of fun throughout and everyone did
excellently. In fact, the work was so
uniformly good that it would be inn
possible to particularize without do
ing injustice. Several good songs
were sung during the action of the
piece, all of which were well re-
ceived. Lynn Purdin of Ashland as
sisted in the training OF the young
people and superintended the make

THE FLYS BALANCERS.
Without These Organs the Insect
Would Tumble to the Ground.

The insects Of the Diptera order, to
which the common houseay belongs
have, as rule, one pair OF wings and
rudimentary remnants of another pair
in the form of club shaped organ on
either side of the thorax behind the
wings. These organs are called "bal-
ancers' and, as experiments have
shown. are indispensable in the main.
tenance of equilibrium.

moved cannot direct its flight, and If

RARE BEN JoNSoN. =
He Was Fat and Coarse and a Worse
Bully Than Or. Johnson.

He Was Fat and Coarse and a Worse
Bully Than Or. johnson.
Rare Ben Jonson." who is admired
by everybody and read by nobody. was
a distinctly unpleasant individual who
had few real friends during his life
time. good many people pretended
to like him and enjoy his society be-
cause they were afraid of him. He was
not only vindictive with his pen. but he
was quick to imagine insults or Sights
and was prone to resent them with his
fists.
Originally a bricklayer, he was big
and burly and strong as a government
mule until so weighed down by fat that
he could scarcely navigate. After re-
covering from sickness once he said
he had been at deaths door. where
upon some forgotten humorlst re-
marked that death didn't have a door
big enough to admit him.
Jonson had a powerful frame and
huge, hairy hands; his face wps heavy
and florid. the lower part covered with
iNhuASh W hlohtlot anu was tAAlChlC-
ly slovenly in his dress. He was a
worse bully than Samuel Johnson. The
latter. with all his faults, never raised
a rough house.
Jonson fought two duels and killed
his man on both occasions. His first
was with soldier during wartime,
and he was not brought TO account for
that. Later he killed an actor with
whom he had some trifling quarrel and
! for this was sentenced to death. The
sentence was commuted. hut he was
branded upon the hand before being
given his liberty.
His life was stormy. and when he de-
! parted there was no overwhelming
grief The fact that his name remains
household word is strange. for not
one man in a million has ever read his
works.-Chicago News.

FAIR CIRCUIT FORMED.
Lane, Douglas and jackson Counties
in Combine.

Roseburg, March 5.-As the result
of the recent procedure of the Ore
gon legislature in dbolishing district
fairs, residents of Lane, Jackson and
Douglas counties met here today and
organized what will be known as the
Southern Oregon Fair Circuit. The
organization will he affiliated with
the North Pacific Fair Association,
which recently met at Salem.
The first fair on the southern Ore
gon circuit will be held at Medford
on September 10, IL, 10 and 13, fol-
lowed by Roseburg's fair on Septem-
ber II, IS, 10 and 20. Lane coun-
tvs fair will be held at Eugene Sep
tember "a, 25, 26 and 27. From
Eugene most of the stock and exhib-
its will be shipped to Salem for the
State Fair, which will be held the
following week.
The racing programs for the three
southern Oregon fairs are as near
uniform as it was possible to make
them. They include the usual trot-
ting, pacing and running events.
The purses for each of the three fairs
aggregate $3,775. AS far as linanc-
ing their respective fairs, the three
counties included in the organization
will be distinct, their affiliation be-
ing chiefly for the purpose Of ar
ranging race cards and dates which
will not conflict.
