ROOSTER fight IN PARLOR
Battle Of Game Cock that whips
Himself--Put % Flight He
Returns % Battle Field.

Fighting roosters in the parlor
Of some Of Keytesville's best peo
pie is not a fad, and in fac
would not be permitted then
even as q passing sport; and yet
game rooster battled not only
once but repeated it in the parlol
OF Mrs. J. G. Wallace on Friday
last.
An outside door had been lef,
aiar, and the proud bird strayed
in unseen. He soon observed
another rooster fully his size and
almost his image. Feeling that
he was the better "man" OF the
two he crew thrice us q challenge
to battle. His double" seemed
as eager for the fray rs he. Time
was called, and a perpetual single
round lasted until MB. Wallace
happened into the parlor, where
the aggres or was battling 6ercely.
His opponent appeared TO him
exactly as much exhausted as he
looked to Mrs. Wallace, and he
was with difficulty driven from in
front OF n large mirror, upon
which his cruel spurs had left
numerous scratches. His antag-
onist was his own reflection.
Upon being driven out, he
showed resentment, and later
managed to get back into the
parlor and renew the fight. The
battle was a bloodless one, and
on being elected the second time
the rooster crowed loudly in
triumph over the fact that his
antagonist had not succeeded in
striking him a single blow, while
he had perhaps struck a thousand
that would have inflicted punish
ment severe had they landed as
he supposed upon an adversary.
This is the hst parlor rooster
fight in keytesville, and possibly
the only instance Of a fight Of the
kind on record.

SERMON FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Rev. sasrr ssiivsrsa Elsssea'
ADDRESS - Yesss Pssple
ueuss vvas Crowded.

Sunday nights services at the
Methodist church were very
largely attended. The sermon
was for young folks, with much
for people Of advanced years,
Rev. j. A. Snarr spoke very
pointedly and eloquently. He
pointed out that the best time
to begin leading a happy, useful
and good life is in youth; that
there is no necessity for the SOW
ing Of wild oats at any time in
life, the harvest thereof being
regrets in later years. The young
should not learn the bad effects
Of evil deeds by doing evil things,
The best way TO learn Is by oh.
servation. II is not necessary 10
get drunk in order 10 know that
drunkenness Is detestable and
degrading observation Of one
drunken man is sufficient to con-
vince a young person that liquor
should be avoided. The gambler
: is q walking lecture against young
people becoming victims Of the
mania for gambling. So II il
with a long list Of evil thing
they need not be praeticed to
know that they bring no joys to
life, but do beget much misery,
suffering and degradation.
The minister directed some
hard words at public card play
ing on railway trains, In hotels
and elsewhere, saying that even
II done merely for pastime
children who saw II would be
influenced detimentally, and that
what passing pleasure II nigh,
bring older people should be sacri-
feed for the young
After the sermon, during song
service, upon invitation, all the
boys and girls, and some Older
persons. who belong to the various
churches, went forward and SHOOK
the hand Of Rev. snar. Hs
desired thus 10 show his appe'
citation Of the early start made
by them on the road TO righteous
living. Much enthusiasm was
aroused by the hand-shaking and
no doubt many young people
resolved anew 10 struggle even
harder then in the past 10 live
right for MI time.

THE RETURN OF HARRY FIELDS

Tine biggest hit at the Princess SD far this season is without doubt, Harry Fields.
 Fun in a School Room" or Harry Fields School Kids, that was seen here some little time ago.
 This act is without doubt the greatest juvenile act in show busi- ness. as all who saw it on its ap- perance here wilyl testify. They are coming back for three days, on Thursday. Friday and Saturday oi next week with new songs, new jokes. and the act replenished with new stuff dances throughout.
 The reason for their return is that the demand for this act was so great over the Interstate Circuit, that they simply had to have them play these return dates.
 It is useless to try to give the reader any idea as to the newspaper articles that this act has received for 1t would take up too much space. but it goes without saying, that for a cleaner jollier, funnier laugh pro- ducing act has rarely been seen be fore the footlights on any vaudeville stage no matter when or where.

MARKET NEWS'
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Oct. 19.-Buying was conducted on a heavy scale in the stock market today. The effect was offset at times by extensive selling and at one period the market seem ed to be entirely in the hands of the bears. The end of the day of con tradictory movements, the list stood well above the previous days close. United States Steel the Lehigh Val- ley and Canadian Pacific male net gains of two points or more and most of the active shares rose b, substantial amounts.
 Trading in bonds continued on a fairly active scale. There was an undercurrent of heaviness in early transactions on the stock exchange owing largely to the active selling of American Tobacco 6s which yield cd more than a point to Ill, al- though recovering later. The 4's were we'll supported and other is sues developed strength before the close.
