of the country. At the Brattleboro fair

full exhibit of oxen, and in all the tests

children are among the best features

children watched the judges with
eager eyes as they placed the blue

J. D. Regain Of Warren county acted as
judge in the educational department,
and with so varied and large an ex-
hibit his is no small task to perform.
Fine collections of natural woods and
Mercer county seeds are exhibited by

FARM MACHINERY DISPLAY.
The display of farm machinery of
all kinds and of the most improved
kind are proving attractive to the pro-
gressive farmers of the county and
the fine collection of cake, bread and
other good things shows the skill of
Mercer county housewives. Lovers of
beautifully painted china will be inter
ested in the fine specimens there, and
the work in photography which is on

Out OF the silence, dim and drear,

Bringing its message Of loving cheer,
And life doesn't seem the same.
Existence, that arid and barren plan,
With rosebud happiness blooms again
For the bird in my heart awoke and

song that was sweet TO hear,
And loves melodious joy-bells rang
Their chimes, SO silvery clear.

LEISURE CLASS
IS DISAPPEARING
Prospect of Being Put to Work
on Streets of the City Has
Good Effect.
FEW HOBOEs IN THE TOWN
Park Benches at Spencer Square Are
Vacant for the First Time in
Many Long Years.

Anybody who opposed working pris-
ago, and who may still persist that il
is not a good plan, will have another
argument 70 down when they take q
look at the park in the business cen
ter and find that there is a dearth of
hoboes to fill the seats of the pretty
spot during the day and night, while
a few days ago there was barely
enough room for all. The change is
most noticeable. and many are com
menting on the fact. Some of those,
who We're pessimistic before in regard
70 the scheme, have seen the effect
and today they are staunch in support
of the idea.
OFF TO OTHER CLINES.
Apparently when they learned OF the
intentions of the city authorities to
work the prisoners the knights of the
road hied themselves 10 other places
where their presence would be taken
as d matter of course. Efforts TO rid
the city Of them entirely have met
with success. as has been proven by
the result OF the raid on the railroad
Yards and other places that usually
harbOr this particular class of people.
The police have never found more than
two OF three in their recent raids. Yes
terday the first prisoners were put to
work on the road between the Rock
river bridges. Today three more fell
lows were in the police station, candi-
dates for places on the working crew.
BENEFIT DOUBLE.
So it can be seen that the scheme IS
of double benefit. II has ridden the
city of the class of men who have be
come obnoxious not only because Of
their idleness, but also because Of
their number. While the scheme is in
vogue, there will be few of the re
peaters' in the police court court, for
Rock Island will be given a wide Der b
on their migration Then il is giving
10 the city an improvement which 9th
erwise would have To go by default
because of lack of funds. The roads
are being improved al little expense
