team at the Olympic games in London,
was telling some friends his first

He was sent to beat In one Of the

upon a crowd Of drunken rowdies who
were disturbing the peace

Why He Got a Pass.

Sig Conger, member Of the state fair
board, has a big heart. He believes
In repaying obligations. This is the
reason he issued pass to the recent
fair under unusual circumstances.
Conger was called from the admins
tration building by a messenger, who
said he was wanted at one of the
outer gates. Just outside the grounds
a man whom he did not know stepped
up to him.
I'D like to get pass to the fair"
he said.
"Why SOP" said Conger. what rea-
son have you for asking for pass?"
Don't you remember me?" said the
stranger.
Cant say that do" said Conger.
"Why, that's strange" declared the
man. II can't understand that. Don't
you remember about five years ago
when loaned you a wheelbarrow?"
"The man took my breath away"
said Conger Ibis nerve was so great,
