The trades unions are entirely logical
In asking for restrictions on the impor-

Charles shall have the further advan-

This argument is now practically the
only one that has any direct influence
on votes. No one any longer believes
that our industries are 'infant;" that
they cannot hold the home market
against all corners: that our varied
natural resources. with our capable
workmen, do not give our manufac.
turers the better Of any competitors at
home and Of many even in foreign
markets. Nor do those who have mas

hog DISPLAY TO
ATTRACT CROWDS
One of the Best Features Of
The Festival Will Be
Swine Show.
SAM DUNLAP WORKS HARD
ENERGETIC LOCAL EXPERT HAS
INTERESTED MANY SWINE
RAIsERs TO EXHIBIT THEIR
VERY eEsT STOCK.

The finest display of hogs ever
shown in this city will be seen at the
South Fifth and A street market
square during the festival. Samuel
Dunlap, an expert. who Is chairman of
this committee, has spent several days
riding over the county, visiting hog
raisers and has been remunerated for
his efforts. Nearly every raiser of
fine hogs has promised to enter an ex-
hibit Of his best animAls.
Nearly all of thehdgs will be the
kings and queens E6s41e pork world,
being registered an eNgreed stock.
The different breedss~which will be
most prominently in evidence are the
Poland Chinas, Duroc Jerseys and
Chester Whites. These three breeds
are the most popular with farmers OF
this community and their display will
no doubt attract large crowd. Farm
ers will not be the only admirers OF
the swine. Residents Of Richmond
will take q great deal of interest in
them. the same as last year.
Prizes Are Liberal.
me prizes OIIercQ are exceptionally
good, considering the fact that there
are no entry fees. Prizes are offered
for the best boars and sows Of all
breeds and then there are the sweep
stake prizes. The hogs display will
be graded according to their age, hogs
over one year of age not been exhibit
ed In competition with hogs less than
one year of age.
The entries for hogs should be in the
hands of either Mr.. Dunlap or Secrta-
ry e. HI. Harris by October 1.
The attention to be given the hogs
is an interesting feature. Every
morning. the man in care Of the hogs
is expected to clean out their pens and
put in fresh straw. Afterwards. eth
or he or the exhibitor will get out his
can of lamp black for the black hogs
and shine them up. Some other shin
ing material will be used for the red
and white colored hogs. By ten
o'clock. when the exhibits open, the
hogs will look very respectable.

oriain Of Old Glory.

In the "reminiscences of Lord Ronald
Cover is found story of the origin OF
the stars and stripes.
The ''star spangled banner of the
American republic had its origin from
an old brass on the floor Of an ancient
church in Northamptonshire. The brass
covers the tomb of one Robert Wash
ington and is dated 1922. On it ap-
pears the Washington coat of arms,
consisting of three stars, with bars or
stripes beneath them. On the first day
of the new year, 1776, the thirteen
united colonies raised a standard at
Washington's headquarters.
This introduced the stripes of the
present. but retained the crosses of St
George and St. Andrew on blue
ground In the corner. In 1777 the
crosses were replaced by stars, as the
Declaration of Independence rendered
the retention Of the English element
unnecessary and inconvenient. In thus
adopting the arms of his ancestors as
his own distinctive badge Washington
no doubt intended the flag merely as q
private signal for his own personal fol-
lowing, but it was at once adopted as
a national emblem Probably there Is
not another case in the worlds history
In which the private arms of an OBJ
scure family have attained such world
wide eminence and repute.

The great objection to the use Of
poison for rats Is that they retire to
their homes and die there, to become
a nuisance and a menace to health.
Friends of the writer were compelled
to have the floor and wainscoting of
their dining room removed for this
reason. A wiser man, knowing that a
pair Of poisoned rats had got under his
floor, summoned not carpenter, but
naturalist, to his aid. They knew that
the rats were under the floor, but the
difficulty was to fix the spot. There
seemed to the owner of the house no
alternative to the removal of the
whole floor; hence his appeal to the
nature detective. The latter would
not hear Of the floor coming up. He
cried out for bluebottle fly. One was
captured unhurt and turned loose In
the room. After little preliminary
hawking the bluebottle darted to the
floor and remained on one spot. like
a pointer which has found game.
'Your rats are under there" said
the naturalist. They cut down through
that board, and there were the rats

Guarding q Nail.

A gentleman in Jerusalem told me
that he found a Turkish soldier on
guard in some part of the Church of
the Holy Sepulcher, where it was not
usual for sentry to be, and inquired
Of him why he was there.
He pointed to nail in the wall and
replied, 1T is my duty to watch that
nail"
Asked why, he explained that the
Latins or the Greeks-I forget which
had driven the nail with the view Of
hanging picture; that a rival sect
had furiously objected, saying that 1t
was an interference with their prop
erty and wanted to pull out the nail;
that thereupon the Turkish govern
ment had interviewed and set him to
watch the nail and see that no picture
was hung upon it and that it was not
pulled out.
To allow the picture to be hung
would have been to admit the claims
of those who drove in the nail. To al
low it to be pulled out would have
been to admit the claims of those who
objected to the driving in Of the nail
Therefore the nail must be preserved
and the picture must not be hung, and
to see that this was so an armed SEN
try must watch day and night For
aught / know he may be watching
still.-Rider Haggard's "a Winter Pill

The End of the Chase.

superintendent remarked that the door
of the violent ward was being repaired
and that the guards would have to be
unusually watchful until it was fin
ished. After dinner the ladies went
for a stroll down the beautiful lane
leading up to the main building. Sud
denly they heard footsteps as of some
one runnine behind them and were
Mortified on looking around to see di-
sheveled, wild eyed man pursuing
them. One of the women quietly
stepped to the side of the road. The
other, screaming at the top of her
voice. ran down the road with the ma
