horse and let him go. crept head irst
into large ant-bear hole for nights

Sleep was out OF question. sup

before long it really seemed as if 1
had settled down in village of wild
pigs and insulted the whole commu-

that if disliked the noise fairly

was enveloped. 1t was hard work for
me to keep from kicking necessarily,

However. I kicked the night through

Concerning the Mole.

Naturalists aver that among com.

ORIGIN OF FAMOUS PHRASE
Belief that Common Political Term
Sprang From = Horse Race Held
In Tennessee.

The political term dark horse" is
thought to have had its origin in the
following circumstances:
In the last century there lived in
Tennessee a "chara cter" named Flynn,
an elderly person VINO dealt in horses.
Flynn generally contrived to own a
speedy nag or two for racing purposes
If he could arrange for "a good thing
during his peregrinations throughout
the state.
The best of T!ynn's flyers was
coal black stallion named Dusky Pete,
almos, thoroughbred and able to go
in the best OF company.
One day Flynn visited town where
a race meeting was in progress. He
entered Pete. The people, knowing
nothing of the horses antecedents and
not being over impressed by his ap.
pearance. backed the local favorite
heavily against the stranger.
Just as the beasts were being sad
died for the race, certain Judge NC
Minamee, who was the oracle OF
that part of the state, arrived on the
course and was made one Of the race
Judges.
As he took his place on the stand he
was told of the folly Of the owner OF
the strange entry. Running his eye
over the track the Judge instantly rec
ognized Pete Gentlemen" said NC
Minamee, there's dark horse in this
race, as you'll soon find out"
He was right. Pete, "the dark horse
lay hack until the three-qnarter pole
was reached. when he went to the
front With rush and won the race.

The Days Work.

The days work counts
1t isn't what
You mean to do q week ahead;
It isn't what you knew you'll gain
When all annoyances have fed;
It isn't what you've dreamed and
planned
Such hopes are but a phantom
band
The days work counts.
The days work counts
The foot you gained
Since yonder sun dispelled the dark.
Next week, next month, next year
are vain
Unto the present summons bark;
How have you Jared ahead since
In garnering life's oil and corn?
The days work counts.
The days work counts
1t isn't much.
The gain of those few painful hours;
But be content if there is shown
Some product of those sacred powers
Which guide each mind, uphold
each hand.
Strive with the best at your COM
mand-
The days work counts.

A bill was passed by the House on
August 23d. providing for federal and
state support of a plan to maintain
a skilled farm demonstration in every
agricultural county of the nation.
The bill will come up for passage in
the Senate at the next session. The
time is coming right along when no
farmer will have any excuse for being
ignorant of scientific farming
methods. Wisconsin is quite we'll
supplied in this particular by the
University but a special demonstration
right here in Grant County might
not be a poor investment. when we
consider that the value of our agri-
cultural products runs into the mil
lions in a single season.
