The FAIR.

The Fair last week was a graft
flying success in all particulars.
The rainy weather on Wednesday
and Thursday materially interferred
with the attendance. and considera-
bly, reduced the receipts of the as
ISOLATION, but there were two days
of fine weather and the patronage
was so good that after paying all
expenses a nice little sum will
probably be left in the treasury.
That this was the best all around
County Fair ever held in this sec
ton Of the State is conceded by
both visitors and exhibitors and al

When the Birds Get Up.

One of the small compensations
for sleepless old age is to be awake
all night while the whole household
is asleep and listen to what is 60
ing on. l will give you one of my
nights experiences.
say nothing of the earlier hours
except that l think the blackbird is
the last to 60 to bed. At 2:3O the
robins song is heard. At 3:45 a
thrush flies up from somewhere on
to the base branch of an ash tree,
and there, after stretching out one
wing after the other and then his
legs and giving himself a regular
wash and brush up l can see him
plainly, for the tree is in front OF
my open window and bed-he he
Gins his song; his notes at first are
rough, as if he had a cold in his
throat, but in a short time he pours
forth his liquid music clear and
sweet as a nightingale. By 4 o'clock
all the trees are alive with a varie-
ty of songs of many birds, each
one singing his own song regardless
of harmony, the whole contributing
to one general harmony.
By $50 the music is silent,
breakfast time has arrived and the
lawn is alive with starlines, black
birds, thrushes, robins and spar
rows.-London Spectator.

Teddy Has Killed 1t.

And now the important news
has flashed owe. the wires that
Teddy has killed a dikdik. There
now that beats the record. Talk
about Washington. Jefferson, Jack
son, Clay. Calhoun, Webster, Lincoln
ETC., none of them ever killed a
dikdik. Let Teddy come forward
and expand his chest.-Platte City

Broken Arm.

GEORGE King, of near Hunnewell
came over to attend the Monroe
schools and to do the chores for DR..
in. Southern. Friday evening he
CAUGHT the horse to put it up and
in some manner the horse caught
and laid him up.
The boy started to get on the
horse and with the exception Of
the boy having a broken internal
cordyle of the humers of the left
arm that is all that is known about
the mix up.

Time is a curious freak at the
earth's poles, and when DR.. Cook
says that he reached there at 7
o'clock in the morning OF Tuesday
April 21st, 1907, his statement is
without certain meaning. Presum-
ably he carried Greenwich time, in
which tables for navigation are cal
culated. So at the time of his dis
covery it was 2 in the morning at
morning at New York. AS this
meridian runs to the North Pole as
well as that of Greenwich its time
also applies. So does the time Of
every other meridian, and in con

Not Proud of Its.

Somehow it appears that the Re-
publican party is not very proud
of its record on the tariff question
in the recent session of congress. A
few of the insurgents" are the on
ly ones who are doing any talking.
The stand patters" are as mum as
oysters, except Joe Cannon, who
opens his mouth once in awhile to
swear and call somebody names.

concerned are more than satisfied.
The exhibits in the arena were es-
pecially good this year. and the
special features were as good as
seen at many of the large parks
and summer gardens. This was
by far the most expensive Fair the
Association has ever given. Unus-
ually liberal premiums were award
ed and the special features were
costly, but in giving the people
something they wanted, and a little
better than they could get else
where, and at the same time hav-
ing something left over for a rainy
day." which always comes to this
Fair, the management feel that they
have done all that was expected
of them.
The success of the Fair this year
is very gratifying to those who
have labored so zealously for many
years to keep it going and the many
complimentary things being said
about it are especially pleasing tC
them,-Palmyra Spectator.

They are discovering several

opinion that Roosevelt will be the

The Cigarette Law Criticized.

1t seems farcical that a tobacco
mist who sold cigarettes to a boy of
eight years cannot be prosecuted
under the new law because the law
specifies boys from ten to eighteen
years. Possibly the legislature
thought that when boy under ten
years took to smoking cigarettes
the sooner he was killed off the
better. Weston Chronicle,
To Freeze Out the Little Fellows.
The Standard Oil monopoly is
selling oil at 35 cents a barrel in
Oklahoma, as against 81 elsewhere
What is the answer? Only a few
independent producers to be frozen
out and forced to sell to John D.
Rockefeller'S benevolent octopus.
Only a few more financial failures,
heartaches and suicides to be added
to the sum total of Standard Oil
crimes. Cape Girardeeu News.
