CHANGES, EVEN IN SPAIN

Speaking Of points and pub
lie sentiment even that of Spain is
undergoing a change.
Once it was thought proper at the
bull fights to ride In the old. worn
out horses and these were gored to-
death, the audience exhibiting no
more of conjunction or Of compass
sion than the bull.
Now 1t is said a decree is to be
issued forbidding this cruel torture
of helpless horses at these enter
tainments. Thus will be eliminated
a most revolving feature Of the
spectacle.
A moot case this. should one wish
to discuss 1t, whether the Spaniard's
mental attitude toward cruelty has
changed for the better or whether
his appreciation of the value of his
neighbors viewpoints has been
clarified. Probably the neighbors
will credit the Spaniards for this
halfway observance of the humane
spirit, whatever may have been the
motive.

"Hop into the buggy" shouted the
Old Brown Horse to Uncle Lucky, on
hearing Bobbie Redbreast say that
Danny Fox, with bullying sack on
his back, had crossed the bridge over
the River Sippi to the Shady Forest.
Maybe we can catch the old robber
before he reaches home with your
dear little rabbit" So into the yell
low buggy hoped the anxious old
bunny man. and sitting down be-
tween Aunty Hen and her tiny
chicks, he urged the Old Brown
Horse to hurry.
Hurry, hurry, Old Brown Horse,
The River Sippi Bridge to cross.
We must not waste another minute
The fox's sack has Bunny in it."
also cried Bobbie Redvest as he flew
swiftly ahead of the galloping old
horse.
Click, clack! Clickerty clack!
Beat each foot with its iron shoe,
AS over the River Sippi Bridge
The kind old animal flew.
Yes, sir, the Old Brown Horse went
so fast it really seemed as If he were
flying. Would you believe it? Three
of his feet were in the air and one
foot on the bridge at the same time
Wonderful how fast that retired old
race horse could go. when it was
necessary. And. believe me, it was
mighty necessary at this particular
moment. Oh, yes, indeedy. One
can't de,ay when an old fox has a
little rabbit in a sack. Well, should
not three times and a half!
Back and forth. South and North
To and fro, East and West,
Swayed the creaky yellow buggy
AS the old horse did his best.
Aunty Hen gathered her little chicks
under her wings and the old gentle
mar. bunny pulled out his blue silk
polkadot handkerchief and tied It
over the top of his precious wedding
stovepipe hat and under his chin
He would have run hatpin through
the top sides of the old hat and into
his hair, had he had any on the top
Of his head. But he couldn't have
borrowed hatpin from Aunty Hen,
for she had left hers at home, and
besides, dear Uncle Lucky was bald.
Yes, sir, AS bald as the American
Eagle!

FIREARMS IN THE MAILS

The House Postoffice committee
has agreed to report bill to proven.
the sending of firearms through the
malls.
Considering the mischief that Is
done or may be done by sending
by mail firearms to anyone that has
advanced the payment for them
should taxpayers be asked to make
up deficits on that sort of mail dis
tribution?
II the sale of firearms Is confined
TO the local trade 1t ought to be
possible to make reasonably sure
the arms are not sold to those, who
should not have them. This is i'm
possible as a restraint on the traffic
by mail.
There are those who would not
permit such firearms to be sold.
Ii they prevailed here at home there
would spring up a system of bootleg
ging that would place firearms In
the hands Of crooks and keep them
from the hands of decent citizens.
But putting restriction on dis
tributing these unfortunately by
mail Is another side.

FAYETTE

Fayette came back to it's youth for
short time last Saturday night, and
all the COWS, hens and even the staid
old inhabitants were given a rude
surprise when the card club from
Dunn's Corner arrived at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Stevens for an eve
ning's entertainment. This is the first
time that anything of the kind has
occurred here for some time and it
was with some curiosity that people
watched the party as they approached
the village. They were in a happy
mood and the four-horse team driven
by Gilman Damren and Merit Dunn,
with it's numerous bells did not di-
minish the clamor to any extent. The
team left Dunn's Corner equipped for
an old-fashioned sleigh ride and looked
forward to good time after their
arrival. The people at home began to
get anxious as o'clock approached
and began to use the telephone. At s
O'Clock the team with it's human
freight drove into the yard. When the
party was counted it was found that
there were enough to make up seven
tables, one of the largest parties of
the season. There were of course num-
erous children that did not play, but
all told there were over 40 people pres
ent. At 11.55 the scores were collect
ed and 1t was found that Hazel Ken
dali and Fred Wadleigh had won the
prizes, a compact for the lady and
pipe for the gentleman. Then followed
the refreshments Of sandwiches cake
coffee and doughnuts, After eating all
that was necessary for their comfort,
and In some cases more. the musicians
adjourned to the piano, with Mrs.
Stevens at the piano. Roland Sedgley
playing the violin and Fred Wadleigh
the mandolin, many popular songs
were sung by all present. This marked
the final chapter of the story and the
teams were made ready for the re-
turn journey at exactly $50. Many of
the people reached home in time to eat
breakfast and then went to bed. We
hope that this will arouse the interest
of the people in Fayette to have some
kind of entertainment that will make
the winter months shorter. The next
party will be held at the home of Gill
man Damren.
