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.

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.

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 Scotch r "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?
