HANDS THEM A FEW

Texas editors have way of their own to handle shows that come to town and pass up the ewspape; ,ffices. Here is what the editor of the Sterling City-News Record says of an outfit that happened tha' way and did not even have the grace to offer the shop a ticket: Another show struck town Monday night. They had coyote menag- erie with a badger attachment Their music consisted of beef hide stretched over potato barrel, and the stink from the coyote and bad ger cages served to advertise the concern. Anyone who failed to see the outfit could smell it 200 yards. A number of.our boys and girls left quarter with the man al the door and went in to see the greatest giascootus cofumdum. After seeing a few giascootusss and hearing the man play few sonatas and oratorios on a photograph that was suffering from an attack of phthical rattletraipses, informed the boys that for ten cents he would show them some more, but most of them decided that the twenty five cents worth they had already purchased was sufficient entertainment for one evening and they all went home. Anyone sec ing 8 string of tin roofed hacks drawn by teams of emaciated ponies, preceded by a loud and vociferous eff1uvia of badger musk and altar de coyote, will know the great show is coming. You can tell it by the smell, but if the man wants to show you some more for ten cents, it is the show, sure.

Concerning the Unemployed

When 1t is said that there is work for everybody. but that requires some modification. It would be more correct to say that there is work for everybody who is in eco homie need of work and who can and will work. Many persons in economic need of employment act ually cannot or actually will not work, but when these two classes of persons are eliminated there still remains a number of persons who cannot find work in spite of the antiquated notion. no longer held by any considera ble percentage of students of social facts, that every body can find work who wants or deserves it.
 Since it is impossible always to distinguish between the unem- ployed honestly seeking work and the unemployed who profess to seek, but who would be very un- happy if they found work, all per sons in need of work who are capa- bls of performing it are massed together in the ssifica tion of the social economist as "the unem- ployed. ."-Exchange.

YOU ARE A MEMBER

LII cF9IJ IOWH IhClC 1Ie Iuiee sets of men-the fellows who ar, always planning and working te build up the town; those who arc willing to sit back and help afte, the first mentioned have started things; and last, the fellows wh' see In every move a selfish motive in short. the "knockers" You be- long to one of these classes. Either you are always boosting your town or you arc passive and let the other fellows take the lead and then help, or you belong to the class of men who carry their hammers in their hands while they look for some one to use them on.
 The first clasa mentioned are men who can look into the future, who know human nature and who take pleasure in doing good for the town, says the Whittier News. Some of these fellows are always starting things and finish few of them. They succeed . few times out of many and ultimately do some good. Then there are the visionary fellows who are always seeing great things but whose cool judgment and good business ability prevent them from allying themselves with any pro- ject save one they can push to com pletion. These two subdivisions of this class work together, the more conservative ones holding the more eager in check and at the same time being cheersd and encouraged by the more enthusiastic.
 Then comes the average plug citizen. Not as dashing as the others mentioned, he plugs along at his business, does the best he can, is good nsighbor. a good father, an honest and industrious citizen. To interest him in any thing you must persuade him that you are right. He will watch the booms started by the real boosters, and if they have the right appear ance he will help you. Usually he helps; when money is needed he will put up with a good natured protest, but he will put it up just the same. His town is always the best on earth and he can prove it by the figures. He is fully as inn portant to the town as the first named booster.
 Then comes the knocker-the most despicabls of all human be- ings. Seldom successful himself, he cannot see success for others. His venom is . great deal worse than that of the village gossip, and she causes heartaches at an appall- ing rate. He is constantly on the alert for something to knock upon. The country, the state. the county, and the city, are going to the ever lasting bow-wows. and he can prove it. The leading citizen is a horse thief. only it was never proved on him. The man of money made it crushing out competition and work ing the lives out of his employees. In fact there is nothing in the world that is good.
 In every town are these three classes of mon. You belong to one of these three. Of which are you a member?

The guardians of the tail-end posi- ton presented themselves at the prairie yesterday, and received their Usual dose of defeat, this time George Bones men administering the potion. The contest was slow and unlnterest- ing, the game going the locals direc- .tlon from the start. The Brass City agggregation put up a weak defense, letting the local men have their way throughout and barely escaped whitewash, managing to squeeze in a lone tally in the fifth session.
 The cause of their defeat lay In the stellar work of our Phil" Corcoran, who delivered the benders to Durant's followers. If ever Phil was in form 1t was at yesterdays performance. He was steady throughout the battle and only allowed two bingoes before the final session, when the visitors added two more. With men on bases Cor coran just served the pill over the corners and let the visiting swatters clout the atmosphere with great ener- gy. Blondy Zacher, since his inaugur- ation as captain of the New Haven team. has vented his acceptance of the :. office by continuallys belting the pill Yesterdays contest was no exception and out of three times at bat he started the horsehide on two safe aerial trips.
 :. Murray, the recent addition to the locals in the backstopping line, sprung few surprises on the fans yesterday His fielding during the week has been poor and his throwing 10 bases has allowed many of the locals opponents to purloin luwerous sacks. He also dropped a high toc' yesterday and , when he came to bat in the second in- ningnwith a man on third tie fans expected little of him. Murray shat tered the doubts of the crowd by lac ing out pretty bingo, scoring Sim mons. Exactly the same thing hap- 'peneds1f the fourth. With Simmons again on third, Murray struck out his stick and shot the ball to the left field fence and corraled two bases besides scoring Simmons. He could easily have stretched his swat into a triple, but remembering how he had got out in attempting to perform that at Hart ford the previous day, Murray was content with hugglng the second sta- tion., 7. .,.,~t ,."
 Bronkie. the waterbury's. Sunday pitcher, handed them up for the visi- tors and was banged consistently. Ills support. however. was rank his pals booting the ball and making wild heaves that resulted fin tallies for Bone's kids. Swander, besides pulling of pretty catch on what promised to be another extended swat of John .Reischman, did excellent work with the stick. Out of four blngles made by the Misltors, Eddie got two, one being for an extra base.
