THE FIDDLERS' TOURNAMENT.
Fremont County Herald

The old fiddlers' contest at the opera
house last Thursday night drew an
audience which filed the building. Old
and young were there, and the middle
aged: the dignifed judge, and the
members of the bar from two different
counties, and everybody said the show
was a good one Men who had worn
faces long enough to eat oats out OF
a churn ever since the dry weather
of last summer, smiled audibly. Judge
Arthurs parting injunction to the plat
form manager was to notify him with
out fail when the next contest was
billed, and wherever he was he would
at once adteNrn court and come down.
Old and r1tde aged people, we pre-
sumo, enjoy these contests better than
anybody else. The old-tirne tunes
awake memories of the long ago when
the lively jigs and reels put life and
nettle in their heels" Owing to the
inclemency of the weather only eight
contestants appeared, which was some
thing of disappointment All the con-
ties tants did well and their playing was
appreciated and praised. Sam and

TAKING MONEY OUT OF IOWA.

There is lot Of money taken out Of
Iowa to the coast every year. Men make
1t in Iowa and go elsewhere to live on
it. And this is often condemned as
unpatrtotic to the state which offered
the opportunity. 1t does look that way,
rights Is that mans property is his
own and that he shall be permitted to
take It with him in pursuit Of happiness
anywhere this side Of the grave. The
privileges Of property stop there.
Iowa could use the Iowa money which
goes to keep California on the map. She
needs it in her business. The state is
fun Of opportunities for it to work
and grow. Iowa is a producing state.

RULE NUMBER LOG.

II only one rule could be selected by
which to opera te trains it would neces-
sarily be One Hundred and Six:
I'm case Of doubt or uncertainty the
safe course must be taken and no risks
run"
There are plenty Of opportunities on
tho railroad to sacrifice safety for some
reason that seems plausible and OFFER
ing the right course. If safety is para
mount in the mind there will be no
hesitation or vacillation; there Will De
an easy solution Of perplexing prob
lens with satisfactory results.-llilnols
Central Employees Magazine.
It Is a good rule in railroading. If,
in the hurry to get passengers
on in hurry an engine had
not been run backward and day
coaches sandwiched between steel
Pullmans the wreck which made
Green Mountain the cynosure OF the
eyes Of the world FOR day might have
been avoided. Taking chances brings
the inevitable sometime result. One
can not draw the long straw every
time.
It's q good rule in business and NOR
ais. The banker who takes chance
is not a thoroughly safe banker. The
business man who takes chances goes
in the ditch If he keeps on running.
The man who disregards signals and
runs down the red lights which mark
moral danger strikes the washout,

somewhere and piles up along the
track. When he does his job is lost
and his clearance papers gone.
Mum Der los is a good rule in life as
in railroading. 1t should be printed

rules thus:

TAINTY THE SAFE COURSE MUST
BE TAKEN AND NO RISK RUN.
