THE FAIR AT DEL N0RTE
Monte Takes Ball Game and Shoot First
Day Good Agricultural Display

was the trap shoot, three teams
participating-Creede, Del Norte
and Monte Vista, the latter win
ming first prize. The score was
Monte Vista los, Creede lO4, Del
Norte 90 For the prize of high
gun, Bert Collins of Creede and
Tucker of Del Norte were tied on
%. VIM Wempen of Monte Vista
and Mlt EIdred of Del Norte tied
on n birds. These ties we're to be
shot off Friday forenoon.
The afternoon was taken up by
some close horse races and the ball
game. Del Norte put up the
weakest lineup they have had this
season, while Monte's team was
greatly strengthened by having
the services of Toner, a Denver
pitcher, and the Anheier trio from
Alamosa. The game thus proved
ne-sided and was won by Monte,
10 to D. The batteries were Con-
way and Morrison for Del Norte,
Toner and Mcintosh for Monte.
Both sides started wolloping the
ball in the first inning, Monte Be-
curing 3 runs and Del Norte 4.
Toner then settled down and the
boys upstream only secured one
more run while Monte scored in
every inning with the exception of
three. In the third inning Con-
way had the misfortune of having
his knee thrown out of place and
the game was delayed nearly an
hour. Will Bond then went on
the mound and finished the game.
Morrison, Del Norte's catcher, WAS
unable to hold men on the bases, 6
steals being made.
The score by innings and sum-
mary are about as follows:
Innings ? 81 8 7ss
Monte Vista ,...3 o . %
Hits, Monte 13; Del Norte 8.
Errors, Monte 4; Del Norte 4. 3-

Mcknight, Morrison. Struck out,
by Conway 2, w. Bond 6, Toner
10. . Bases on balls, Conway |,
Bond 4. John Cochran umpired
and his decisions were entirely
satisfactory.
The agricultural display would
be hard to beat in any county ex-
hibit anywhere, so far as variety
and quality of vegetables, grain
and grasses are concerned. Good
specimens of fruit demonstrated
that apples can be successfully
grown in the San Luis valley.
The display of canned fruits, jellies,
and flowers was very fine.
Chisholm Brothers, as usual,
had very large display of almost
everything which was artistically
arranged. One thing that attract
ed general attention was sugar
beets weighing six TO eight pounds;
also alfalfa, which has been sadly
neglected in the valley, is rapidly
coming to the front, as demon
straied by the samples shown at
the Del Norte fair. A 55-pound
pumpkin looked good to pie eaters.
On Friday the ball game be-
tween Alamosa and Monte Vista
was good exhibition and was won
by Monte, score II to 6 Nc.
knight pitched for Monte.
The Monte Vista Gun club won
the trap shoot on Friday.

SHOW POLITENESS OF NATION
French Critics condemn With Faint
Praise" Bernard Shaw's "You
Never Can Tell"

Someone has said, or ought to have
said, that the French are past mas
ters in the art Of saying nasty things
nicely. This national characteristic
has lately been exhibited at the ex-
pense of Bernard Shaw, whose You
Never Can Tell" has been produced
in Paris.
The critics obviously know that
they are expected to admire the pro-
duction. but 1t is equally obvious that
they are, ON the whole. not consumed
with admiration. and they reveal this
opinion very politely.
Thus, the dramatic critic Of Gil Bias
writes: Il give it up. l want dramat-
ic art Of much less enigmatical ma
ture." while the Matin. after doing
justice to the literary and dramatic
qualities OF the play, thinks that in
spite Of them the spectator cannot
overcome the conviction that he is
watching clowns in circus"
But the unkindest cut of all Is that
of Comoedia, theatrical paper, which
informs its readers that Mr.. Shaw
employs methods of literary intimi-
dalton which would produce a great
impression on a negro tribe"

"a young man, while riding through
the timber country at willing during
a recent storm. had a remarkable es-
cape from death in peculiar circum-
stances. A large tree directly In
front Of him was struck by lightning
and split in halves. The horse he was
riding, becoming terrified, started to
plunge, and jumped through the gap
between the halves of the tree. At
that moment the halves came to-
gether with snap like a rabbit trap.
and crushed off a length Of the horses
tail, which can still be seen protrud-
ing from the tree. The young man
received a severe shaking, but other
wise came through the ordeal safely"

WHEN LATIN is ABBREVIATED
inscription on q Pension Check
Proved Difficult to Translate, but
Was Finally Solved.

A letter from Maj. William Grebe
of Bonner Springs to the Kansas City
Star some time ago inquired the
meaning Of the Latin inscription
which adorns the seal on the new PEN
sion checks. The inscription runs,
"Thesaur. Amer Septent. Sigil." The
major, who has read Caesar, Cicero,
Virgil, Horace and a number Of other
Roman authors, to say nothing Of He
rodotus and a few OF the Greeks, ad-
mitted 1t was beyond him. And small
wonder. 1t was also beyond two high
school Latin teachers to whom 1t was
propounded.
Finally a girl of sixteen dug out the
meaning. The four Latin words sig
nifty THE Seal of the Treasury Of
North America" All the Latin words
are abbreviated In the inscription, and
"septent," which was the sticking
point" in the inscription, Is not verb,
as one might very easily suppose, but
an abbreviated and somewhat unusual
adjective meaning north. The first
two syllables are a changed form Of
the Latin word septem, meaning
seven. The way "seven" happens to
be in an adjective meaning north"
is that the ancients, who were great
star gazers, associated the north with
the seven stars forming the constella-
ton of the Great Bear.

penmanship and Business Failure.

Penmanship and Business Failure.
In the past few months 1903 persons
were sent out by an employment bu-
reau to fill clerical positions. Only
1,444 out OF this number proved sat
isfactory. Poor penmanship is given
as the cause for the failure of large
majority, and an exchange, comment
ing on the fact, deplores tendency
among educators to neglect this most
essential branch in order to give
more time to advanced studies.
This condition may exist to a GER
tain degree, but it does not seem to
be absolutely conclusive. AS most
parents who are interested in educa-
tional work, especially that of the
public schools. know, sufficient time
and attention are still being given to
