO LEARN TO FLY
THEY DECIDE TO ENTER AERO
NAUTICAL FIELD AND OBTAIN
USE OF MORRIS PARK.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.--Following
the lead of its foreign contemporaries.
the Automobile club of America has
decided to enter the field Of aeronau'
tics. An agreement made between
the new Aviation committee of the
Automobile club and the Aeronautical
society is TO be ratified by the COVER
nors OF the Automobile club. The
agreement secures the use Of Morris
,, park for members of the Automobile
club, who wish to experiment with
flying machines, while the members or
the Aeronautical society are given the
privileges of the club house for meet
ing purposes.
The new venture of the Automobile
club of America is not viewed with
complacency by the members OF the
Aero club Of America. Members o.
the latter society fear that the Auto.
mobile club will endeavor. with the
assistance OF the Aeronautical society.
to monopolize the experimentation In
heavier-than-air machines, and that
the Aero club of America which has
heretofore held the lead In this coun.
try, will be displaced.
II Is the intention OF the Automo-
bile club to confine it's attentions to
heavier-than-air machines, as these,
because OF their motors, are more
closely related to the automobile. II
is in this branch of the science OF
aviation that the Aero club OF Ameri-
ca has excelled.
That the Automobile club has any
intention OF monopolizing this branch
Of aviation was denied by s. NJ. But

Lear, OF Southold, l.. l.. spent last
night in the Riverhead Jail charged
with stealing a Stradivarius violin

and he and the violin became insep
arabic companions.
When his time expired he fingered
about the farm, for he simply couldn't
leave the old violin. He pleaded with
Lear to sell II TO him, but the farmer
said no money could tempt him to part
with his treasure.
After Machonas left the village Far

expected the hand car to leave the

such catastrophe did not happen.
The swinging Of the car was awful,
and Jacobson could only sprawl along
the walk board on top of the car and
cling for his life.
Finally near Arnold the up grade
stopped the car. When the neighbor-
