of cancer.
The Weston Leader calls the Milton
paper an "Heagul' and says the editor
began life as a low,' wood-sawer, and
the Eagle man retaliates by accusing
the Leader of mismanagement and us
ing "dead patent medicine advertise
ments to "fill up" on, and in an easy
off-hand manner, playfully calls the
editor a specimen of the genus hobo, or
homo. 01 those horrible editors! and
yet we don't believe either of them
but that's got nothing to do with the
World's Fair.
Although rather early in the season,
now is the right time to begin the agi
tation of our Annual Horse Show. Last
yeas there v. ere many fine horses on

nearly double the number this year, if
we commence in time and let horsemen
know we are prepared for'alljcomers.

Base Ball Season Opened.
The base ball . season was ushered
in last Sunday afternoon with a battle
royal between Billy Littlejohn's Mil
lers and "Dutch" McFerrin's Bush
whackers. The bushwhackers won
the game, score 8 to 1. Captain Lit
tlejohn received an injury to one of
his fingers while backetopping, and
Roy Walker of the Millers received
serious injury during the game.
Wednesday afternoon the Athena
high school base ball team met defeat
at the hands of Milton high by the
score of 10 to 2, on the local diamond.
The Athena team was not strictly high
school, "Rusty" Shick who deserved
a shut-out game to his credit, pitching
for the locals. Poor support lost the
game. Shick allowed six scattered
hits, which were generally followed by
an error. Six err we were made by
the Athena boys and together with the
hits received by Milton, netted the vis
itors the ten runs. Athena did not
score until the eighth inning, when a
rally gave two runs. A second rally
was started in the ninth, but the third
out came with the bases full and no
more scores were made.

ORKNEY ISLANDERS.
Proud of Their Norse Descent and Pre
fer Scenery to Trees.
Miss Elinor Hoot, who hits been visit
ing in the little known Orkney Islands,
leils us that the natives nre very proud
of their Norse origin, Indignantly repu
dinting the Idea that their forbears
were Scottish.
"People do not speak here with near
ly so broad an uecent as the people In
Scotland," Miss l!oot remarked to her
hostess,4'nnd I notice the names do not
sound Scotch CUtt, Twatt. Rett, Cur
sitor, and so on. How Is that?"
My liostessstln"ened visibly.
"They are not Scotch. We are not
Scotch. We did not come from Scot
land. Have ye never heard of the
Norsemen from beyond the seas? We
are the descendants of tiicm. We nre
not of Scotch blood. Ye do not call the
Irish English; ye're uot to call us

"I beg your pardon." 1 returned hum
bly, and to change the subject plunged
Into the theme of afforestation. The
venture wns an unfortunate one, as
trees refuse to grow In the Islands.
"Trees spoil the scenery," declared
my hostess. "We would not have them
If w could. If ye go to the southland
ye cannot see anything of the scenery
for the trees. We like to sec scenery '
He Saved the Patent Office.
When In the vnr of 1812 the British,
who bad taken Washington, trained
their guns upon the patent otllce Dr.
Thornton, throwing himself directly be
fore the guns, cried:
"Are you Englishmen or Goths nnd
Vandals? This Is the patent ofUce a
depository of the Ingenuity and Inven
tions of the American nation In which
the whole civilized world Is Interested.
Would you destroy It? Then let the
.charge pa. through my body."
And the building wns spared. Twen
ty-four years afterward, however, II
was destroyed by fire, together with
every thing In It
Couldn't Forget It.
"Saturday night some miserennt lug
ted off a wliole con) of my wood, and
somehow I can't forget about It," de
clared Silas.
"Have you tried to forget It?" In
quired Ills friend -
"Yes. Sunday morning I went to
church, hoping I could gel It off my
mind, and before I had been there five
minutes the cbolr started In singing
The I.ost Chord.' so I got out. "-Judge.
