Mr.. AND MRS. BANTAM.

What became of the Little Bantam
Hen?" asked Ethel one night.
Every day after the Bantam Rooster
found his wife setting he came up to
call on her and bring her some nice It'd
bit. Some days it was a delicious piece
shining sunfower seed and then a wiggly
worm which objected very much to be-
ing carried upside down or downside up,
nobody ever seems to know which.
lone morning when the sun was shin
ing brightly through the cracks in the old
barn where Mrs. Bantam was setting, her
husband came up as usual with a nice
merry little twinkle in her eye and once
in a while he heard a queer noise that
seemed to thrill him and make his feath-
ers stand up straight.
Mercy sake he thought to himself, Il

Pretty soon Mrs. Bantam lifted up
her wing n a fuzzy little head poked
out and two beady eyes looked at Mr..
Bantam and they made him feel very
queer. He stood up straight and strutted
up and down as II he were king of the
earth.
My gracious! My gracious! he said.
To think that I now have some children

Peep, peep came the little voices
from under Mrs. Bantam. You are a dear,

"I can get them down myself said
Mrs. Bantam.
"'what? You Jake my dear children
down? Never. I will get Dinah.'

pulled at Dinah's apron so that she had
to go out to the barn and the Bantam
Rooster few up into the barn and Dinah
climbed up after him and found the Ban

The visitors also found much to
interest them in the cattle department.
The Judging, which was somewhat de-
layed Tuesday except as to the sheep,
is now going on in full blast and by
noon many of the ribbons were in
place. f. ]. Fletcher Of Greenfield is
the judge of the sheep. swine and dairy

Orono judges the beef stock. M. D..
Holt of Clinton is the judge of the

hundred people and some clever work
was done by the various transfers

ing contests will continue during the
forenoon and afternoon of the two re-
naming days of the fair
The fair crowd thus far has been a
very orderly one. Sheriff Colby Getch-
ell is here fer the entire week of the
fair and with him are Deputy Sher-
ifs John Dawson of Waterville, John
Eastman of Benton and David Ellis of
Oakland. The sheriff and his deputies
reported this forenoon that all was
quiet and there did not seem to be any
evidences of violation of law upon the
grounds.
The exhibition of horses in the en-
closure below the judges stand was
witnessed during the forenoon by a
good crowd. Non standard brood
mares. non-standard geldings and
draft horses were shown. The exhi-

Visitors Come Early.

1t was seen early in the forenoon
that the attendance Wednesday was
to be unusually large for the second
day of the fair. All the regular trains
were crowded and the special from
Newport which was run ahead of the
passenger train carried 500 fair visi-
tors Teams and automobiles We're
coming into the grounds long before
noon thick as flies.
The feeding accommodations on the
grounds this year are proving fully
ample, there being an unusually large
number of restaurants and lunch
rooms under canvass in addition to
the regular hotel and restaurants. The
Winslow Congregational church is one
of the local organizations that has
maintained a tent at the fair grounds
for the entire seven years that the far
has been in existence. A committee OF
ladies from the church serve lunch
cons and dinners and the pastor, Kew
w J. Mcneil. has general oversight or
the enterprise. The Waterville w. e.
r. y. for the third year has it's lunch
tent on the grounds and this year Mrs

For Sweeping Republican
Victory in Knox Co.
Enthusiastic Rally Held Last
Evening in Rock|and.
A Convincing Argument on State
Issues by Hon. ". B. Shelton.

Rockland, Me, Aug. 31.-(SpeciaD -
An enthusiastic Republican rally was
held at the Arcade in this city this
evening. 1t was expected that Con-
gresham Joseph H. Gains of West
Virginia would be one of the speakers
but an announcement was made that
all Of his engagements in the State
have been cancelled. Orel E. Davis,
chairman of the city committee, pre-
sided and in short speech introduced
Hon. w. b. Shelton of Lewiston as the
speaker of the evening.
Mr.. Shelton spoke upon State issues
and made one of the most logical and
convincing addresses ever made here.
He showed that there Is no reason
whatever for the charges made by the
Democrats that the present admins
tration has been one which has ex-
pended the money of the people in an
extravagant manner. He demonstrated
that while in 1909 the county of Knox
had paid about $4,000 State taxes and
had received from the State about SAT-
900 and in addition about $4,000 fer hos
pital and other appropriations. Mr..
Shelton was frequently interrupted
with applausees.
Republicans here claim they will
elect their two candidates to the State
Legislature and will greatly decrease
tine Democratic majority. in the county
if they do not entirely wipe it out. The
prospects for a sweeping Republican
victory in Knox are the brightest they
have been in years. The Republicans
claim they can elect their candidate

room for another person in the big
building. Gov, Fernald received the
finest reception ever given to candi-

He was applauded again and again.
His brilliant fellow speaker, Benedict

he rehearsed the record of the last

Gov. Fernald in an address which
commanded the closest attention of
the big audience shattered the Demo-

In commencing his speech after he
had gracefully expressed his pride at
the prosperous summer resort town of

say:
