Parson Billy Beane of the Goshen Democrat strikes a high key note when he says: It has been discovered that the home-grown, handspanked, ragged, barefoot, country boy makes a better fighter in the hattie of life than the pampered, welldlothed city boy, the seat of whose pants are dusted with a golden slipper. Give us the hand-spanked country boy every time.”

The beautiful white buildings of the "exposition are to be sold as junk. They are soon to be advertised and knocked down to the highest bidder.

The most expensive building will probably bring the least money. The Manufacturers and the Liberal Arts buildings, which cost $1,600,000, and which has'ssoo,ooo in arches alone, will of necessity, it is believed, be given to the man who will tear it down and carry the debris away. The magnitude of the undertaking will be realized when it is stated that each arch contains twenty car loads of steel, all the pieces being firmly riveted together. The salvage in Administration building will also be very small. The Mines building, on the contrary, is regarded as a more favorable prospect.' The steel arches are much lighter than those of almost any other on the ground and could be readily taken down and set up again for a large work shop or factory. They would also be available for a depot of moderate sire. ;

As they passed the Makeever House Comrad Yeoman took in the situation, and called out to his son to “shoot the ——This suggestion seemed to meet the exigencies of the case, and Ora blazed away. Pappy is a hard man to miss with a “ranging shot,” but this bullett went wide of the mark and before Yeoman could train his artillery for another shot, Pappy “broke” and lost inter-’' est in the race, and gave it up.
