Every farmer who has poultry should prepare and exhibit some of his birds at his county fair. You can never tell just how good your birds are unless you compare them with your neighbours or with the birds of some reliable breeder. The costs are small and the experience valuable. It takes but little time to prepare them, and you will enjoy the blue ribbons long after the fair is over.

Napoleon III went gaily to war in 1870, and when the conflict had ended there was no longer Napoleon III. France was a republic.
 The pretext for Napoleon ITS war was trivial as the pretext for Franz Josephs war against Servia. Wars that are manufactured by dynasties and politicians often bring unexpected results, and history has habit of re- beating itself
 The fate of Napoleon III might be worth the consideration at this time not only of the Hapsburg and Hohen- zollerns, but even of the Romanoffs.- New York World.

Throughout the series the Braves

This shouting Of -scab" was Intended
as a rebuke TO Mack for advising his

MARTIN TRAINING A. AND M.

West Raleigh. N. c.. Oct 1.-THE Ag-
riculturaI and Mechanical College OF
North Carolina has ADDED something to
its stan that is new IN this part OF the
country. The athletic authorities have
secured the services Of Mike Martin as
trainer for the pigskin warriors. Martin
arrived this week from Washington,
where. during the baseball season. he
had charge OF the training Of Clark Grif-
fith's Washington Americans.
Martin looks after the players and sees
that they carry out the training regula-
tons. He Is a marvel when 1t comes to doc
toring sprains and bruises, and although
he has been here only a few days he
has gotten some OF the boys back in
uniform who have been laid on for some
time. During practice Martin keeps the
squad going at its highest gait, and after
the practice he has them to make several
laps around the track as fast as they
can 20. Already the effect of bis atten-
ton has become manifest in Increased
speed.
Coach Hegarty. now that he has some
one to look after the training OF the
team, viii have time to devote all his
attention to coaching in football tactics
Private" Floyd, one OF the greatest
tackles that the Red and White team has
ever turned out, arrived here yesterday
and will remain for some time Floyd

he will endeavor to plug up the weak

WOULD NOT BE THE aGoAr." /"

Fans In New York have criticised Ne

but the Giant manager had his reasons.
After seeing that the crowd had come
out to kid" the Giants because they

Graw. always loyal to New York. felt
this lack of encouragement keenly. Con-
sidering that he had won 1ve pennants
in ten years and finished one, two, three
on four other occasions, he cannot wen
be blamed for declining TO allow himself
to be made the target Of ridicule. Matty
also declared that after his fourteen
years OF hard work for New York, ne

WAGNER FOND OF DRAMA.

Honus Wagner is a fond lover Of the
drama. But he hasn't any use for the
folks who pronounce IT "Drawma-" In
cidentaIIy Honus loses himself entirely In
a theater and becomes so engrossed In
the plot that he sees it in q vivid and
sometimes horrible realism The Pirates
attended a performance of the Bird Of
Paradise" in Chicago, one night last
spring. The company was a capable one
and the boys declared the Hawaiian piece
one OF the finest they had ever seen But
Honus hung his head IN sadness as they
walked back TO the hotel He had form
ed a cordial dislike for one character in
the play. This was DR.. Wilson. the young
American research expert who married
and mistreated Luana, the beautiful Ha-
waiian princess The boys insisted that
this man was a wonderful actor and
probably performed all his vilIainy in
play acting.

reminded Rube OF his domestic troubles
every time he came TO bat. Whether II
hurt Oldring or not could not be toIa
from the expression Of his face. but the
fact remains that he got but one
hit In the entire series, finishing With
. grand average Of .067.
The new champs went after Eddie
Collins on the ground that he was a
little too conservative about spending
his money. Everything the Braves
had ever heard along that line was
brought up as the runners passed sec
ond. Not one OF them failed 10 shoot
some cutting remark at the famous
second baseman. and there 10 no doubt
but that II worried him.

a lack OF gameness. and accused him
OF being a cry-baby when snodgrass
