CASEY AT THE Bat"

Casey at the Bat" a classic,
was written, we read. by Ernest
L. Thayer, college chum of
William Randolph Hearst. When
the latter left Harvard in 1885
to take charge of United States
Senator George Hearst's San
Francisco Examiner, Young Thay-
er went along. He wrote hunor-
Gus stuff for the paper under the
pen name 'Phin."
Casey at the Bat" was one
OF his contributions. Within
few years he returned to Mas
sachusetts to carry on his fathers
wooden business. The woolens that
he turned out, we presume, have
gone the way of all woolens, but
Casey" is still going strong.

FAMOUS FABLES-(NO. ~
The fable OF a certain test,
which proves defeat is often hest

- Fred Wilson lived In great con-
tent, and bIIthely titled his land
the products raised by this kind
gent were always in demand. When
crops OF other men would fail, his
flourished just the same. the pro-
ducts that he placed on sale won
him success ard fame. And a. he
earned the high esteem of people
far and near; he was contented II
would seem. he had much cause
for cheer. But then one day some
men or note approached kind
some Maynard goat. they found
this man instead. Good fellow"
thusIy did they state. you've
earned thu peoples grace. for Con-
gress we need a candidate, will you
make the race?" SO Fred an
nOunced this wondrous news. the
town folk voiced citation, then Fred
proclaimed his lofty views, and
won the nomination. His lands
were left to their own fate, they
were q sorry sight. for now lie was
q candidate, he cared not for their
plight. When finally election day
dawned In the little town. and Fred
assumed the proper sway, men
shouted his renOwn. The people
cheeFed him In their RIee, and
raised an awful din; they praised
the Congressman to be, and saId
that he would win. But hours
later quiet prevailed, twas sad
about the street, the loyal voters
wept and walled. for Fred had met
defeat. But Fred recovered from
his blows. and resumed his former
ways; tits said the pumpkins he
now grows no Congressman can
raise.

.Grandpap
and Henry
By DAMON RUNYON.

<<~ ON" my grandpap says to
me one night, ''you young
~ squirts think you are very
hot sports nowadays, but you are
nothing compared to me when 1
am your age. No sir" my grand
pap says, "you are nothing what
ever.
When 1 am young and full Of
speed" he says, 81 am in for
everything which may be going on,
no matter what the proposition
happens to be. Among other
things, I am very fond of cours-
ing, which is a matter that is done
with dogs called greyhounds, and
also with rabbits.
ST own a DOLBY the name OF
Henry" my Grandpap says, land
there is no doubt Henry is the
fastest dog in creation. He can
run rings around any other dog in
these parts. and when a rabbit
gets up in front of Henry 1t is no
contest whatever. In fact, the
rabbit is only in Henry's way when
Henry starts running good. He is
20 cussed fast he is really not
worth much to me-" my Grand.
pap says, because nobody will bet
me when Henry is to do any run
ming.
K. *. well, one day we get word
from g. man in Denver by the
name of Campbell, or some such,
who hears of Henry and who
claims he has a dog much faster
than Henry" my Grandpap says.
gOf course this is great nonsense,
but this Campbell offers to let his
dog run against Henry for five
hundred bucks a side.
80" my Grandpap says, 1.-The
thing is all fixed UP. and the day
before the race this Campbell
comes to town, and sure enough he
brings quite a few parties with
him, who seem to have all kinds Of
dough. They liven up trade no lit
tie around the saloons, and fur.
thermore they are betting their
dough on Campbell's dog, which is
q big brindle dog by the name of
Rover.
Before the race starts" my
Grandpap says, 1.-THE Denver guy.
Campbell. comes to me and says
it is only right that I examine his
dog to see that there is nothing
doing with it in the way of hop
to make it run, and that he look
Henry over to see that everything
II Jake with my dog.
What he does do is to slip a
little rubber band over two of
Henry's toes, fixing it so that it
Is hidden under the hair, and max
Ing it very inconvenient for Hen
~ when he takes out after the
RABBIT fact, my Grandpap
says, does not take more
than tWo u three jumps before
he is running lamer than a one
legged man.
I-"I do not find the rubber band
on Henry's toes until the next
day, my Grandpap says, ''be-
cause / am so indignant about
Henry losing the race that / do
not have time to examine him un-
I'll then, and of course it is too
late to do much Of anything
about the matter.
f: But the thing that causes
most indignation in this town."
my Grandpap says. is not Henry
losing the race so much az it is
the fact that everybody has 10

money back from this Campbell

and another, causing much work

There is a matter which should be
well looked after by the citizens of
Belington. A suit is now pending
in the Circuit court of this county
over a number of lots in this city,
many of them improved, which are
now claimed by the State, some UNI
redeemed lots that have been sold
for taxes, the greater number claim
ed forfeited to the State for nom
entry upon the land books for per-
iod of five consecutive years. The
State claims that no taxes have been
collected on lots mentioned in the
bill of particulars, and it seems that
the court has instructed the COM
missioner of school lands to bring a
suit and to sell the land mentioned
in the complaint ]. Blackburn Ware
is the commissioner of school lands
of the county, attorney for the State
and also attorney for the city OF Be-
lington.
