 The officers of the Ohio Mines com pany are Dr. H. W. Whitaker, presi- dent; J. H. Rogers, seeretary-treas- urer, both of Columbus, Ohio, and A. L. Mccarthy, general manager, re- siding at the mine.

Attacked by a Bull

One of the pedigreed Jersey bulls
in the Quechee Fells farm herd on
exhibition at the fair broke away as
ne was being led out of his stall
Wednesday afternoon and in his
sudden charge at the first person in
his path Horny w. Walker narrowly
escaped with his life.
Bert Morrill, was handling the
bull "Cretesia's OWL" with staff
and rope. The animal hadn't more
than got clear of the stall when he
broke away, lowered his head and
charged, striking Mr.. Walker in the
breast and knocking him over on
small pile of hay that lay there.
Cretesia's Owl with his 1900
pounds or more of beef, bone and
bad temper is pretty fierce pro-
position, and there was panic in
the immediate vicinity for moment.
Then the rope and staff were seized,
and the bull, which had kept his
victim pinned to the ground, was
pulled away and made fast in his
stall again.
Mr.. Walker. aside from the shock,
was little the worse for the encounter
apparently. Had it not been for
the fact that Cretesia's Owl, priced
member of the herd, wears turned
in. or bug" horns, (said to be
sign of good breeding,) not adapted
for goring, the affair might have
had more serious ending.

COUNTY FAIR NOTES

The attendance on the second day
made an average crowd, the cool
and cloudy weather in the early
morning doubtless keepingl many
away. There were over $500 people
on the grounds. :
For the three days the gate receipts
were $780, hundred or two dol
lars ahead of last year.
The hucksters paid about $40O
into the treasury.
The grand stand took $478, more
than double the receipts of previous
years, The new plan of charging
25 cents admission. giving return
checks, seemed to work to perfection;
the boxes were all taken and the
stand was crowded on both racing
days.
The Bridgewater band furnished
the musical part of the show and
made good appearance, led by Gen
H. G.. Aver ON parade.

degrees of amiabllity, went through
their tricks in good stlye, posing,
riding bicycles, making wheel go
round, and ringing bells as an ac-
compartment to Madam Vallecita's

1t was pleasant sight,
For everyone seemed happy
And filled with much delight.
The merry-go-round swung merrily
To chasteful music's sound,
And many people cheerily
Went round and round and round.
The races drew the eager crowds;
How fast the horses went
I got so interested
That l wagered my last cent.
And 0 the graceful leopard show
And the lovely lady there
1t is truly an education
To go to Woodstock fair.
In Floral hall saw fine things
Made by fair ladies' hand
Which showed both skill and industry,
Then went to hear the Band.

Also the oxen mild;
Although they are so large and strong,
They will not hurt child.
But the midway as they call it,
How much it pleased Papa
He hammered and he threw some balls
And got fine cigar.

MAKING LOVE IN, PORTUGAL
Chief Point OF Difficulty ls Getting
Admitted to the Presence OF
the Fair One.

The most important event In the
life Of Portuguese woman Is mar
riage Next In Importance are the
early days of courtship, for a Portu-
guese courtship Ia the essence Of ro-
nance, and the ways of the Portu-
guese lover are singularly picturesque.
Here is little drama In which Cupid
Is stage director. If young Portu-
guese sees In the street pretty girl
with whom he would like to become
acquainted. he follows her. Chaperons
are not impossible distractions. He
follows her right up to her very door
and notes the address. Next day he
comes again, and If the young lady APP
proves of him--for she certainly saw
him the day before she is ON the
lookout
Sometimes hard fate In the guise of
an angry parent prevents her, and
then the gallant youth Is kept wait
ing. Sooner or later she leans over
the balcony and smiles at him. The
happy youth ties note to cord
which the fair lady drops from the
balcony, The next day the young man
comes again. This time he rings at
the door. II the inquiries which the
young lady's elders have made prove
satisfactory, the swain is admitted to
make the acquaintance of the young
lady. After that, courtship in Portugal
is about the same as 1t Is in Kankakee
or Kalamazoo. -Leslie's Weekly.
